What the court said in its judgement was the legal equivalent of looking at a marathon runner, who completes the race on a broken leg, and concluding that the fracture could not have been serious because they finished. Arya Suresh✍️ thewire.in/law/what-a-sup…

From @chhuti_is’s deep dive at @thewire_in into SIR deletions in three West Bengal constituencies, together, it is clear that the biggest victims are Muslim voters and the Matua community, that there is a political method in the bureaucratic madness — and that the Supreme Court needs to step in to prevent the deliberate disenfranchisement of voters. “In Mothabari and Nakashipara, the burden fell overwhelmingly on Muslim-concentrated booths, shrinking an electorate that forms the core of [TMC/INC] strength in those constituencies. “In Habra, the pattern flipped demographically but not structurally. The same opaque categories appear to have fallen hardest on Matua-dominated areas, non-elite-caste Hindu refugee settlements marked by chronic documentary vulnerability, citizenship anxiety and dependence on bureaucratic recognition”. She concludes: “In sum, the SIR appears to have worked most harshly against those communities for whom paperwork, presence and political belonging are already fragile. The most obvious forms of electoral manipulation are usually imagined as things visible on polling day – intimidation, capture, coercion, violence. But the SIR in West Bengal shows that a new form of electoral engineering now deserves equal scrutiny, one carried out much earlier, through bureaucratic invisibility.”
