A report from Amader Desh describes growing fears among residents of West Bengal’s Murshidabad and Malda districts following India’s Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. Many Muslim families, including government officials and professionals, have found their names missing from the voter list despite submitting valid documents. The exclusions have caused distress, with some individuals unable to access basic rights such as obtaining passports or medical care.
Data from the Shabar Institute and Alt News indicate that around 9.2 million people have been removed or placed under adjudication, 60 percent of whom are Muslims. The report alleges that the process disproportionately affects Muslim-majority areas and high-profile constituencies, suggesting a pattern of systematic disenfranchisement. It also links the exclusions to political motives, citing leaked footage of alleged deals to divide Muslim votes in favor of the ruling party.
Human rights groups warn that the situation could escalate into a regional crisis, with reports of forced pushbacks at the Bangladesh border and fears of a refugee influx, raising concerns about cross-border instability in South Asia.
