US rights group condemns wave of mosque demolitions in India - Justice For All says destruction of mosques within days reflects growing pressure on Muslim places of worship under Hindu nationalist rule

A United States-based human rights organization has expressed alarm over the demolition of three mosques in India within a matter of days, arguing that the incidents reflect a broader pattern of discrimination against the country’s Muslim minority.

Justice For All, a U.S.-based advocacy group that campaigns for human rights and religious freedom, said authorities demolished the three mosques over a five-day period, including two in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh and one in the western state of Rajasthan.

The organization’s statement comes after the demolition of Masjid Mustafa Qadri in Sambhal, the Shaheed Azgaib Mosque in Varanasi and Jaipur’s Noorani Mosque. The demolitions have drawn criticism from Muslim groups and rights advocates, who accuse authorities of selectively targeting Islamic religious sites while applying different standards to structures associated with the Hindu majority.

Justice For All said the Shaheed Azgaib Mosque in Varanasi had existed for roughly two centuries and had functioned without complaints regarding alleged encroachment. The group argued that numerous Hindu temples built on public land, roads and other government property across India have not faced similar action, raising concerns about unequal enforcement.

The demolitions come amid growing debate over the status of Muslim religious sites in India, where several historic mosques have become the focus of legal and political disputes promoted by Hindu extremist groups.

Observers say such campaigns have intensified under governments led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which governs both Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Rights organizations and opposition figures have repeatedly accused Hindu supremacists of using allegations of illegal construction, encroachment or historical claims to challenge the existence of mosques and other Muslim institutions.

In its statement, Justice For All argued that the recent mosque demolitions cannot be viewed in isolation but should be understood within a wider climate of anti-Muslim rhetoric, hate speech and increasing pressure on religious minorities.

The organization’s Save India From Fascism campaign said recent developments reflect what it described as a decline in religious tolerance and warned that Muslims and Christians are facing growing insecurity despite constitutional guarantees of religious freedom.

Wasn’t the sub-Continent already divided to solve this issue?

There shouldn’t be ANY mosques in India. The British liberated them from their Islamic conquerors - not that they are appreciative in the slightest for it.

The muzzies killed literally millions of non-muzzies in India over the past centuries.

I am NOT a Buddhist but they were an international treasure!

Religious freedom “by the sword”.

Except it’s NOT a religion!

“Justice For All”, my dyin’ ass.

True justice for Islam would be the elimination of them from the planet.

Their true, full name: “Justice for All(ah)”.

Except All(ah) is actually satan wearing a mask, and justice for him is to burn in the lake of fire forever.

Big sign over the highway to mecca.

You’re not allowed there.

When Islam does it, its fine. Put people on bridges and around buildings to use as human shields? Brave.

Kill homos? Their prerogative.

Oppressed women? They’re happy that way, why would they do it if they didn’t like it?

Islam can do whatever it wants.

They thought the same thing right up until 1683.

Their satan worshiping asses will be handed to them again.

Jesus Christ IS the Victory!

No sympathy here. Wish more mosques were torn down in the US.

The British liberated them from their Islamic conquerors

Not quite as simple as that.

This is what India looked like in 1750

The maratha empire, Sira, northern Sarkars, Mysore, Travancore, Sikhs, Malla were Hindu or Sikh kingdoms

This is quite different from 1700 when the Mughals were at the peak of their power

The last "Great" Mughal - Aurangzeb, extended the empire to its zenith, but he also

  1. p!$$ed off the Hindu Rajputs who were the backbone of his military
  2. imposed Jaziya - which his father, grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfather had revoked
  3. was a very austere and devout Mohammedan, unlike his brother, Father etc.
  4. lived for decades, ending up with myriad successors who fought over the throne in 1707
He created the Marathas and the Sikhs by being brutal with them - and after he was gone, these two powers crushed his successors

However these two powers were heavily decentralized, basically Hindu/Sikh warlords which allowed the British East India company (not the Brit govt) to pick them off one by by, forming alliances with some to crush others

the British ENDED any chance of Mohammedan rule when they crushed the 1857 Indian mutiny (which quite strangely was Hindu sepoys working for the Brits who rose up as the Brits were giving them cartridges smeared in beef fat that had to be bitten off, so affecting Hindu sensibilities - and the Hindu sepoys marched on Delhi to restore the Muslim Mughal emperor as their symbolic head) - the Brits slaughtered the Mohammedan elite class, ensuring that Mohammedans in the subcontinent were now the poorest and least educated

So, not quite black and white as your statement puts it
