The brutal killing of Aniel Chakwa in Uttarakhand is not just a tragedy—it is a national disgrace.

He said, ‘A young man from Tripura, who was proudly Indian, was subjected to racial abuses, inhumanely insulted with words like Chinese and Momo and finally murdered. This was not an isolated incident of violence, it is the result of ignorance, prejudice and the failure of our society to recognize and respect our own diversity.

This incident is very shameful – Shashi Tharoor

Describing this incident as a worrying trend, the Congress leader said, ‘It is shocking and extremely shameful that racism is on the rise in North India, which is often hidden behind light jokes or institutional neglect.’ He said that discrimination against the people of north-eastern states hurts the basic concept of India. The Northeast, with its rich cultures, languages ​​and traditions, is not a distant part of Indian identity, but its core. Yet people from this area often face racial profiling, exclusion and abuse. This should stop now.

Demanding accountability beyond the courts, Tharoor said, ‘We have to demand justice for Aniel (Angel Chakma) not just in the courts, but also in the conscience of the nation. His death should not be reduced to a statistic or a total of headline moments.

Uttarakhand Population: A major change has emerged from the recent demographic data of Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand. According to the report, Muslims are now in majority in 28 villages. This figure is shocking because earlier the Hindu population was more here. This change is especially visible in the Pachhwa Doon area falling within the Vikas Nagar assembly constituency. Let us know what the new figures say.

how much has changed

If we talk about village level data then this change is quite big. In 2011, Dhakrani used to be 60% Hindu and 40% Muslim. But now the Muslim population here has increased to 60% and the Hindu population has fallen to 40%. Similarly, once the Hindu population in Dhalipur was 75%, but today both the Hindu and Muslim populations are at 50-50 percent. Timli and Kushalpur now have 95% and 96% Muslims, whereas in 2011 there used to be 75% and 90% Muslims. Not only this, even in villages with balanced population like Dharmawala and Jeevangarh, now the Muslim population is equal or slightly more than that of Hindus. There are about 28 such villages in Pachhua Doon alone where the Muslim population has increased and the Hindu population has decreased.

what the hell is going on

In fact, after continuous reports of population imbalance came to light, this issue was investigated and family registers were scrutinized. Investigation revealed that in order to save their position, the Muslim village heads, in connivance with the Gram Sabha officials, got the names of their relatives registered in the family registers here. Although after the girl’s marriage outside Uttarakhand, her name should have been removed from the family register, but here the names of the family members are still registered. Not only this, names of sons-in-law and children have also been registered in the register.

After this demographic change, the concern of Uttarakhand government has also increased. Population change was continuously seen in the village in the area of ​​Pachhwa Doon. The areas where Hindu population was high before the formation of the state, now have high Muslim population. All the people whose names have been included in the family register are availing government facilities and their names are also in the voter list. Not only this, but their Aadhar card and ration card are also intact.
