10 Fabrications India Uses to Demolish Muslim Properties and Schools, Latest in Uttar Pradesh

Bulldozer Politics and Persecution

Since the arrival of the extremist Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party to power in India, a country afflicted by extremism, it has adopted the policy of the Zionist entity in persecuting Indian Muslims. In recent years, the image of the yellow bulldozer has transformed from a tool of urban development into a symbol of repression and fear sponsored by the state in India.

The demolition of homes, shops, and religious schools owned by Muslims, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, has provoked widespread condemnation and intense international scrutiny. While the government of the extremist Hindu Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath—nicknamed “Bulldozer Baba”—defends these measures as neutral enforcement of the law, human rights organizations and legal experts point out that what is being practiced is a blatant policy of the worst forms of “collective punishment.”

Illegal Demolition of Darul Uloom School

On February 15, 2026, Indian authorities demolished the "Darul Uloom" Islamic school in Narouli town, Sambhal district, Uttar Pradesh, as part of an unjustified demolition campaign under the pretext of "combating encroachments." Officials claimed the building was erected on public land registered for civil use and asserted that the action was legal, following the issuance of official notices. However, local residents expressed their anger, considering that the operation was carried out suddenly and under heavy security protection, with forces from several police stations and special units cordoning off the area in the early morning. Residents managed with great difficulty to remove books and furniture before bulldozers demolished the building, while reports indicated that nearby houses were also described by extremist Hindu officials as "illegal" and may face similar measures.

Despite a historic ruling by the Supreme Court in late 2024, and subsequent clarifications in 2025 and 2026 obliging the Indian state to follow due legal process, India’s rulers insist on using the model of “bulldozer justice.”

Below are the ten most common fabrications employed by India, ruled by an extremist Hindu fascist party resembling the extremists of the Zionist entity, to justify these demolitions.

1. Claim That “Lack of Recognition Equals Illegality”

The extremist Indian government frequently closes or demolishes religious schools on the pretext that they are “unrecognized” by the state board. Yet in January 2026, the Allahabad High Court issued a strong and scathing criticism of this logic, ruling that lack of recognition merely renders the institution ineligible for government funding, but does not invalidate the building or justify its demolition.

2. The “Security Threat” Narrative

In areas such as Shravasti and Siddharthnagar, located near the India-Nepal border, mass demolition campaigns have been justified as measures of “national security.” While the extremist Hindu government claims these campaigns aim to prevent cross-border infiltration, the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and local leaders argue that these raids disproportionately target long-established Islamic educational centers, with the aim of “ethnic” cleansing.

3. Allegations of “Ancient Hindu Roots.”

Far-right groups often submit petitions alleging that mosques or religious schools were built atop ancient temples. As in the case of the Babri Mosque, such claims are used to create a legal and social climate in which these buildings are viewed as “historical violations” that must be corrected. Even when historians find no material evidence, this narrative continues to fuel the rhetoric of so-called “restorative justice” that precedes demolitions.

4. The “Notice Issuance” Dispute

Following “due legal process” through the issuance of notices is considered the cornerstone of the government’s defense. However, investigative reports by Amnesty International and Article 14 have documented numerous cases in which notices were backdated, delivered only hours before bulldozers arrived, or pasted on properties while their owners were in police custody.

5. Planning, Beautification, and Environmental Projects

Large-scale evictions often disappear under the guise of environmental or urban beautification projects. In June 2024, more than one thousand Muslim families in Akbar Nagar, Lucknow, were displaced for the sake of a riverfront development project. While the state described the project as an environmental necessity, critics noted that nearby luxury buildings were unaffected, suggesting selective application of the law.

6. The Pretext of Encroachment on Public Property

The term “encroachment” on public property has become a powerful (legal!) weapon in the hands of extremist Hindu rulers. Buildings are often demolished on the grounds that they occupy land designated for “public ponds” or “agricultural studies.” In Sitapur, a forty-year-old school was demolished under precisely this pretext, despite Muslims possessing tax records and utility bills for the site dating back decades.

7. Punishment for Protesters

One of the most flimsy claims is that demolitions carried out by the extremist Hindu government are the “natural consequence” for those who participate in “riots” or protests. After the Sambhal demonstrations (2024) and protests against the Waqf Amendment Act (2025), properties allegedly belonging to protesters were demolished. The Supreme Court has explicitly stated that even the homes of convicted individuals cannot be demolished, yet this practice continues as a form of extrajudicial punishment.

8. The Excuse of “Dilapidation and Lack of Safety.”

When fabricated legal tricks fail, authorities sometimes claim that a building is “structurally unsafe” for public safety. This allegation is frequently used against old mosques or heritage schools in densely populated areas such as Turkman Gate in Delhi (January 2026), where demolition campaigns led to violent clashes between residents and police.

9. Responding to Misleading Hindu Social Media Campaigns

The state and its supporters often rely on widely circulated videos to justify repression campaigns. In early 2026, fact-checkers at India Today debunked several videos posted by pro-government accounts. These clips claimed to show “illegal weapons” found in religious schools, but in reality they were filmed in different states or years earlier, and were used specifically to incite and mobilize extremist Hindu mobs.

10. The “Foreigner” or “Infiltrator” Tactic

In states such as Assam and parts of Uttar Pradesh, the government frequently adds the label “illegal migrant” to the description of “encroacher.” By portraying residents as “Bangladeshis” or “infiltrators,” the state bypasses the traditional sympathy usually afforded to citizens, making the demolition of their homes and shops more acceptable to the extremist Hindu base.

A State of Chaos and Brutality

The Supreme Court of India warned in November 2024 that such practices could lead to “a state of chaos and brutality.” Nevertheless, 2025 and 2026 witnessed an escalation of these tactics. As human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch point out, these measures are not about urban planning, but about the “marginalization” of a community, turning even homes that were once safe havens for individuals and families into targets of the state.
