You supported Trump knowing he was racist. You just thought he wouldn’t be racist against you.

I travelled to Madhubani, Bihar to report on the brutal killing of Roshan Khatoon and what I found is deeply disturbing. On 25 February 2026, during the month of Ramadan, Roshan Khatoon was tied to a pole and mercilessly beaten by more than 20 people, including men and women, while she was fasting, after she went to the village head’s house to resolve a dispute. Her family says that when she asked for water, she was instead forced to drink a mixture of alcohol and urine, an act they describe as deliberate humiliation because she was a Muslim woman. She succumbed to her injuries on 1 March. What followed raises even more serious questions. Instead of immediately ensuring medical care and justice, police allegedly took Roshan Khatoon and her husband to the Police station while she was critically injured and demanded ₹50,000 for their release. The family says they were eventually released after 5–6 hours after paying ₹4,000. Nineteen people have been named in the FIR. Yet, nearly a month later, only one arrest has been made. Her family alleges that the accused are being shielded due to political backing from BJP and JDU leaders. Meanwhile, even after weeks, the postmortem report has still not been released. A woman was lynched, humiliated in the most inhuman way, and a month later, justice remains nowhere in sight. @bihar_police #JusticeForRoshanKhatoon

The film Santosh, which exposes the harsh realities of society, police brutality, caste discrimination and misogyny has been banned by India’s censor board, while propaganda-driven movies like Dhurandhar are being promoted and allowed to run.

We invite media professionals, across languages and platforms, to connect with us if you are interested in reporting on MGNREGA from a Bahujan perspective, or in documenting the key arguments, lived experiences, and critiques raised by MGNREGA workers themselves.

You are one of the dumbest people on earth, my district is literally a majority white district. Your conspiracy theories are laughable and should have no place in a society that cares about facts.

You don’t have to look to the US to witness the horror of xenophobic state violence. A Bengali Muslim family from Odisha was pushed back & forth FOUR times across the India-Bangladesh border. This photo here of the family is a metaphor of our times. scroll.in/article/108987…
