Assam is burning, the state’s repression has entered a new phase amidst thunderstorms, withdrawals are innocent and shouting. The goal of which is more recognized than humans and policy than the Earth. Chief Minister Hemant Baswa Winter is the architect of the entire project.
Just before the elections, the BJP government, led by Hemant Baswa, has evacuated the poor, backward and most Bengali Muslims in the name of the government land, it is clear that it is not a matter of environment or anarchy.
On July 23, 2025, Assam Chief Minister Hemant Baswa Winter claimed that the Muslim population in the state would be equal to Hindus by 2041. According to him, if the current growth rate continues, the population of Muslims will touch 50 %. The birth of children has now become a threat to a state and in the same fear, they are justifying their expeditions of withdrawal by calling it “population security”.
His statement came at a time when the state government expelled only more than 5,000 families under the bulldozer campaign in the Picker forest area of Gwalpara district. More than 90 % of them were Bengali -Speaking Muslims who were displaced from the river cut for years and settled on these lands. Unlike the official claims, most of them had a 1951 certificate, land receipts and before the voter ID card, but they were declared citizens and their homes, madrasas, mosques and even cemeteries.
In the last four years, at least 43 thousand land has been vacated. Only five thousand families were displaced during the recent operation in the Picker region of Gwal Para. The same story was also repeated in 2021 districts such as Barpeta in 2021 districts such as Barpeta in 2022 and Lakhimpur, Dhobi, Golghat and Gwal Para in 2023-24. It is worth noting that in all these areas, the bulk of the population involves Muslims who speak Bengali. Those who do not even have papers to prove citizenship in NRC are being asked to prove themselves innocent against the repression of the state. Currently, 19.6 million people are out of NRC in Assam, a large number of Muslims. Their citizenship is at the mercy of courts and prevention centers.
Hemant Winter Campaign is not only administrative, but a complete cultural, religious and ethnic alignment. They raise questions, why are the people of South Assam going to Assam? Do humans not find poverty methods? Is there any option for those who displaced from the river to settle on government land? But the Chief Minister is not interested in these questions, he only shows where Bengali Muslims live and how they should be expelled. This is why such campaigns do not run in areas where Assamese Hindu are in majority. The Chief Minister also says that the Supreme Court and the High Court have ordered to clean the government land. If it is actually a legal order, its implementation should be the same. But only Muslims are being targeted and targeted here.
The sad thing is that the entire campaign is being presented by restoration of forests, return of wildlife and protection of environment. Whereas the ground truth is that this campaign is moving forward in human life, bread, education, worship and peace. Once someone’s house falls under the bulldozer, his mother’s grave becomes dishonest, what is the work of returning to the elephants of the forest?
The Prime Minister’s slogan, “All with All, All of All All,” is buried in Assam. It is now only a model of “Shakti, waste of minority”. The BJP is emptying the land for its corporate interests and cutting people in the name of religion and harvesting votes. Despite all this atrocities, oppression and injustice, the voice of the opposition is weak, the judiciary is silent and a large part of the media has become the protector of this state violence.
This is not only the internal politics of Assam, it is an attack on the spirit of the Indian Constitution. If even today, Bengali Muslims in Assam, Dalits in Kalis in Bihar, a day ago, Christians or Sikhs in Tamil Nadu, what will be the remaining democracy? This fire will not only burn Assam all over India.
