Erasing a Community? Systematic Destruction of Muslim-Owned Properties Continues

A systematic pattern of targeted demolitions is unfolding in India, disproportionately affecting Muslim communities. In Gujarat’s Bet Dwarka, nine mosques and 525 structures were razed, despite legal claims by the Wakf Board. Authorities dismiss ownership rights, labeling Muslim areas as illegal or security threats, raising urgent concerns over dispossession, religious freedom, and state-driven marginalization of India’s second-largest community.
