On 19 September 2025, a large rally was held in the city, organized by a coalition of groups, including, Dravidianist film personalities, and Islamist outfits to demand an end to Israel’s ongoing war against the Palestinian.

The protest, which took place on Langs Garden Road in Pudupet, saw the participation of over 5,000 individuals, including leaders such as Thol. Thirumavalavan, the head of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, M.H. Jawahirullah, president of the Manithaneya Makkal Katchi, Dehlan Baqavi of the Socialist Democratic Party of India, rabid Separatist Thirumurugan Gandhi, the coordinator of the May 17 Movement, and  Dravidianist personalities like Sathyaraj and Prakash Raj, as well as director Ameer and Vetrimaran.

While addressing the rally, Dravidianist actor Prakash Raj stirred controversy by holding Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi partly accountable for the violence in Palestine. He stated that the crisis was not solely Israel’s doing, but also the result of support from the United States and the silence of leaders like Modi.

Prakash Raj said, “Why are you artists coming here? If speaking against an injustice is politics, then we will speak politics. There is a poem, this war will end, all the leaders will hand shake and leave, but the truth is that there is a mother waiting for his son, a woman waiting for her husband, children waiting for their father. We do not know who sold this nation and land. But we know who paid the price for it. This is what will happen if we remain silent. There is an answer for them who ask why do artist like you talk like this. A poet who says that if I do not want politics in my poetry, I want to hear the sound of birds. If I want to hear the sound of birds, the sound of warplanes must stop. The rain is coming. Finally, I will say a word and speak. What I, all of us, have to say to this world is that even if it is a wound to our individual body, our silence will heal it. But if I remain silent and do nothing for a wounded nation, it will be more of an injury to a country and humanity. Therefore, before we die… we should not die. Let us fight. This voice will be heard. This is not only Israel’s fault but also America’s which supports it, and also Modi, who remains silent, is also responsible. This is not only Israel’s fault, but also the responsibility of the United States, which supports it, and Modi, who remains silent. Everyone who chooses to stay silent is also responsible. “

Speaking at the protest, DMK stooge Sathyaraj said, “The massacre happening in Gaza is unbearable to watch. How can they go and drop bombs with such a lack of humanity? When you see those children dying, how can the person who attacks Gaza sleep peacefully? Does he have no humanity? They say man evolved from apes, but these people haven’t become full human beings; they stopped halfway. That’s why they have this kind of mindset. The world nations must stop this; the UN must make a decision. Every time a community fights for its freedom, this is how genocide happens. This is how our Tamil brothers, who strived for the Tamil community to flourish in Sri Lanka, were brutally killed. Not just the fighters, but innocent people too were killed. Here too, in the name of war, Israel is planning to wipe out an entire community. The USA is aiding and abetting it.

Everyone might think, “If we hold a meeting in Chennai, will that war stop immediately?” Yes, it will. With today’s social media, if we raise our voice against injustice from any corner of the world, it will reach the entire world. A woman and a man working in the American military were arrested for protesting that America should not give them missiles and weapons. A lone woman and man, who work in the American army, raised their voices loudly without caring about anything, when I saw that, it made me so emotional.

Participating in a meeting like this is the duty of artists like us. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the leaders and comrades here. We actors, like me, my brother Prakash Raj, Vetri Maaran, and our brother Ameer, we act in cinema. That’s a business. We have some talent, and we use that talent to earn money and support our families. But if our popularity, our fame, our reputation is not used for such human rights and human liberation causes, then there is no point (m*yir*kum) in being a famous actor.

For these leaders, going to jail has become an ordinary thing. For my brother Thirumurugan Gandhi, it’s a normal matter. For all the leaders here fighting for the oppressed people, for them, this struggle, the police beatings, and jail are an everyday occurrence, like my brother Thirumavalavan. The people sitting on this stage are the real heroes. We are all “shadow heroes.” Everyone should understand that. Therefore, when we raise our voices against the injustices happening in the world, all people must come together and raise their voices. This is my request. There is no religion, no caste, no God, and no country in this. There is only humanity. Don’t think this is a meeting in support of our Islamic brothers. This is a meeting in support of humanity. Don’t forget that life is common to everyone.”

Sathyaraj also took a moment during the rally to read out a statement of condemnation issued by Dravidar Kazhagam chief K. Veeramani, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and denouncing the ongoing violence.

Similarly speaking at the protest, Dravidianist director Vetrimaran said, “I believe it is the responsibility of every one of us, as an artist and as a human being, to stand in support of people wherever they are being oppressed and wherever they are being killed by oppression. On that basis, what is happening in Palestine is a planned, century-long, systematic genocide. Knowing that civilians and children are taking refuge in schools and hospitals there, they are throwing bombs. For hundreds of years, they have been destroying hundreds of acres of olive trees that are a source of livelihood for them.

They have been doing this continuously, but now they are acting with a very specific and determined plan. Today, Gaza has been declared a famine zone. The UN has declared it as such, which means one in five people are dying of hunger and one in five children are malnourished, without any nutrition. All aid is outside, and they are not allowing it inside Gaza. It is the duty of all of us to condemn this planned massacre, this genocide. I consider participating in such a protest to be my duty and my right. All human beings should gather at this place to emphasize this point. Just now Sathyaraj sir said, “Will this bring about change?” Change doesn’t happen all at once. But it is our duty to register our protest. On that basis, we have gathered here to show that we stand with the people of Palestine, the people of Gaza. I request that we continue to express our voice of protest like this.”

However, the duplicity of the Islamo-Dravidianists were evident. Those who now vocally condemn Israel’s actions were silent when Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups launched a large-scale attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 an assault that marked the beginning of the latest round of violence often referred to as the “Gaza War” or “Israel-Hamas conflict.”

The same individuals failed to speak up during major domestic tragedies, such as the Kallakurichi hooch incident, where 69 people lost their lives, and the illicit liquor deaths in Ekkiarkuppam, Marakkanam, which claimed 14 lives. Additionally, there was minimal reaction to the custodial death of Ajith Kumar and the honor killing of Dalit techie Kavin. The only notable exception was Thirumavalavan, who condemned the honor killing but avoided criticizing his political ally, the DMK.

At a discussion forum organized by Dravidianist propaganda YouTube channel called “The Debate” filmmaker Ameer made pointed attacks on Sanatana Dharma and Brahmins. Positioning himself as an outsider to caste due to his Muslim upbringing, Ameer accused “Aryans” of creating the caste system, linked honour killings to Hindu epics, and openly backed the DMK as the “more positive” force in Tamil Nadu politics. His remarks, laced with sweeping generalisations and provocative claims, also took aim at cultural practices like Vinayagar Chaturthi, portraying them as dominated by “intermediate castes” while alleging Brahmins stay aloof.

Ameer begins his speech by preaching about Islam saying “In this discussion forum with students present, there’s a difference between the other speakers and me. They grew up in the caste hierarchy. I am an exception. They grew up within the caste hierarchy. I grew up looking at the caste hierarchy from outside. Since I was born into a Muslim family, whatever my father taught me is supreme. We’re workers at the lower rung, load-bearing labourers. That’s where I born into and grew up… Even though I was born into an Islamic family, we did not reside in a Muslim-dominate area. We lived amidst the labourers. From my early days, most of my friends have been load-bearing labourers, tricycle drivers, bullock cart drivers, rickshaw drivers.. Since I grew up with them, all of them were my brothers and relatives. So I never had any concept of caste…

Ameer said “Caste was inserted by man. Which man? The Aryan (referring to Brahmins). Sanatana Dharmam. He is only imposing caste here. Why is he imposing? Like he said – Those born from heads – Brahmins, shoulders – Kshatriyas, thighs – Vaishyas, legs – Shudra. In colloquial Tamil during our early days they used to say “why are you behaving like a fourth caste person?”. I came to know of its meaning only after I turned 25. So, this disgusting caste was given by Sanatanam. That Sanatanam is what is keeping him and he keeps talking about caste pride. Those who accept this ideology is the one who is all over the world – he is there as Election Commissioner, a judge in Supreme Court, an astronaut in NASA (hinting at Shubhanshu Shukla), works in Google. But he’s holding on to his caste which means that there is no bigger fool than him in the world. You can’t see them as educated people.

He also says that honour killing have roots in Ramayana and Mahabharatha and feels proud that he hasn’t read them.

He further goes on to quote EV Ramasamy Naicker (hailed as ‘Periyar’ by his followers) saying “Islam is the best medicine to eliminate racial discrimination.”

He further goes on to buttress DMK saying no political party in electoral politics would openly comment on honour killings and caste atrocities as they’ve to get votes at the end of the day.

Both DMK and AIADMK helped in uplifting our lives. There will be positives and negatives. Among them, the one with more positives is the DMK and Dravidian Movement.“, he said.

He further went on to say “Who conducts and heads the Vinayagar Chaturthi celebrations? The dominant community in that area. The one who is above (Brahmins), the so-called upper caste – you can’t see them in the Vinayagar Chaturthi processions. He won’t do piercing. He will never come to Palani Thaipoosam. You can’t see them there. He won’t walk without slippers. I’ve seen them. I grew up nearby the Vaigai River. Those who bring Molappari will have to cross my house to immerse it in the river. I’ve seen people from across but I’ve never seen people from that (Brahmin) community near that aathu (river side). Their “aathu” (referring to Brahmin’s home) is different. I am talking about Vaigai River. Their “aathu” is different. But they use the intermediate caste.

Those who say “Hindus unite” are not talking about this – the person who hacked was a Hindu, the person who died was a Hindu. Does any media talk about that? No. This is the politics. This is what you students should understand. The caste you’re given – you did not ask for it, the religion you’re born – you did not ask for it. But they’ve given you these and someone is asking you to live by it. This is what you have to understand.“, he said like a proselytizer.

Who Is Ameer?

Ameer Sultan, a Tamil filmmaker known for his Islamist-Dravidianist leanings, has faced growing scrutiny over his close ties with Jaffer Sadiq, a former DMK NRI Wing official accused of running an international drug-trafficking network. Dubbed Sadiq’s “bestie,” Ameer was named in an ED chargesheet alleging money laundering through films and was summoned by the NCB in April 2024 in connection with the smuggling of pseudoephedrine worth ₹2,000 crore. In October 2024, a special court summoned both Ameer and Sadiq as part of the ongoing money-laundering case. More recently, Ameer was accused of participating in a coordinated smear campaign against Justice G. R. Swaminathan, aligning with the DMK’s broader ideological ecosystem.

In a region increasingly grappling with ideological extremism and religious radicalization, Aarsha Vidya Samajam (AVS), a Kerala-based socio-spiritual organization founded in 1999 by Acharya Shri K.R. Manoj ji, has quietly emerged as a beacon of hope. Over the past two decades, the institution has rescued and rehabilitated more than 8,000 individuals, many of them youth who were on the brink of full radicalization or religious conversion through psychological manipulation and ideological grooming.

Aarsha Vidya Samajam – Who Are They? 

AVS is more than a cultural or religious institution; it is a grassroots counter-radicalization movement. The organization is rooted in Sanatana Dharma and offers structured educational and counseling programs for youth who have been manipulated by extremist ideologies, primarily through religious conversion tactics.

AVS’s core mission is fourfold:

  1. Adhyayana (Study) of Dharma and comparative religion.
  2. Anushtana (Practice) of spiritual and cultural values.
  3. Pracharana (Propagation) of accurate knowledge.
  4. Adhyapana (Teaching)
  5. Samrakshana (Protection) of individuals and society from ideological exploitation.
Yogacharya KR Manoj Ji

Yogacharya Sri K.R. Manoj Ji is the founder and director of Aarsha Vidya Samajam, established in 1999 under the guidance of his Guru, Sri Sankara Gurudev. Beginning his spiritual journey at age four, he trained in Sanathana Dharma, Yoga Vidya, and Tantra Vidya across three major Guru Paramparas: Aathreya, Kriya Yoga, and Tantra. His work integrates teachings from legends like Mahavatar Babaji and Paramahansa Yogananda. Manoj Ji also founded several affiliated institutions including Sivasakthi Yogavidya Kendram and Bouddhikam Books. He has studied under renowned masters and institutions such as Bihar School of Yoga and Sivananda Yoga-Vedanta University. In 2023, he was honored with the Aurobindo Samman for his service to Sanathana Dharma.

The Threat: How Youth Are Radicalized

Today, we commonly come across the term “radicalized youth”, radicalization. But many are not aware what it means or how it works and how youth are radicalized. Let’s understand this.

The Mechanism of Radicalization

This information has been shared by those who were once victims themselves. They all have chillingly similar stories.

Radicalization often begins in schools, colleges, hostels, and workplaces, where students encounter peers who pose seemingly innocent questions about Hindu customs.

These questions are deliberate traps, exploiting the lack of robust religious or cultural education among Hindu youth.

Over time, through whitewashed narratives, manipulated theology, and emotional exploitation, youth are led to believe their own culture is backward or false.

Groomers often supply Tafsir translations, videos of radical preachers like Zakir Naik, and doomsday theology involving hellfire and divine punishment to instill fear.

Islamic dress codes and behavior are introduced slowly, often framed as moral superiority.

Converts are taught to hate their own families, religion, and nation, with many even adopting new names and becoming hostile to any dissent.

Common Signs of Radicalization

Some of the common signs of radicalization include:

  • Sudden disinterest in family, festivals, or familiar traditions.
  • Abrupt change in clothing, adopting strict modesty rules beyond what their peers follow.
  • Isolation from long-time friends and family.
  • Use of religious terms or ideas not typically found in their upbringing.
  • Open contempt for Hindu practices, deities, or cultural expressions.
  • Withdrawal from music, dance, or other art forms considered “impure.”

Stories of Recovery: Real People, Real Battles

Here are some real experiences of youth who were deradicalized by AVS. Today, all these women are full-timers at the organisation.

Anagha – The Doctor Who Nearly Left Everything

Anagha, a medical doctor, was radicalized over six years through college roommates and colleagues. She began to believe Hinduism was wrong and even considered converting her family. When her family pleaded with her, she responded with complete disdain. She was brought to AVS where a single three-hour discussion with Acharya Manoj ji dismantled six years of ideological conditioning.

Shri Lakshmi – From Khadija Sana to Sanatana Defender

A student of architecture, Shri Lakshmi fully adopted Islamic ideology, changed her name, and covered herself head to toe in a burqa. Her transformation included total disdain for her parents and hatred for Sanatana Dharma. After undergoing AVS’s courses and personal debates with the Acharya, she regained her clarity and now studies law while working full-time for AVS.

Krishna Priya – From Gita Reciter to Radical Islamist

Even though she studied in a Hindu school and had memorized the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna Priya was radicalized through peer pressure and eventually became anti-national. Nothing worked – temple visits, court interventions, or counseling, until AVS brought her back through structured intellectual and scriptural reasoning.

Shruti – The First Woman Full-Timer

Once an educator and a convert, Shruti was so radicalized that she physically attacked her mother for interrupting her prayers. After being retrieved from a conversion center, a short session with Acharya Manoj ji dismantled the blind faith she held, leading her to dedicate her life to AVS and become its first female full-time teacher.

The AVS Approach: Systematic De-Radicalization

AVS’s success lies in its scientific, scriptural, and rational curriculum, which is built around the following core courses:

Adhyatmika Shastra – Foundation course in Sanatana Dharma, covering theology, terminology, and comparative religion.

Bharatiya Samskriti – A deep dive into India’s undistorted cultural, political, and historical legacy.

Yoga Vidya – Scientific understanding of Yogic principles for physical, mental, and spiritual development.

Sudarshanam Course – A flagship de-radicalization program aimed at identifying and dismantling root causes of extremism.

Vidyajyothi Scholarship Program and Students’ Excellence Program – Tailored for students and educators to develop resilience against ideological manipulation.

Classes are held online weekly, with dedicated Q&A sessions, debates, and scriptural study – all grounded in authenticity, reason, and dialogue, not coercion.

AVS Is Not Just A Movement – It’s A Shield

Aarsha Vidya Samajam is doing what few have dared: facing ideological radicalism head-on, with reason, compassion, and clarity. It is a sobering reminder that education without rootedness can make even the most intelligent youth vulnerable to ideological hijacking.

By restoring spiritual literacy and grounding youth in their cultural heritage, AVS is not merely de-radicalizing individuals, it is healing families, rebuilding communities, and safeguarding the civilizational fabric of Bharat.

How to Seek Help or Learn More

Parents, teachers, and guardians noticing sudden shifts in their children’s behavior should reach out early. AVS offers free courses and counseling, available both offline and online. Visit their official website or contact their local centers to enroll in Sudarshanam or other foundational courses.

This isn’t just about stopping conversions; it’s about reclaiming clarity, pride, and purpose in one’s life and lineage.

Georgetown University (GU), a leading Catholic institution in the United States, is facing mounting criticism following the release of two reports alleging that it has become a hub for radical Islamist influence due to extensive foreign funding, particularly from Qatar and other Middle Eastern regimes.

The Middle East Forum (MEF), in a report titled Beachhead: Georgetown University, accuses the Jesuit university of partnering with foreign entities linked to extremist ideologies. The report claims that GU has received more than $1 billion from nations including Qatar, Turkey, and Malaysia over the past two decades, enabling what it calls “a fundamental reshaping of Middle East and Islamic studies in the U.S.”

Central to these allegations is Georgetown’s Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), which was established in 2005 with a $20 million gift from a Saudi royal. MEF claims the center functions as an ideological stronghold promoting views sympathetic to America’s adversaries and hostile to U.S. interests, and that many of its faculty have links to the Safa Network, a Virginia-based group previously investigated by U.S. federal agencies for alleged ties to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The report alleges that 40 of ACMCU’s faculty and advisers over the past 30 years have had affiliations with the Safa Network, which has been accused of pushing Islamist ideology, suppressing intellectual diversity, and theocratizing education.

A second investigation, published in June by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), raises additional concerns. Titled Foreign Infiltration: Georgetown University, Qatar, and the Muslim Brotherhood, the 135-page report accuses GU of underreporting $146 million in funding from Qatar to the U.S. Department of Education in violation of disclosure laws. ISGAP estimates that undisclosed Qatari scholarships and grants could total over $102 million, with millions more allegedly omitted in reporting donations from the Qatar Foundation.

According to ISGAP, foreign funding has led to “a dilution of Georgetown’s foundational Jesuit principles,” claiming that the university’s culture has shifted toward a “pro-Islamist and anti-Israel orientation.” The report warns that this ideological realignment has contributed to increased hostility toward Western values, the normalization of Hamas-linked rhetoric, and the growth of antisemitic activism on campus.

The MEF further links Georgetown to a broader Sunni Islamist alliance involving Qatar, Turkey, and Malaysia, describing these nations as ideological and logistical supporters of extremist movements. Qatar, in particular, has been labeled a principal sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates, including Hamas.

Critics argue that allowing the Qatari regime such deep involvement in an American academic institution poses a threat to national interests. “How can the Qatari regime be permitted to fund one of the most important and sensitive universities in the United States?” the MEF report asks.

The ISGAP report notes a growing trend of Georgetown graduates expressing sympathy for extremist ideologies and hostility toward Israel, a shift it attributes to the university’s evolving academic climate. Medical students and faculty have reportedly made public statements justifying Hamas violence, and the university has hosted pro-Hamas speakers as part of lecture series such as “Anatomy of Genocide in Gaza.”

In 2023, Georgetown drew criticism for inviting UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, widely criticized for anti-Israel bias, to deliver a lecture under its Gaza series. Israeli officials condemned the university’s platforming of what they viewed as pro-Hamas propaganda.

Despite being founded by the Society of Jesus and ranking as the top Catholic college in America, Georgetown has received significant financial support from multiple Arab nations, including Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, and Jordan. It ranks second nationally, behind Cornell University, for total funding from Arab Muslim donors, with Qatar alone providing the majority.

In 2023, GU unveiled the Yarrow Mamout Masjid, describing it as the first mosque on an American college campus to feature ablution stations, a halal kitchen, and a spirituality hall. The university has also boasted of being the first U.S. school to appoint a full-time Muslim chaplain.

The U.S. Department of Education previously warned in 2020 that ACMCU had drawn criticism for misrepresenting its pluralistic mission, with observers noting the absence of meaningful Christian representation at the center.

Georgetown University has not responded to recent media inquiries regarding the allegations outlined in the MEF and ISGAP reports.

Bangladesh’s radical Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami is expected to have its party registration restored, including its traditional electoral symbol of scales (Daripalla), a member of the Election Commission (EC) confirmed on Wednesday. The decision follows a recent verdict of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh ordering the reinstatement of Jamaat’s registration, overturning a previous High Court judgment that had declared the party’s registration illegal. “Jamaat-e-Islami will soon get back its registration. We are taking necessary steps.

The Election Commission has made a decision in this regard,” said Election Commissioner Abul Fazal Sanaullah while addressing reporters following a meeting at the Election Commission Secretariat in Agargaon.

The meeting was chaired by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) AMM Nasir Uddin and attended by other commissioners and senior officials. According to a report in Bangladeshi media outlet UNB, Commissioner Sanaulla stated that Jamaat’s party symbol will be returned following a policy decision made by the EC. Earlier on Sunday, the Supreme Court’s ruling paved the way for the Islamist party to regain its registration with the EC as a political party. Jamaat-e-Islami’s legal battle to regain its political status traces back to August 2013 when the High Court declared its registration illegal in response to a writ petition.

The Election Commission followed suit by formally cancelling the registration through a gazette notification in December 2018. Although Jamaat appealed the High Court’s verdict, the Appellate Division dismissed the appeal in November 2023 due to the absence of the party’s lead counsel. As a result, the High Court verdict had remained in effect – until the recent verdict. The party’s legal resurgence followed the ouster of the Awami League government led by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in a violent mass uprising last year.

In the wake of the upheaval, Jamaat filed a fresh petition seeking to revive its appeal and regain its status as a registered political party. In October, the Appellate Division accepted Jamaat’s petition, setting the stage for Sunday’s ruling. The interim government under Muhammad Yunus, which assumed power following the fall of the Awami League, had earlier lifted the ban on Jamaat and its student wing, Islami Chhatra Shibir, through a gazette notification.

These groups had been declared illegal political entities under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2009 by the previous administration. These radical elements had played a key role in the student-led agitation that led to the toppling of Hasina’s democratically-elected government.

A website dedicated to what it callsdocumenting Hindu Supremacist hate mongers in India and abroadnamed Hindutva Profiles has been in and out of the news for quite some time. The website features a hit list of sorts targeting prominent individuals, including politicians, journalists, activists, and influencers, spread across multiple pages of the website. The list features names like Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Dhami, Himanta Biswa Sarma, and various public figures such as Sudhir Chaudhary, Shefali Vaidya, and J. Sai Deepak. This resembles the PFI’s Vision 2047 document, which detailed plans to target Hindu leaders.

It has come to light that the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) could be behind the website.

In a post, dated September 2022, the day the site went live on their social media handle, the IAMC wrote,#Alert This unique project profiles individuals who are chief proponents of the Hindutva ideology and those who incite and participate in violence against India’s religious minorities. #HindutvaProfiles https://hindutvaprofiles.com/”

Who Is IAMC?

To jog our readers’ memory, who Congress scion Rahul Gandhi met with during his 2023 US visit. Concerns arose when Gandhi was photographed with Sunita Vishwanath, a US-based activist linked to anti-India initiatives like the “Dismantling Global Hindutva” conference. Vishwanath is associated with groups like ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America), known for ties to Pakistan’s Jamaat-e-Islami and promoting anti-India propaganda.

Reports allege that coordinators of Gandhi’s events, such as Tanzeem Ansari and Mohammed Aslam, are connected to ICNA and its affiliate organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood. ICNA has glorified Hizbul Mujahideen leader Syed Salahuddin, a proponent of Kashmir’s separation from India. Another coordinator, Minhaj Khan, is linked to the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC), an anti-India lobbying group. IAMC has been accused of spreading fake news to incite communal tensions and lobbying against India in international forums.

IAMC’s Executive Director, Rasheed Ahmed, also leads IMANA (Islamic Medical Association of North America), implicated for alleged misuse of funds involving links to Pakistani officials and terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The IAMC is a problematic organization with links to Pakistan-based terror groups. It is known for peddling anti-India propaganda in the international arena and also lobbies with US leaders and bodies against Indian interests.

The IAMC had reportedly collected funds for the cause of Rohingya Muslims and used it to pay Fidelis Government Relations (FGR), a US-based lobby firm for getting India blacklisted by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).

Awards To Leftist Journalists

In June 2022, the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC), claiming to be the largest advocacy organization for Indian Muslims in the US, awarded ₹3 lakh in prize money to several Indian journalists and media outlets through its Human Rights and Religious Freedom Journalism (HRRF) Awards. The winners included journalists from Newslaundry, The News Minute, The Caravan, The Wire, Scroll.in, and The New Issue Magazine (UK), as well as news portals Mooknayak and Article 14. The awards recognized reporting on issues like anti-conversion laws, persecution of Muslims during COVID-19, and human rights in Kashmir.

The IAMC has also been criticized for its links to Pakistan-based terror groups and anti-India lobbying efforts, including funding campaigns to blacklist India internationally. The organization has also been accused of violating India’s Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), which prohibits foreign funding of media professionals.

Connection With USICRF

During a February 2023 IAMC event, USICRF Commissioner Stephen Schneck advocated for classifying India as a ‘Country of Particular Concern.’ He asserted, “The Indian government at the local, state, and national level continues to create policies that negatively impact Muslims, Christians, and other religious minorities…Application of these policies has created a culture of impunity for national campaigns of violence against Muslims and Christians. The U.S. must designate India a country of particular concern. We at USCIRF continue to press President Biden and congress to do so.”

Stephen Schneck frequently attends events organized by the Jamat-e-Islami front, IAMC.

Connection With Banned Organisations

The IAMC is very intricately connected with organizations/Jamaat fronts such as ICNA, Justice For All, SIMI, IACSJ, etc. IAMC’s Sheikh Ubaid is friends with Abdul Malik Mujahid, who headed the Islamic Circle of North America, the US front for Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan. It also reportedly has links with the banned Islamist organization Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

The IAMC’s activities raise serious concerns about foreign interference in India’s internal affairs and the misuse of platforms to incite communal tensions. It is imperative for the global community to recognize the IAMC’s true agenda and hold it accountable for its actions. India, as a vibrant democracy, must remain vigilant against such malicious campaigns and continue to expose the hypocrisy and dangerous intentions of organizations like the IAMC.

The brutal killing of a 16-year-old Dalit domestic worker in Chennai has shocked the city and sparked widespread condemnation. Initial reports and police statements indicate that the young girl, employed by an Islamist businessman’s family in Aminjikarai, faced sustained abuse and torture, culminating in her tragic death. However, varying accounts of the incident have emerged in media coverage, with some publications omitting names and providing differing details of the crime.

The victim, a Dalit from Thanjavur, had been brought to Chennai to work as a domestic help for a Muslim businessman, 36-year-old Mohammed Nishad, and his wife, Nazia. The family, along with others alleged to have been complicit, now faces charges including murder and violations under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, as law enforcement authorities work to unravel the details behind this shocking case.

Alleged Motives And Confessions

According to a confession provided by Nazia, the victim was targeted after suspicions arose that her husband had developed a personal interest in the young Dalit girl. In her statement, Nazia admitted that jealousy and fear of her husband’s potential interest led her to begin abusing the girl, with accounts indicating that she subjected her to physical violence, including burning her body with an iron.

This abuse escalated over time, with Nazia allegedly involving her husband’s sister, Seema Begum, friends Lokesh and his wife, Jayashakti, and another maid, Maheshwari, in what has been described as a calculated campaign of abuse and dehumanization of the 16-year-old Dalit domestic help.

On 31 October 2024, during the Deepavali celebrations, the situation reportedly took a horrifying turn when the group accused the girl of stealing, verbally and physically assaulting her in response. Witnesses in the household claimed that the girl collapsed after being kicked by Lokesh, after which she was left unattended in the bathroom, unconscious. Upon realizing that she was unresponsive, the family locked up the residence and fled, without notifying anyone about her death.

A Grim Scene Uncovered

The Dalit girl’s body was discovered on 1 November 2024 when the owner of the apartment complex, Sarfuddin, alerted the police after noticing a foul odor and a locked, unattended apartment. The police broke into the unit to find the girl’s body lying in the bathroom. Initial investigations by the Aminjikarai police confirmed visible signs of torture, including burn marks and signs of strangulation.

Authorities quickly searched for the suspects, who had gone into hiding. They were ultimately apprehended from a friend’s Coimbatore residence, where they sought refuge after the incident.

Times Of India, The Hindu’s Secular Approach

Mainstream media such as The Times of India and The Hindu took a more secularist approach, omitting the names of the accused and focusing on the crime in their headlines.

While the article mentions details of the perpetrators in the paragraphs, it left this detail in the headline that grabs the most attention. This type of narrative setting is prevalent in reportage by leftist mouthpieces like The News Minute and The Wire, which ensure the secularisation of crimes is done to a tee. The Hindu & TOI have also joined the bandwagon of such secular mouthpieces.

Legal Implications Of Murder

In response to the case, the National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW) condemned the alleged torture and killing of the young Dalit girl. The NFIW’s statement emphasized the need for a thorough investigation and called for strict punishment for those involved. The case is being prosecuted under the POCSO Act, a law that addresses crimes against children, though police have clarified that there was no evidence of sexual assault.

The girl’s mother, who reportedly lacked the financial resources to transport her daughter’s body back to her hometown, has received support from local authorities to conduct a cremation in Chennai.

A scuffle erupted at Jamia Millia Islamia University during Deepavali celebrations on the night of 22 October 2024, involving two groups of students. The altercation occurred amid rangoli-making festivities, with reports indicating that the conflict began when one group vandalized the rangoli. Slogans such as “Allahu Akbar” and “Palestine Zindabad” were allegedly chanted during the chaos. The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), which organized the event, condemned the administration for inaction and claimed that “outsiders” and “anti-social elements” disrupted the festivities. The Student Federation of India (SFI) accused the administration of inviting outsiders to create communal tension. Police were deployed, and although no formal complaints were filed, a lathi charge was reported, causing injuries and fear among students. This is the first instance. This incident follows previous clashes at the university, let us take a look at 6 other instances of anti-Hindu activities at Jamia Millia Islamia University in the recent past.

Singh, who has alleged caste-based discrimination, accused them of using derogatory language, forcing him to convert to Islam and harassment. Singh claimed he faced retaliation after filing a complaint with the SC Commission and sought legal recourse, leading to increased hostility from university officials, including fake complaints against him.

3. Pro-Babri Masjid Slogans Raised At Jamia Millia Islamia – January 2024

On 22 January 2024, tensions flared at Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia as videos surfaced of students chanting pro-Babri Masjid slogans on the day of the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha celebrations in Ayodhya. In response, Delhi Police deployed personnel outside the campus as a precautionary measure, although no arrests were made due to a lack of official complaints. The university administration reported that academic activities were not disrupted and that only a few students were involved. The slogans, which called for a boycott of classes, sparked controversy given the recent Supreme Court ruling favoring the Ram Janmabhoomi.

4. Protest Blaming Hindus For Nuh Violence – August 2023

A week after violence erupted in Nuh, Haryana in August 2023, following an attack on a Hindu procession, students at Jamia Millia Islamia staged a protest, labeling the attackers as victims and accusing Hindus of aggression. Despite reports of assaults on Hindu devotees, including deaths and injuries, protesters claimed the violence was anti-Muslim. Eyewitness accounts and FIRs revealed a premeditated attack by a mob targeting Hindu participants and locals. The situation has prompted efforts from certain groups to distort the narrative, portraying the attackers as victims while downplaying the violence against Hindus.

5. Muslim Students In Jamia Millia Islamia Intimidate, Threaten Other Students Against Celebrating Holi On Campus – March 2023

On 1 March 2023, during a Holi celebration event called ‘Rangotsav’ at Jamia Millia Islamia University, some Muslim students opposed the festivities, threatening peers who participated.

University Vice-Chancellor Najma Akhtar condemned the SFI’s actions, emphasizing the need to maintain harmony on campus. The administration reiterated that no screenings or gatherings were allowed without prior permission, threatening strict disciplinary measures against organizers for any violations.

7. Principal Asks Dalit Teacher To Wash Utensils, Make Tea – July 2022

In July 2022, Harendra Kumar, a Scheduled Caste employee at Jamia Millia Islamia University, filed a complaint with the National Scheduled Caste Commission alleging that the university failed to implement reservations for Scheduled Castes and Tribes in appointments and promotions. Kumar accused the university’s officials of discrimination and colluding against him, which led to his wrongful termination from a guest computer teacher position. To support his claims, he provided evidence of threats and harassment from university authorities, including demands to perform menial tasks. Kumar’s actions prompted an investigation by a three-member committee formed by the commission to address the grievances he raised.

They not only indulged in anti-Hindu activities, but they also have been involving themselves in anti-national/anti-India activities over the years. Read more here.
