IMPORTANT NOTE - I received a cancellation of my #OCI (Overseas Citizenship of #India) *today* after arriving home. A bad faith, vindictive, cruel example of #TNR (transnational repression) punishing me for scholarly work on anti-minority & anti-democratic policies of #Modi rule.

As British Indians, many of whom hold OCI cards, we must push back against these oppressive policies. Challenging divisive politics should not stop you from travelling home to see family, friends or just to visit. Shouldn’t we be allowed to ask questions without fear of punishment?

Whilst we condemn the terror attacks in Palalgam, we must also recognise the long history of repression in Jammu and Kashmir, by successive Indian Governments.

India’s parliament has passed the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024, introducing major changes to how Muslim charitable properties are governed.
The govt says the bill improves transparency: but critics say it’s a direct attack on minority rights and Islamic tradition👇
