The country saw several instances of crackdown on illegal religious conversion in the past month. This report details 15 separate incidents of alleged unlawful religious conversion occurring in the state of Uttar Pradesh throughout September 2025, as compiled from various Indian news sources.

The documented cases consistently follow a pattern, accusing evangelical Christian groups and individuals of systematically targeting impoverished, tribal, and Dalit communities. The methods of inducement include promises of miraculous healing, financial aid, job opportunities, and educational support.

In response, law enforcement agencies across multiple districts have taken action, made numerous arrests and registering cases under the stringent Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act. These events have sparked significant legal and social discourse on religious freedom and coercion in the region.

#1 Mirzapur Conversion Racket Busted

On 30 September 2025, Mirzapur police uncovered a major inter-state religious conversion racket, arresting five individuals, including the alleged mastermind, Dev Sahayam Daniel Raj from Tamil Nadu. The gang was accused of systematically targeting poor, tribal, and underprivileged families, luring them with money, sewing training, and “healing prayer meetings” to convert them to Christianity. Investigations revealed the group had already converted nearly 70 people and was in advanced preparations to convert 500 more. A case was registered at the Ahraura police station, and a probe has been initiated to uncover the gang’s funding sources and wider network across state lines.

#2 Gorakhpur Women Arrested for Conversion

On 29 September 2025, in the Sahjanwa area of Gorakhpur, police arrested two women, Lakshmi Yadav and Roshni, for allegedly operating a religious conversion racket. The accused, a beauty parlor operator and her aide, were reported to have lured poor villagers by promising miraculous cures for illnesses and a better life through their spiritual practices. Lakshmi allegedly used a handkerchief in fake healing acts and offered hopes of jobs and money to convince people to read the Bible. Police raided a house in Sahjanwa, arrested the duo, and recovered religious materials related to conversion activities.

#3 Fake Healing Gatherings in Lucknow

In 28 September 2025, Nigohan police in Lucknow arrested a man named Malkhan for allegedly orchestrating religious conversions through fraudulent “Changnai Sabhas” (healing meetings). A convert since 2016, Malkhan used a hall on his farmland as a church to lure Dalit women and children from nearby villages. He performed staged healing acts, such as claiming to cure epilepsy, and offered money to persuade families to adopt Christianity. Using a WhatsApp group named “Yeshu Changnai Sabha,” he spread his influence and conducted baptisms. Police arrested him and launched an investigation into his financial sources and conversion network.

#4 Mass Conversion Attempt in Gorakhpur Village

On 28 September 2025, police intervened in a mass conversion attempt in Bhagoura village, Sahjanwa, Gorakhpur, where approximately 100 women had been gathered inside a house. Members of the Christian community were allegedly carrying out collective conversions at the location. Upon receiving information, law enforcement reached the scene and detained four to five individuals accused of orchestrating the event. An investigation was launched to determine the scope of the operation and the methods used to gather and influence the villagers, highlighting concerns over large-scale, organized conversion activities in rural areas.

#5 Charge Sheet in Kundawali Village Case

On 27 September 2025, police submitted a charge sheet to the court against four accused—Anju, Hridesh Kumar (alias Vicky Pastor), Neetu, and Surendra Pastor—in a conversion case from Kundawali village, Islamnagar. The incident, which occurred on 26 August 2025, involved individuals from Kasganj and Bisauli gathering villagers to conduct Christian prayers and lure them into conversion. Investigations revealed that Pastor Surendra, the alleged mastermind, had already converted over 200 people using financial temptations. The accused pressured villagers by repeatedly visiting their homes and conducting prayers, leading to about 30 conversions before police action was taken.

#6 Marital Fraud and Coercion in Firozabad

On 24 September 2025, in the Tundla area of Firozabad, a case was registered against Brijmohan (alias B.M. Masi) and his family members for allegedly forcing his wife, Jamuna Devi, into religious conversion following a fraudulent marriage. The complainant stated that 11 years after marrying under Hindu rituals, she discovered her husband had concealed his Christian identity. She accused him of assaulting her for worshipping Hindu deities, forcing their daughters to participate in Christian practices, and promising benefits like free education and foreign money if they converted. Police have begun an investigation into the assault and forced conversion allegations.

#7 Tension Over Conversion Gathering in Basantpur

On 22 September 2025, tension erupted in Mohad Ward, near the Shivnath River in Basantpur, Chhattisgarh, when 15-20 people from the Christian community gathered for prayers. Local villagers opposed the gathering, alleging it was a religious conversion meeting intended to lure people into Christianity. The situation required police intervention from the Basantpur police station. The matter was ultimately resolved on the spot through counseling and dialogue, preventing further escalation. This incident underscores the social friction and communal sensitivities surrounding conversion activities in the region.

#8 Eight Arrested in Hardoi for Inducements

On 22 September 2025, in Bhauptuwa village, Adampur, Hardoi, police arrested eight individuals, with Lal Singh as the main accused, for allegedly attempting forced religious conversions. Based on a complaint, it was revealed that the accused organized a gathering where candles were lit, prayers were conducted, and religious texts, including copies of the Bible, were distributed. The villagers were reportedly enticed with promises of monetary benefits and free medical treatment in exchange for converting to Christianity. Cases were registered under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021.

#9 Phoolpur Gathering Targets Hindu Deities

On 21 September 2025, in Baudai village, Phoolpur, police registered a case against 12 named individuals for allegedly using a religious gathering to lure people into Christianity while making offensive remarks against Hindu deities. The meeting, held under the guise of “Changnai Sabhas” or fake healing prayers, was intended to convert members of the local Hindu community. The accused, including Santosh, Ram Ashray, and others, were charged under relevant legal sections. This case highlights the use of derogatory statements against indigenous faiths as a alleged tactic in conversion efforts, further inflaming religious sentiments.

#10 Agra Racket Lured People from Multiple States

On 19 September 2025, Agra police arrested Rajkumar Lalwani and eight others for allegedly running a large-scale religious conversion racket from his home in Kedarnagar, Shahganj. Lalwani lured people from states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra under the pretense of providing treatment or solving financial problems. Participants were reportedly subjected to conversion rituals involving meat and blood, and later taken to large prayer gatherings in Ambala. Each Sunday, large meetings were held at an ashram for the converted individuals. Lalwani was remanded to jail, and investigations, including warrants for other accused, continue.

#11 Illegal Church Preyed on Dalits in Phoolpur

On 19 September 2025, in Baudai Katauta village, Phoolpur, Prayagraj, an illegal church was found to be luring poor Dalit villagers with promises of money and other inducements. The church, connected to an entity called the “Changaai Sabha Agriculture School,” was also allegedly holding seminars to influence people against Hinduism. Police questioned two individuals involved and recorded their statements as part of an ongoing investigation into the forced conversions. This incident highlights the specific vulnerability of economically and socially marginalized groups to such alleged conversion activities.

#12 Shahjahanpur Couple Ran Long-Term Racket

On 16 September 2025, Shahjahanpur police arrested a couple, Harjeet Mashi and Sunita Mashi, from the Sidhauli area for allegedly running a long-term forced conversion racket. The duo reportedly lured locals by offering cures for illnesses and financial benefits, pressuring them to adopt Christianity. During the arrest, police recovered religious literature meant for influence and evidence of monetary support from various trusts. The accused were presented in court and sent to jail after cases were registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Uttar Pradesh anti-conversion law.

#13 Basti Church Used Money and Medicine as Bait

On 17 September 2025, in the Chandrashekhar Azad Nagar Ward of Babhnan, Basti, police arrested two individuals, Ram Nihor and Ramtej, for allegedly using a local church to coerce conversions. The accused were reported to have lured people, particularly Hindu women, to prayer meetings by offering money and medicines. Once there, they pressured them to adopt Christianity. A case was registered under the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Conversion Act 2021. The accused were arrested near Marvatia village, presented in court, and subsequently sent to jail.

#14 Farrukhabad Gang Used Online and Offline Methods

On 3 September 2025, Farrukhabad police busted a conversion gang led by Pradeep Mashi operating from the Kadri Gate area. The gang allegedly lured poor and distressed villagers to religious gatherings at Mission Hospital residences, promising to solve their problems and relieve poverty or ailments. Attendees were prohibited from Hindu worship, gradually pressured to convert, and subjected to rituals like tilak removal and meat consumption. The gang also conducted online prayer meetings via Google Meet under the name “Church of God.” Police arrested Pradeep Mashi and seized religious literature and documentation of conversion attempts.

#15 Unauthorized Prayer Meeting in Basti

On 1 September 2025, in the Rani Pokhara Mohalla, Basti, police registered a case against four individuals—Harihar Yadav, Ambika Prasad, Shiv Shankar, and Durgavati—for organizing an unauthorized prayer meeting. The gathering was allegedly held under the pretext of a religious event to pressure locals, particularly from scheduled castes, into adopting Christianity. The police intervention prevented the meeting from proceeding further, and an investigation was launched to ascertain the full intent and activities of the accused, marking one of the first such reported incidents in the state for the month.

Sujatha Bhat Who Lied About ‘Missing Daughter’ Claims She Was A “Pawn” In Orchestrated Conspiracy Against Dharmasthala, Apologises

By

sujatha bhat ananya bhat dharmasthala confession

In an explosive and wide-ranging exclusive interview with Asianet Suvarna News, Sujatha Bhat, a central figure in the controversial Dharmasthala case, has come forward to claim she was used as a “pawn” by a political gang, asserting she has no connection to the ‘Burude’ gang and was misled into making false allegations.

Bhat stated that her entry into the national spotlight was orchestrated by individuals including Girish Mattanna and Jayanti T, who contacted her after seeing an older YouTube interview where she discussed a property dispute. She claims they manipulated her personal grievance into a larger, fabricated narrative.

A Web Of Deception: From Delhi To The Supreme Court

Bhat detailed a sequence of events where she was allegedly manipulated. She recounted being taken to Delhi in May with no clear explanation, told only to bring clothes and her Aadhaar card. There, she was taken to the Supreme Court premises but was made to wait outside, completely unaware of the contents of the petition being filed or the purpose of her presence.

“The gang of thieves will come. Another one will come. They will put me in this pit,” Bhat stated, emphasizing her ignorance of the plans being executed around her. She identified Girish Mattanna as the primary point of contact who directed her actions, including instructing her to cry and claim that a missing daughter’s last rites should be performed as per Sanatan Dharma—a story she now says was entirely fabricated.

The Fictional Character of “Ananya Bhat”

A key revelation in the interview was the admission that “Ananya Bhat,” presented as her missing daughter, was a complete fiction. Bhat claimed this character was created by a man named Shivshankar for a YouTube channel interview a year prior, related to her property dispute. She alleged that Girish Mattanna and others later co-opted this fictional character to build their case.

She also admitted to providing an edited photo, removing Ranga Prasad from a picture to support the false narrative, an act she now regrets, stating she did not foresee the consequences.

Financial Struggles And Denial Of Monetary Motive

Forcefully denying any financial gain from her involvement, Bhat stated, “I haven’t taken a single rupee from anyone.” She revealed her current bank balance is a mere 5,000 rupees and described her previous livelihood of selling soup and juice in a park, a profession she can no longer sustain due to public notoriety.

“I was making soup… I used to work up to 500 a day,” she said, contrasting her past simple life with her current predicament where people “look at me like someone committed a murder.”

A Life Of Loneliness And A Plea For Livelihood

The interview painted a picture of a profoundly isolated individual. Bhat spoke of being abandoned by friends and the gang that used her. Following the death of her companion Ranga Prasad in January, she stated she is now “completely alone,” unsure of how she will survive.

Her final plea was not for money but for an opportunity to work and regain her dignity. “They don’t want me to bring lakhs of lakhs to you and keep it in your hand,” she said. “They are saying, ‘Give me a shop or something and I will work and eat there’.”

In another undated video clipping, she is seen saying, “I just want to say this publicly to society: it was my mistake, please forgive me. People might say in other ways that I killed someone, or I stole something, or that I took money, but I have no money with me. I am not someone who would kill anyone. I have no connection at all with that person. I have nothing to do with it in any way. This is my personal matter. Because of someone’s words, I got confused and did what I did. And for that, I bow my head in front of society and ask for forgiveness.”

Radical Leftist Rag The Wire Misrepresents NCRB Data On Railway Accidents To Peddle False Propaganda, Here’s The Truth

By
The Commune
-

The NCRB recently released data related to railway accidents in 2023. Seeing just the numbers, leftist news portals started erupting in joy as they saw it as yet another opportunity to pull down the BJP-led central government.

A closer look at the details of the NCRB report exposes the flawed understanding and the bias of these leftists in highlighting details that are suitable for them in setting their anti-government narrative.

Here is what The Wire reported.

And this was what the other portals did.

Let us take a look at The Wire’s reporting to analyse the flaws.

The investigation, based on National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) and Ministry of Railways datasets from 2004-2023, confirms the headline number but exposes its irrelevance to assessing railway operational safety, revealing instead a decade of dramatic improvement under the current administration.

The Critical Distinction: Two Classifications, One Misleading Headline

The core flaw in the reporting lies in the failure to distinguish between two entirely separate classification systems:

NCRB’s “Railway Accidents”: A broad category that includes any death reported on or near railway property. This encompasses:

  • People falling from overcrowded trains.
  • Trespassers being hit by trains while walking on tracks.
  • Suicides on railway tracks.
  • Deaths at unmanned railway crossings.
  • Natural deaths occurring on railway premises.

Ministry of Railways’ “Consequential Train Accidents”: A strict metric tracking only systemic failures in train operations that cause casualties, property damage exceeding ₹2 crore, or traffic disruption exceeding 24 hours. This classification explicitly excludes trespassing, falls, and suicides.

The Real Story: 73% of “Railway Accident” Deaths Are Behavioral, Not Operational Failures

A detailed breakdown of the NCRB’s 2023 data, which reported 21,803 deaths, reveals the true nature of these incidents:

  • 74.9% (18,480 cases) involved “fall from trains or collision with people on the track.”
  • 72.8% (15,878 deaths) resulted specifically from falls or collisions with trains—events not classified as train operational failures.
  • Only 56 cases were attributed to driver fault.
  • Only 43 cases resulted from mechanical defects in rolling stock.

This data indicates that approximately 73% of the deaths attributed to “railway accidents” are behavioral incidents involving trespassing or falling from trains, not failures of the railway system’s safety.

Decade Of Dramatic Improvement In Actual Train Safety

When the correct metric, “Consequential Train Accidents” is applied, the data reveals a starkly different and positive narrative. The period from 2014-2024 shows remarkable progress compared to the previous decade (2004-2014):

60% fewer consequential train accidents, with the annual average dropping from 171 to 68.

A 73% improvement in the international safety benchmark -accidents per million train kilometers – which fell from 0.11 in 2014-15 to 0.03 in 2023-24.

For the first time in history, Indian Railways recorded zero passenger deaths from train accidents in the fiscal year 2019-20.

The Trespassing Epidemic: A Behavioral Challenge, Not An Infrastructure One

Data from the Railway Protection Force and various divisions highlights the central role of trespassing:

  • In the Delhi-NCR region alone, 1,321 bodies were recovered from tracks in just 2.5 years, with over 50% due to trespassing.
  • The Chennai division reports that 70-75% of daily track deaths are from trespassing and falling from trains.
  • Central Railway data shows 1,210 out of 2,388 track deaths (50.6%) resulted from trespassing alone.

Studies indicate that 35% of trespassing deaths occur where foot overbridges (FOBs) are available but unused, pointing to individual choice as a primary factor.

Historical Context

An analysis of official government records, NCRB reports, and RTI data for the 2004–2014 period provides essential context for understanding India’s railway safety trajectory. During the UPA government’s tenure, consequential train accidents—those caused by operational failures resulting in casualties, property damage exceeding ₹2 crores, or significant traffic disruption—totaled 1,711, averaging 171 accidents per year. Year-wise data shows a steady decline from 234 accidents in 2004-05 to 118 in 2013-14, marking a 49% reduction over the decade.

While the total number of accidents fell, NCRB-reported railway deaths remained high, largely due to behavioral factors rather than operational failures. Available data from 2008-2014 indicates annual fatalities ranging between 24,126 and 27,765, with an average of roughly 25,960 deaths per year. Importantly, the vast majority of these deaths resulted from falls from trains, trespassing, suicides, or level crossing incidents—not systemic train errors.

Derailment statistics further underscore this distinction. Between 2007 and 2012, Indian Railways recorded 400 derailments, averaging one every five days. These incidents caused 115 deaths and 800 injuries over five years, with most derailments causing limited casualties. Major accidents in 2004-05, such as the Sadbhavana Express and Jammu Tawi-Ahmedabad collisions, led to fatalities ranging from 10 to 58, demonstrating the sporadic nature of large-scale incidents.

Safety metrics show marked improvement even during this period. Accidents per million train kilometers—a global benchmark—declined from 0.29 in 2004-05 to 0.10 in 2013-14, a 65% improvement. This trend demonstrates that Indian Railways was steadily improving operational safety, even before the substantial investments in post-2014 modernization programs.

In comparison, the period 2014-2024 saw further acceleration, with annual consequential accidents falling to 68 and total fatalities dropping to 748. While the UPA era laid the groundwork for safer operations, post-2014 investments in infrastructure, technology, and safety campaigns have delivered unprecedented reductions in operational train accidents.

Misclassification Of Suicides Inflates “Accident” Figures

Forensic studies further complicate the NCRB’s classification. A study in Secunderabad found that 56% of railway fatalities were suicides, 44% were accidents, and 0% were homicides. The NCRB’s methodology of often classifying intentional deaths as “accidents” significantly inflates the statistics used to suggest systemic failure.

Unprecedented Investment In Safety Infrastructure

The narrative of declining safety is contradicted by record levels of investment dedicated to infrastructure and prevention:

  • Creation of the ₹1 lakh crore Rashtriya Rail Sanraksha Kosh dedicated solely to safety improvements.
  • Annual track renewal spending surged to ₹10,201 crore (2015-23) from ₹4,702 crore (2005-14).
  • Nationwide deployment of the Kavach anti-collision system on critical routes.
  • Launch of “Mission Zero Death” campaigns targeting trespassing and unsafe behavior.
Leftist Narrative Debunked By Data

The reporting by The Wire and others, while numerically accurate in its raw citation of the NCRB figure, is fundamentally misleading. It conflates individual behavioral choices (trespassing, suicide) with systemic operational failures, ignores a 15.5% improvement in overall railway-related deaths since 2014, misunderstands the critical difference between NCRB’s broad classification and the railway ministry’s strict safety metrics, overlooks the 60% reduction in actual train accidents over the past decade and fails to acknowledge unprecedented safety investments and documented improvements that meet international standards.

The real challenge facing Indian Railways is not operational safety, which has seen historic improvement, but addressing complex behavioral and social issues like trespassing and suicide prevention. Conflating these distinct problems serves neither public understanding nor the goal of genuine safety enhancement.

DMK Govt Arrests YouTuber Maridhas For Video On Karur TVK Stampede

By
The Commune
-

In yet another case of clampdown on dissent in Tamil Nadu, popular YouTuber Maridhas was arrested by the DMK government on Friday after he released videos criticizing the ruling regime’s role in the stampede at TVK leader Vijay’s rally in Karur, which claimed the lives of 41 people.

Police claimed the video carried “misleading and false statements” about the tragedy and booked him under multiple sections of the IPC and IT Act. He was arrested from his residence in Chennai’s Neelankarai suburb and taken into custody.

Maridhas has consistently taken on both sides — slamming the TVK for its recklessness and accusing the DMK government of failure and even of attempting to sabotage Vijay’s political rise.

In one video, Maridhas had raised suspicions about DMK leader Senthil Balaji since Karur is his stronghold.

“For stampede to happen, there needs to be a confusion in the crowd and a fear induced because of that. If this happens naturally, it is an accident. But if someone tries to create such a situation artificially in a crowd which the politicians are very much capable of, and that too when you go to Karur.. today if there is one person in Tamil Nadu who is very close and is the right hand man for Stalin, it is Senthil Balaji. Senthil Balaji gang is the one which is collecting money per bottle and giving it to DMK family. If Vijay is going to Senthil Balaji’s bastion of Karur, on one hand he is a powerful minister and Senthil Balaji is a big ‘Ammavaasai’ (a cunning politician). If you prepare a list of politicians who would do politics on anything and go to any extent, he will be at number one position. Such a politician who would do anything, with high criminality, and someone close to the ruling family being their right hand.. if Vijay is going there, you should have the sharpness to gauge the conspiracy. Who should have such sharpness? The commission that is investigating.“, said Maridhas.

He further said that TVK members are raising valid questions and went on to point out three things that hint at a conspiracy. He mentioned:

1) An ambulance that kept doing rounds and Sun TV jumping in to putting bytes of the ambulance driver about the crowd not letting the ambulance go

2) Sun TV’s another byte of a person who is supposedly close to Senthil Balaji as seen from his social media

3) Powercut that happened during the rally which the Aruna Jagadeesan commission set up by the DMK government to probe the stampede, had tried to dismiss

Maridhas had also taken aim at the Aruna Jegadeesan Commission arguing that it was not moving in the right direction and appeared to be nothing more than a facade to cover up the real failures of the DMK government. He further went on to make allegations against the ruling DMK government and blamed it for the loss of 41 lives.

Further on 4 October 2025, Maridhas had posted on his social media about exposing the “entire drama staged by the DMK gang in court”.

This video had gone viral on social media triggering action from the DMK government as MK Stalin himself had put a video message saying that strict legal action will be taken on those who make defamatory remarks in social media.

“10 Ruba Balaji.. What was the trick that happened in court against Vijay? – At 6 PM today.”, Maridhas had posted on X.

At 1 PM, Maridhas had posted that police have arrived at his house.

The DMK government has arrested Maridhas despite multiple judgements that arrests should not be made for social media utterances.

Marking the beginning of its centenary year, Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Chairman Dr. Ajay Kumar outlined a forward-looking vision for the Commission, emphasising its role in nation-building and the need for modernisation. He said the centenary year serves not only to celebrate UPSC’s legacy but also as a springboard for renewal and outreach, particularly towards aspirants from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.

Dr. Kumar highlighted initiatives designed to deepen engagement with candidates, including the launch of the anecdote portal “My UPSC Interview: From Dream to Reality”. The portal invites serving and retired civil servants to share their experiences of appearing before the UPSC Interview Board. Submissions are open until December 31, 2025, and a selection of entries will be published during the centenary year in 2026.

The Chairman also unveiled new visual identities for the Commission. The updated UPSC logo features the national emblem at its core, symbolising authority and service, surrounded by a wreath of banyan leaves representing wisdom and resilience. A ribbon inscribed with Sangh Lok Seva reinforces the principles of accountability and duty. Complementing this, the Centenary Logo features a wave motif representing UPSC’s century-long journey—progressive, enduring, and adaptive—with the UPSC emblem integrated into the final ‘0’ of ‘100,’ underscoring its centrality to India’s administrative evolution.

Dr. Kumar emphasised that the centenary year will catalyse institutional reforms, including closer cooperation with state public service commissions, sharing of best practices, and enhanced feedback mechanisms. He identified inclusivity, digital transformation, and engagement with a new generation of aspirants as priority areas. He noted the increasing use of digital tools and artificial intelligence to meet the expectations of Gen Z candidates, while reaffirming the Commission’s commitment to merit, transparency, fairness, and integrity.

Welcoming officers, staff, and guests on UPSC’s 99th Foundation Day, UPSC Secretary Shri Shashi Ranjan Kumar reflected on the Commission’s near-century-long journey. He said the centenary provides an opportunity not only to commemorate the distinguished past but also to commit collectively to future readiness, ensuring that UPSC remains adaptable to evolving national and global governance challenges.

Established on 1 October 1926, under the Government of India Act, 1919 and the recommendations of the Lee Commission, UPSC has been the backbone of India’s merit-based civil services. With the centenary celebrations now underway, the Commission seeks to reaffirm its legacy while embracing new opportunities and challenges for the future.

“Tamil Film Industry In Grip Of DMK Family”, Alleges Actress & ADMK Member Gautami

"Tamil Film Industry In Grip Of DMK Family", Alleges Actress & ADMK Member Gautami

In a stark public accusation, former actress and political figure Gautami has stated that the Tamil film industry is currently in the “grip of the DMK family,” citing this as the primary reason for her absence from Tamil cinema.

Outlining a comprehensive system of control, Gautami claimed the ruling party’s influence extends across the entire film ecosystem. “The entire industry is in the grip of the DMK family,” she stated. “There are right from several production companies that are either producing or buying up films under production, who are contracting with stars and actors to be bound to them for a certain number of productions, right through to the distribution networks again which are under their control, the theaters which are under their control.”

The actress, who has been openly critical of the DMK and aligned with the BJP earlier and now with the AIADMK, directly linked her political stance to her professional exile. She explained that given she has been “diametrically opposite” to the DMK politically and ideologically, “it stands to reason that there are going to be certain doors that are either shut or certain doors that I would not want to knock on.”

Despite the current climate, Gautami expressed optimism for a near-future return. “I am very confident that very soon I will be back in Tamil cinema,” she said, predicting that such a return would coincide with the industry “breathing a deep sigh of relief” and the restoration of “oxygen and creativity and free enterprise” to Tamil films.

Dravidian Model Tamil Nadu Sees Massive Surge In Crime Against Dalits And Children

NCRB Report Reveals Dravidian Model's True Colours - Violence Against Dalits And Children Tripling In TN

The National Crime Records Bureau’s (NCRB) 2023 report has exposed a “grim and troubling picture” for Tamil Nadu for a party that prides itself as champions of ‘social justice’. It reveals a stark contrast where a decline in overall violent crime masks a sharp and alarming surge in offenses against its most vulnerable citizen – Dalits and children.

A Statistical Surge in Atrocities

The report highlights a disturbing year-on-year increase in crimes against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Cases registered under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act rose from 1,761 in 2022 to 1,921 in 2023, a 9% jump. This surge appears even starker over a five-year horizon, with cases climbing 68% since 2019.

Similarly, crimes against children have followed an “upward trend,” with the state registering 6,968 cases in 2023, up from 6,580 the year before. The capital city, Chennai, mirrored this pattern, recording a jump from 54 to 573 cases. Experts warn that this trend reflects “serious gaps in social protection, policing, and child safety systems.”

Living A Lie, Massive Administrative Failure

Social activists Shalin Maria Lawrence and Vrinda Adige, speaking on a News9 panel moved beyond the statistics to indict the state’s law and order apparatus and political leadership.

The official statistics, provided by the state’s own Home Department, show a significant rise in registered cases. However, during analysis of these figures, a critical perspective emerged challenging the narrative that increased reporting indicates better law enforcement. Critics state that only minor statistical anomalies are acknowledged while rejecting the idea that improved reporting alone explains the surge.

A more alarming assessment suggested the official data represents just a fraction of actual crimes. Observers state that this number is the number that’s getting reported, but this is only one third of the actual cases and that is how it must be taken, indicating the true scale of violence may be three times higher than official records show.

Critics identified a pervasive culture of impunity as a primary driver of the increasing violence. The perception that offenders can escape justice through corruption is highlighted as a major concern. This perception is substantiated by abysmally low conviction rates, reported at just 5% for both SC/ST and women-related crimes. The poor conviction rate underscores systemic failures in the justice delivery mechanism, from investigation through prosecution.

The data and subsequent analysis reveal a state grappling with escalating violence against vulnerable communities, with official statistics potentially masking the true severity of the situation and systemic flaws enabling continued perpetration of crimes.

Jamaat-e-Islaami Hind-Owned MediaOne Sees “Hidden Hindutva, Sangh Parivar Narratives” In Kantara: Chapter 1

Jamaat-e-Islaami Hind-Owned MediaOne Sees "Hidden Hindutva, Sangh Parivar Narratives" In Kantara: Chapter 1

Kantara: Chapter 1 seems to have hit the leftists and “liberals” where it hurts for being openly Hindu and espousing Hindutva values.

A recent review by leftist “news” channel MediaOne, jittered by the film, came up with a review titled “കാന്താര ഒളിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ഹിന്ദുത്വ” meaning The Hidden Hindutva in Kantara.

This review video has been widely criticized for interpreting the film’s deep-rooted portrayal of indigenous Bhoota Kola traditions and land rights struggles through a narrow and divisive political lens.

Review Alleges Right-Wing Political Manipulation

In its analysis, the MediaOne review acknowledges the film’s visual grandeur and narrative scale but concludes that the world of Kantara ultimately serves to “help right-wing politics.” The review states, “That equation will apply to all films that manipulate all myths and legends in a way that helps right-wing politics,” alleging that the sequel includes “efforts to strengthen it further.”

It further claims that while the “Sangh Parivar co-existence is not visible at first glance,” such narratives serve to “entrench the same politics.”

Backlash Accuses Channel of Dividing Hindus

The review has been met with severe criticism from sections of the audience and cultural commentators who accuse MediaOne of intolerance towards the authentic depiction of Sanatana Dharma.

MediaOne TV is a Malayalam news channel operated by the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, an Islamic organisation. MediaOne TV first received its license from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B Ministry) in 2011 and was launched in 2013.

This explains why the analysis is an expression of a “Jihadi System.” The channel and its team cannot seem to tolerate seeing Hindus united and thrilled by the cinematic portrayal of their religious and cultural roots.

The review had said “Making Panjurli and Guliga, only god for Hindus. Later, making them Sanghi.”

Critics feel this is how the leftist-Islamist ecosystem divides Hindus – they differentiated Hindus in the saffron color, the saffron flag, the rakhi, the saffron cloth, Lord Rama, Lord Hanuman etc.

MediaOne’s review frames the film as a vehicle for majoritarian politics, while its critics frame that very review as an intolerant attempt to discredit and divide Hindu cultural expression. The debate ensures that Kantara: Chapter 1 enters the public discourse not just as a film, but as a cultural flashpoint.

It is noteworthy that the same channel had propagated lies about the RSS and peddled lies along with the leftist news portal The News Minute during the Dharmasthala “mass burial” controversy.

About Jamaat-e-Islami Hind

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, often referred to as the Jamaat is an Islamic political and social organization in India. It is part of the larger Jamaat-e-Islami movement, which was founded by Syed Abul Ala Maududi in British India in 1941. The Jamaat-e-Islami movement has a presence in several countries, and each branch operates independently in its respective nation. In fact, Maududi is acclaimed by the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic Circle of North America, Hamas, and other Islamic organizations.

Here is a look at its activities.

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind held a “Palestine Solidarity Convention” on 13 October 2023 in Kerala’s Malappuram district, featuring Palestinian Ambassador Adnan Abu Alhaija and Gaza University Vice Chancellor Dr. Kamlain Shaa’ath. The event’s poster condemns “Zionist occupying terrorism.” The meeting coincides with Hamas leader Khalid Mashal’s global call for “jihad” following Israel’s Operation Iron Swords launched after Hamas’s deadly October 7 attack.

In October 2023, the Solidarity Youth Movement (Kerala Youth Wing of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind), invited Hamas founding member Khaled Mashal to speak where anti-Hindu slogans were raised. Khaled Mashal presented a video message of approximately 7 minutes in duration. In his sermon, Khalid reportedly asked the people present at the rally to extend unconditional support to Hamas and allegedly made anti-Hindu comments. The nature of the video address, whether it was live or pre-recorded, has not been confirmed.

After the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) praised the development as a “restoration of peace and order.” JIH president Syed Sadatullah Husaini described the Taliban’s return as a victory of the Afghan people over “imperialist forces” and called the power transfer “peaceful.” He urged the Taliban to establish an Islamic welfare state that protects minorities and women’s rights.

At a Jamaat-e-Islami Hind event in Kerala in September 2024, state secretary Shihab Pookkottur claimed that major Indian landmarks, including Rashtrapati Bhavan and Jamia Millia, stand on Waqf land, asserting that related legal cases are ongoing. Speaking against the Waqf Amendment Bill, he said it threatens Islamic property rights and alleged widespread “encroachment” on Waqf assets. Pookkottur argued that Waqf properties are foundational to India, claiming “every corner of the country is Waqf land.” He described Waqf as central to Islamic civilization and accused society of harboring jealousy toward the Muslim community’s growth and development in Kerala.

From Pakistani Grooming Gangs, Synagogue Attacks To Islamists In Positions Of Power: Is UK Becoming Unsafe For Jews?

By
The Commune
-

The United Kingdom has been thrust into the spotlight as concerns over the safety of its Jewish community escalate, following a deadly terror attack outside a synagogue in Manchester. On Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, a terror attack occurred when a Jihadi drove his car into congregants before proceeding to stab two people to death and injuring three others. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the attack as a chilling reminder of the persistent threat of antisemitism, warning that hatred against Jews is “rising once again” and emphasizing the urgent need for national vigilance to protect Britain’s Jewish population.

UK – Growingly Unsafe For Jews

A British Jew took to X and made the following post calling for fellow Jews to leave the country. He wrote, “I am a British Jew… I left the UK last year out of fear for my family’s safety. Today, my worst fears were confirmed. But the writing was on the wall. When Muslim thugs drove through our neighbourhoods screaming they were going to rape our daughters… no one was jailed. When a Muslim thug tried to stab Jews at our kosher supermarket… he wasn’t jailed. When British streets were flooded by mobs screaming globalise the intifada… the home secretary joined them. Meanwhile Jews were told to leave because our presence was “provocative”. The British government and police have Jewish blood on their hands. To my friends and family… leave while you still can.”

Given the recent incidents and the Jihadist attacks on Jews in the United Kingdom, the fears of this handle are not unfounded.

Let’s take a look at the recent attacks on Jews and the larger community in the country.

Increasing Anti-Semitic Attacks 

The synagogue terror attack in Manchester is not the lone incident that took place in the recent days targeting the Jewish community.

Here is a list of instances where Jews were targeted for their faith/community.

#1 Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue Attack (Manchester, 2 October 2025)

On Yom Kippur morning, a 35-year-old British national of Syrian descent drove his car into pedestrians outside the synagogue, then stabbed the on-site security guard. Two worshippers were killed and three others seriously injured before armed officers shot the assailant dead. Greater Manchester Police have classified the incident as a terrorist act.

#2 Rising Physical Assaults Recorded by CST (First Half 2025)

The CST documented 1,521 antisemitic incidents nationwide from January to June 2025, including 315 assaults on visibly Jewish individuals and 223 incidents targeting synagogues or congregants. Of these assaults, 86 involved offenders in vehicles, and 97 incorporated explicit threats.

#3 Surge in Assaults and Threats (2024)

In 2024, Britain experienced its second-highest annual total of antisemitic incidents, with over 3,500 reported. The CST recorded 121 cases of physical assault, 223 synagogue-related incidents, and 260 school-related antisemitic cases, alongside more than 1,240 instances of online hatred.

#4 Incidents Linked to Public Demonstrations (2025)

Throughout 2025, at least 33 antisemitic incidents occurred at or en route to anti-Israel demonstrations in Westminster, involving placard-wielders and individuals shouting threats at Jewish passersby. A further 21 incidents targeted Jewish organisations during these events.

Grooming Gangs

Grooming gangs in the United Kingdom emerged as a major social and criminal issue over the past two decades, drawing significant media attention and public outrage. These gangs typically targeted vulnerable children and teenagers, often from marginalized communities, using manipulation, coercion, and psychological control to exploit them for sexual purposes. Victims were frequently lured with gifts, attention, or false promises, before being subjected to sexual abuse and sometimes criminal activities.

Several high-profile cases, including those in Rotherham, Rochdale, and Oxford, revealed systemic failures in addressing the abuse. In Rotherham alone, an estimated 1,400 children were sexually exploited over a 16-year period, with local authorities accused of failing to act due to fears of being labeled racist, as a majority of the perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage. The scandal exposed gaps in law enforcement, social services, and child protection protocols, prompting nationwide investigations and reforms.

Critics argued that authorities were slow to respond, citing political correctness and bureaucratic inertia as key factors. In response, the UK government implemented stricter safeguarding policies, increased funding for victim support services, and launched initiatives to improve inter-agency coordination. Awareness campaigns also aimed to educate communities about the signs of grooming and the importance of early intervention.

Despite these efforts, grooming gangs remain a pressing concern because the authorities failed to recognise the people behind the grooming gangs for what they are.

Allowing the jihadis to breed and thrive in their country has led to the present situation of the United Kingdom where their own people feel fear and want to leave.

This has been furthered by the election of Islamist leaders in positions of power. Let us take a look at them.

Muslim Politicians And Elected Officials In The United Kingdom

Muslims make up approximately 6.5% of Britain’s population (3.4 million people), while Muslim MPs represent about 4% of Parliament. The increasing political participation of British Muslims reflects the growing problems in UK politics – the community seems to refuse to integrate in the cultural fabric of the UK while trying to push Sharia on the mainstream English.

Here is a list of Muslim politicians in power in the UK.

A record number of 25 Muslims were elected to the UK Parliament in 2024, representing the most diverse parliament in British history. This includes:

Labour Party MPs (18 total):

  1. Dr. Zubair Ahmed – Glasgow South West
  2. Sadik Al-Hassan – North Somerset
  3. Rushanara Ali – Bethnal Green & Stepney
  4. Tahir Ali – Birmingham Hall Green
  5. Dr. Rosena Allin-Khan – Tooting
  6. Apsana Begum – Poplar & Limehouse
  7. Dr. Rupa Huq – Ealing Central & Acton
  8. Imran Hussain – Bradford East
  9. Afzal Khan – Manchester Rusholme
  10. Naushabah Khan – Gillingham & Rainham
  11. Shabana Mahmood – Birmingham Ladywood (Secretary of State for Justice/Lord Chancellor)
  12. Abtisam Mohammed – Sheffield Central
  13. Yasmin Qureshi – Bolton South & Walkden
  14. Naz Shah – Bradford West
  15. Tulip Siddiq – Hampstead & Highgate (Economic Secretary to the Treasury)
  16. Zarah Sultana – Coventry South
  17. Mohammed Yasin – Bedford
  18. Nesil Caliskan – Barking

Conservative Party MPs (2 total):

  • Saqib Bhatti – Meriden & Solihull East
  • Nusrat Ghani – Sussex Wealdayaaninstitute

Independent MPs (4 total):

  • Adnan Hussain – Blackburn
  • Ayoub Khan – Birmingham Perry Barr
  • Iqbal Mohammed – Dewsbury & Batley
  • Shockat Adam – Leicester South

Executive Mayors

Sadiq Khan – Mayor of London (since 2016), serving his third term as the first Muslim mayor of London. Khan oversees a budget of approximately £20.4 billion and manages transport, policing, and housing across the capital.

Ceremonial Mayors (Recent Appointments)

Several appointments were made in 2025:

  • Shahin Ashraf MBE – First Muslim woman mayor of Solihull (appointed May 2024)
  • Mohammed Asaduzzaman – First South Asian Muslim mayor of Brighton and Hove (appointed May 2024)
  • Mayor of Sandwell – First Muslim mayor appointed in 2025

Local Councillors

Over 200 Muslims currently serve in British local government across various councils. Key concentrations include:

  • Tower Hamlets (London): 30 Muslim councillors
  • Bradford: 24 Muslim councillors
  • Birmingham: 17 Muslim councillors

Recent local elections in May 2024 saw 39 Muslim candidates win seats across 24 local authorities out of 134 who stood for election.

Historical Context

The first Muslim elected official in Britain was Bashir Maan, who became a Glasgow City Councillor in the 1970s after emigrating from Pakistan in 1953. The first Muslim MP was elected in 1997, followed by the first Muslim life peer in the House of Lords in 1998. Shahid Malik became the first Muslim government minister in 2007 as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for International Development.

Current Government Positions

Several Muslims hold ministerial positions in the current government:

  • Shabana Mahmud – Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor
  • Tulip Siddiq – Economic Secretary to the Treasury
  • Rushanara Ali – Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government
UK Becoming Unsafe For Jewish Communities

Based on the above, it is clear that the United Kingdom is facing a profound and systemic crisis regarding the safety of its Jewish community. The horrific Yom Kippur synagogue attack in Manchester is not an isolated event but the culmination of a deeply troubling trend of rising antisemitic violence, intimidation, and institutional failure.

The fears expressed by British Jews are a direct consequence of this escalating environment. This atmosphere has been fostered by the alarming rise in jihadist-inspired attacks and public incitement, and a concerning political trajectory that has seen individuals with documented histories of anti-Israel and divisive stances elevated to the highest offices of law and order and national security.

The appointment of figures such as Shabana Mahmud, who describes her Islamic faith as the “absolute driver of everything” she does and has a record of supporting the BDS movement and opposing the deportation of foreign criminals to the pivotal role of Home Secretary, despite these controversies, signals a troubling shift in the UK’s political landscape. This, combined with the record number of Muslim politicians attaining power, many of whom represent constituencies and hold views that appear at odds with the integration and security of the Jewish community, has created a palpable sense of vulnerability among British Jews.

When the streets witness mobs chanting “globalize the intifada,” when grooming gangs have operated with impunity due to political correctness, and when the government’s response has been inadequate or conflicted, the conclusion is inescapable: the foundational security and cultural identity of Britain is in danger. Without a decisive and unequivocal reversal of these trends rooted in robust security measures, political accountability, and a reaffirmation of British values over divisive identity politics, the fear that the UK is growing increasingly unsafe for Jews will not only persist but will become a tragic reality.

Why Thirumavalavan Should Shut Down His Party VCK Or Rename It As DMK Dalit Wing

By
The Commune
-

Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) chief Thol. Thirumavalavan has built his political career branding himself as the uncompromising voice of Dalits and an independent force in Tamil Nadu politics. But in reality, he has steadily reduced his party into nothing more than a loyal extension of the DMK singing paeans and butteressing when his own people has been at the receiving end of the Stalin governments’s failures. Whether it is liquor prohibition, Dalit atrocities, police brutality, or even the Karur stampede, Thirumavalavan’s responses follow a predictable script: soft-pedalling DMK’s failures, inventing scapegoats, and deflecting blame to the BJP. For a leader who claims to champion “independent” Dalit politics, his record speaks of nothing but subservience.

In the name of alliance dharma or what seems like subservitude, Thirumavalvan has never criticised the DMK but instead has blamed the BJP despite them not being in the picture in the first place!

Take for example, the recent Karur TVK rally stampede. Instead of questioning the DMK over the crowd mismanagement or holding the TVK responsible for the crowd swell, Thirumavalvan has chosen to blame the BJP for the chaos and tragedy.

Thirumavalavan accused the BJP of “underground dealing” to shield Vijay from police action, arguing that “the BJP is trying to save Vijay” while ordinary people bear the brunt of law enforcement.

Let us take a look at some of the instances where Thirumavalavan has done the same.

The Vengaivayal Case 

In the Vengaivayal case involving fecal contamination of water tanks in a Dalit colony, Thirumavalavan initially criticized the CB-CID investigation but took a notably restrained approach compared to his usual activism. Despite VCK announcing statewide protests in February 2025, Thirumavalavan limited his demands to requesting a judicial inquiry rather than completely breaking with DMK.

While expressing dissatisfaction with the CB-CID chargesheet that named three Dalits as accused, Thirumavalavan met CM Stalin personally and submitted a memorandum seeking a one-man inquiry commission. This measured approach contrasted sharply with the fury expressed by affected Dalits who were in “closed-door protest”.

Liquor Prohibition Issue (2024-2025)

In September 2024, Thirumavalavan harshly criticized DMK for not implementing total prohibition despite their 2016 election promise, calling it an “anti-national act”. However, after meeting with CM Stalin in September 2024, he changed his stance significantly. Following his meeting with Stalin, Thirumavalavan announced that DMK would participate in VCK’s anti-liquor conference and stated “there are no issues whatsoever in ties between his party and the DMK”. He defended Stalin by saying the CM conveyed that “there was no difference of opinion in bringing prohibition into force” and accepted the government’s “phased manner” approach.

Ultimately, he said that they will present the petition to the central government to ban liquor in the country, implying that it was the BJP-led central government that was responsible for the whole alcohol-related mess in the state.

Sanitary Workers’ Protests (August 2025)

When DMK-run municipal authorities deployed police against protesting sanitary workers, BJP leaders attacked VCK for its silence. Thirumavalavan countered by blaming the BJP’s previous governments for privatizing essential services and accused them of hypocrisy: “I am not defending DMK, but why this double standard?”.

Power-Sharing Controversy Management (September 2024)

When Thirumavalavan’s “share in power” video went viral and was initially deleted from his social media, raising speculation about alliance tensions, he quickly clarified his position. He emphasized it was a “long-standing ideological standpoint” and assured that VCK would remain with DMK.

Flagpole Removal (September 2024)

In Madurai, local authorities removed a 62-foot flagpole of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), originally erected to commemorate the party’s founding by Thol Thirumavalavan. Officials cited road expansion as the reason, though VCK leaders insisted the reinstalled pole followed all rules. On 13 September 2024, police again dismantled the relocated post, sparking protests from party functionaries who accused the district administration of targeting them. Thirumavalavan condemned Collector M.S. Sangeetha, alleging deliberate harassment of VCK. While criticizing the administration, he also sought intervention from DMK ministers, reflecting his balancing act between opposition politics and ties with the ruling party.

Rejecting Opposition Overtures (November 2024)

Despite hints from AIADMK and speculation about VCK switching sides, Thirumavalavan firmly rejected rumors in November 2024, stating: “Our alliance with the DMK is unconditional” and “No need has arisen to discuss an alliance”.

Fear of Hindutva Compromising Progressive Values (August 2025)

In a broader ideological critique, he warned that fear of the BJP’s Hindutva politics was “pushing the Left and VCK to compromise on progressive values,” effectively placing responsibility on the BJP’s polarizing agenda rather than on DMK policies

Defending DMK on Vijay-TVK Issues (October 2025)

In the recent Karur stampede case involving actor Vijay’s rally, Thirumavalavan criticized police for not acting against Vijay while filing cases against others. However, rather than attacking DMK directly, he raised questions about “underground dealing between DMK and Vijay” while simultaneously alleging that “BJP is trying to save Vijay”.

Despite expressing frustration that “even while being in the ruling alliance, we are being targeted”, Thirumavalavan consistently chooses alliance preservation, stating: “politics cannot be based on one or two incidents. We have to think about the broader good of Tamil Nadu”.

At this point, Thirumavalavan can no longer pretend to be an independent Dalit leader. His politics has been reduced to providing cover fire for the DMK while posturing as a radical. Every time the ruling party is cornered, he steps in to shift the blame onto the BJP or invent a conspiracy. If Thirumavalavan cannot speak truth to power in Tamil Nadu, he has no business running a party that claims to represent Dalit interests. The honest thing for him to do would be to either shut down VCK or rename it for what it has become — the DMK Dalit Wing.
