My two cents on the CJP is - it lacks the ideology, vision and the organization to take on the Indian state & the rot within Indian society. It talks of social justice but they themselves are unaware of what they mean by it. A social vision w/o uttering “caste” or “Muslims” ?

This is how Amit Shah was welcomed in Shillong, Meghalaya.
People were simply disgusted with the VIP culture of blocking all roads because of Amit Shah’s Visit.

A Muslim rat-hole miner helped save 41 lives and was celebrated as a hero. Months later, his home was bulldozed by the Hindutva government.

As Muslim heroes once again risk their lives to save others in the Delhi fire, the question is simple: "Will they be thanked or will the Hindutva government reward them with another bulldozer?"

It means a state of society in which some men are forced to accept from others the purposes which control their conduct.”

The Name Test

A 15-year-old Muslim girl from Bijnor was groomed over six months by a 22 year old man, Titu Pal, who promised her love and an escape. He convinced her to drug her family's tea.

While they lay unconscious, he and his associates robbed the house. Then, instead of the elopement he had promised, they took her to a banquet hall and gang-raped her.

The accused are all Hindu. Titu Pal, Vishesh, Ritesh and one juvenile.

The girl is Muslim.

Now run the name test. Flip the religious identities and ask yourself what the news cycle looks like.

You know the answer.

Instead, there is strategic silence. Not a single English-language national outlet covered this story. No NDTV. No Indian Express. No Hindustan Times. No Times of India.

The story never crossed into the English media ecosystem, which is where national narrative gets set and where international attention flows.

The English press buried the story. The Hindi press buried the girl.

Regional Hindi outlets did cover it. And the language they chose tells you everything.

Navbharat Times ran this headline: "Beti ne pilai maa baap ko nashili chai, usi ke saath ho gaya bura kaand" (Daughter gave her parents drugged tea, and then the bad thing happened to her.)

Amar Ujala went with: "Parijano ko nasha dekar nikli kishori, premi ne 3 sathiyon sang kiya dushkarm" (Girl who drugged her family and left, raped by boyfriend and three others.)

She is "kishori." He is "premi." The victim is framed as a participant. The perpetrator gets a term of endearment. The assault becomes a consequence of her choices, not his crime.

Can anyone seriously claim this language would have been used if the girl were Hindu and the accused were Muslim?

The headlines would not say "boyfriend." They would say "jihadi." The girl would not be "the one who drugged her family." She would be an innocent Hindu daughter, lured and destroyed.

The framing is the politics.

There are reports suggesting the main accused has affiliations with Hindu nationalist groups. If true, this case is not just an irony. It becomes something considerably darker.

But we may never find out. Because the media that would have investigated every WhatsApp contact of a Muslim accused is not going to ask that question. Not this week. Not any week.

Love Jihad was never a legal category. It was always a narrative tool. Its job was to frame every Hindu-Muslim romantic interaction as predatory by definition, with Muslim men as the default aggressor and Hindu women as the default victim in need of protection.

That framework has no architecture for this story. So the story doesn't exist.

The girl exists. Her testimony exists. The FIR exists. Three men have been arrested.

But for the outlets that turned a slogan into a political weapon, this particular crime, with these particular names, is simply not news.

The silence is not absence. It is a position.
