but also we have seen what, what, you know, what happened when i had language english. okay. hello. okay. okay. so we're going to let yeah, we're going to let you know i sent mr. kalama jewelry. i just want to hear from our 3rd guest cows tab, you've heard 2 very different narratives, obviously. yeah, you know, pushing against each other. where is the truth? where is the truth? i mean, i would like to bring out the, a logic context here. and i think it is also do with the fall of the land. want to see that a, some assistance has been having and allow me just are 2 to 3 minutes you up to on back to school. okay. but before you unpack and provide as context, i want to ask you a very basic question. are they targeting bengali muslims or muslims from bengali origin? i would put it this way that there is definitely a dog getting off the lot of the know, watch delays, communities and been going in was soon perhaps happens to be one of the larger. okay. okay. and at an an jury jury, do you accept that?

no. i don't. okay, let's see if he has not dog at the marginalized community. it was totally up. well, let's see. off the gone and government led addicted. and there is nothing to be like an old dog getting a margin, not as government gate or any government. do you see? yeah, i mean, okay, we don't know. i think a present time. unfortunately, i'm gonna have to speak the loudest. i appreciate that you're, you're passionate about this topic. we're going to give you a chance. if you can, we have some time. so don't worry counts tab. i've heard different, different explanations as to why this is happening. you know, there's a new government in power. we're seeing these evictions increasing. let's forget for a moment who's being targeted and the xena phobic language? is this part of an electoral agenda? why is this happening? what's the context that you can help us understand why this is happening? c, i'm in here. i would like to go beyond just the mean i party a or a party b. so,

but we have to understand the position of us. i'm here as a state, as a region, as an historical community. and we have to see that, you know, there are 2 things that play here. one is the past that continues to the postcolonial times, and one is the ecological present. right? i mean, without understanding the ecology of the place, it is very difficult to get into this debate. right. uh, we have to understand that our son has a very, very high rate of land erosion. riverbank erosion which is many times higher than the national average in india. the figure is really astounding. it is close to up a 1000000 full 40 so will be 470000 hectic, enormous meters. all the lawsuit that get so it's a very high figure. so that is something that is moving to whole disposal, eviction and encroachment there are people forever kind of in a white community living for want this flyer, right? we don't understanding that we just cannot jump into a political debate by just picking up one party or the other for now that that is there. yeah, yeah, yeah, i appreciate you bringing that up. of course there's an environmental aspect that's

underpinning a lot of this. why people are being displaced, and if those people who are being kicked out actually are being relocated or not. i do want to hear directly from jury. i'm going to come right back to you at the, at the, at that at the back end of this video. this is from an al jazeera package in june. it shows a family in a som, who's being evicted, speaking directly to this issue. and then i'll come back to jury, take listen. as it is then and his daughter amena, pick up the pieces of the 10 shack that was their home until 10 days ago. they collect the bags of ginger, which he used to farm on a small piece of land as it then takes a moment to reflect before leaving the shack, an indian northeast and our farm state. his family is now staying and toppled and tense with others whose homes were demolished by government bold doses. mizzi monday. not what i was. so we have been here for so long all these years. i made my

living working here grew up here. my father died here. now i have grown old. why this happened. i have no clue if. so during when you see this man saying he's been there for nina decades, and these families are being evicted regardless of the motivation behind it. what is being done by the government? it's done. first of all, when i see the videos, when you are showing that in the media, i have been you know, following a zeta before. also, the community is which you all wish that you don't show or, you know, you all the deals are not actually the into the news. awesome. uh huh. where did the when haven't you have been presenting a sub? most of them are you are showing the the only or is it like know what actually the immigrant of been goal is from doug about dish. no,

i will call it but i you must, you must do a 2nd to finish will come right to continue. jury, so you continue your point then independent since the independent clause independent and after the partition off bangladesh, then that is that did $71.00. there had been a lot of immigration and before and it also was since 1950. there had been a lot of immigration and this has been done the miss that, that mr. julie unruly thing and i some has started wrong back the were and then you're off. are she? yes her a lot during that that get all the just spoken in. do minutes or a team course jury joy, you have to get a big history of course and being it and partner when i'm part of what and part of what we're trying to do on this show jury. if you just let me explain this year, you're saying that you know, this is about al jazeera and what al jazeera focuses on and it's reporting this

show. and this topic is really to understand what is happening to human beings, human beings who are being dispossessed. and we're, i have one point to raise this down that when it is called like human, irrespective of religion or the cost of the grade. when we are saying about the eviction, it's more of the gold medal landing effective love really? yeah. right. and then it is the lake in all. so some of the media also. and so the so so about that. yeah. so, so, missouri, missouri, missouri, people, people on the ground who are bearings. i wonder if i may ask if i may, people on the ground are witnessing and there are reports and it's not al jazeera, only local reports international report. i think just being one of the media that the majority of those affected by these evictions are in fact muslims and of from bengali origin. i want to ask you abdulla column, you know, why is this?

why is this such a such a controversial issue? what is, what in your mind, you were interrupting jury there what in your mind is being missed in the way the international community is viewing this? yeah, i think of course the was going in a video i did. it shows that it has it, it has a video now on the context and down and the context of judy was twisting. yes, in a sam eviction is a, it's a video video only. sure. even before partition muslims that when evicted in 1946, there was an eviction dr. let that one with sweet. we also see that kind of eviction. and now when zoom replies to tail dent this, people up by lobby. she but she doesn't modify balances. i fade or isn't of bangladesh, but we, i was actually illegal in this. i am not saying that val how india, how you know,

in any grant how, how can we get them illegal immigrant, their body legal immigrant, bit out in cities in that that, that, and i think that so, so and how can, how can we process that? i've gotten to a point and, and, and coming to that point, we've dealt with a cost of lift when this large number of people are getting, you know, displaced every year. bumping doesn't have any plan to have them. but, and then when this people get displaced, what they do is they do actually contest a citizen, show up this people. if you'll see the current crisis with in, in, in, in, in a, in total put in a dot on the state. you will see that the, it is a multi stakeholder in all stakeholder a on petition going on to make them, you know, homeless. you will see that foss together did have a clear,

it's clear to me that i'm deal kilometer jury are in disagreement. i want to hear from power stop. i'm but please give me half immediately is going to happen. we need to do to, to finish my point is dead when quickly. what's your point? yeah, yeah. so this people who went did i, in or displaced by anybody illusion and the central in goldman land you know, it stays there for a several 1000000. de leon? i just now fell on both. now we'll just go there. yeah, no. okay. okay. i actually this. okay. so, so it's a that it's actually i have, i don't believe we did. i did. okay. unfortunately, unfortunately our audience and i am struggling to understand you. so i'm going to go to cows tab. i appreciate that. you're in disagreement. if they have evidence to prove that they're citizens, obviously you disagree as to whether they are citizens, cows to up. we have another journalist and researcher, not from al jazeera jury,

just in case this way. you know, a local, if you will. so someone actually in the hague sent us this. horace czar gar. take a listen to what he says about what we're witnessing in a some. what we witnessing in awesome is to swell it big. so it's nick, communal and sort of politics. a song for long has been decided to fall contestation for the hindu to forces an ideology championed by dakota ruling dispensation of by mr. not into more d and his bud to gentle party and miscommunication and mr. presentation off muslim bengali, speaking migrant as illegal and coach has been on this xenophobic troop a summer will be true as muslims being these. so for an inmate does and coaching on the lance of the indigenous people. so what we're witnessing in us on little pe, then b o, r o for span across india, we had muslims, would be desperate to dest for this susan ship. and so, basically,

the litigated either as a concussed isms or state less people. so what i understand cow stub and i think it is important to be made clear for our audience. at the very minimum is that there are many people and some who have been in india for generations, but they may not have necessarily all of them. the paperwork to prove it and there's this national registry, the n r c that a lot of people are criticizing saying it doesn't, it doesn't do enough to protect these people and it doesn't include not only muslims, but others in your opinion. what is the enter r c supposed to address, you know, supposed to really accomplish and is it accomplishing that where, where is there a solution for these human beings that are being evicted in increasing numbers? yeah. before that, before that, i mean i would have like one quick reaction to what we just are and i think it will, it does not help you be just a very linear kind of people,

just falling what's happening in the north will be our reactionary because that's very simplistic, i mean that, that the binary off the, everything to the sides of the know most others that actually is not very good about them. we have lots of ethnic because we have no competence between price . we have competitors between indigenous but this one in the janitor so that it got something very understandable perhaps through. it needs more time in the morning when i started coming back to your coming back to your question. and i mean interestingly enough is one enterprise list. everybody is satisfied. now you've been willing to complete the washing the ends off and are see that the both perhaps what was a more and i see what eventually not been do you know, been met and what happens is that interestingly, i mean, and i asked the question also we have lots of you know, gratian you can say or not. so i would really about an event from them. simple

listen over time because everybody thought that we'd be at the document that we kind of want them for all that we cannot see them. but now of course, we have seen that it is paperwork and bureaucratic state. it's difficult, it can be something altogether different than what happened because of that. now it's a complete mess and a lot of names missing. and now the subsidies. well, and, and tara point about the names missing, jory. there is also the 1900000 hindus who are excluded from the list. before i come to you jury to ask you what is actually being done by the b j. p. lead authorities to actually help these people that are being evicted. i want to take a quick listen to and to just demonstrate what the environmental conditions and their erosion that we keep referring to in the floods. what the actual cost of that is, this is a clip that shows what's happening just on the other side of the river. ah, good. oh, who is your money?

we're really hurting. it is difficult to get food, drinking water and other essential items. many villages do not have their own boats, so people are suffering from the women. dory, people are suffering. people are being a victim. i want to ask you a very simple question. i hope you can answer me. what is the b j. p government or the, you know, whether the authorities locally doing to help these people they just law, these odd natural calamity and this is up there is no problem in the saw, right? because of which people are being actually, you know, they're not getting leaking on. they are getting dislocated from their own places. that's not at all our case, which is men made or any, you know, any body has got anything to do about it. but he is, i just want to clear one thing about the b. zippy sure physically is never targeting, they're not against them. mostly. you know, when it comes to eviction or that the i saw you know, that in the didn't is muslims, you know,

in this it is as long as muslims are all in favor of them. it should, they have never laid out. they have never gone against the government because they have come forward and you know, the look at alternatives that always been very little of the government. well, so the surgery, i have to interrupt you for one reason. one reason i'm just going to interrupt you for one reason. i appreciate the nuances about who supports who but one second one second up go column, please jury. you didn't answer my question. what is the b j. p government doing to help these families? this is something yeah, i 1st of all the, the, into the share. i'm always the chief off the state of the sab. he has already acknowledged the policy offer, lend policy in the us on, according to that, the lender, people who have been evicted, they will be given to echo of land for their own. you know, agriculture publicists. and you, it is, it is totally a rehabilitation program is going on with, from the government and not have to have that been given from central government also. and the chief of our escape doctor,

he meant the dishes are my as already and now not a big you just for this people. and in fact the, at the church which was done that was on gum and land and the people would actually be dislocated from there were actually just so it's families. so when it came to reality, yeah, over 20000 people. and that was all there surprised. right on that as well. well, it was not at all. well, jury injury, i do column. i'm going to come to you, but very quickly i want to go to you to where one of our commenters actually said crucial to ron, asking, are these evicted people getting judicial support as they don't have any representation? i am from a sam. are you providing? is the government providing judicial support very quickly? yes, of course. of course, of course, and i don't want to be given. i'm do column, you were disagreeing. you were disagreeing a lot with with, with what jury said,

what is your biggest point of contention? what is, what is to getting right? this is, this is, you know, when it made a big leap and a meek, 800 homes was dam released in a single day. and after doing dead was not not single then mr. collum, that not to say that. okay. okay. you are, you are a le while you're in a single day leave, continue lease lease. can you send your colleagues to come? i'm, we don't have time, please continue. and, and what i'm seeing is from that to each of the sit minister, he himself did what celebrating that his forces have for it all at dental or dental list. 800 homes debt to in legal. they look like and he has played one of the propaganda is a good many of you that you it was a few and you had you are the don't you a yeah, so read that and yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. so, so this intervene here, if you're, if you,

if you would allow me for just one second jury, do you think that kind of language in the tweets we have a tweet here, for example, from the chief minister. hm. monta, biswas sar. my saying, bob encroached by a legal settlers also referring, you know, to a lot of this language is very charge. do you think that's helping the situation jury? i don't understand what is of all the child that has a cold. there was a in dogwood, there had been a 5000 years old, she monday. and that said mother had been history. other than, and i don't think there is anything would have been charlotte or it has been the, you know, these are about the liberal so called liberals, or the hypocrites and the wall to go on the wall because positions and i call them a 3rd elements will always, you know, evoke a reward, the local people for such a such type of an issue. and today i have to say one thing, mr. i meant that when it comes to muslim being part, there is

a big use and cries in the, well, i didn't join it comes to bangladesh, where he knows that been why don't the people who are, you know, mr. george dory? like the last question, let's welcome to another comment that came in from both take a listen to this one. his 2016 wind up in the game for the past and fall off in the state. they have a eviction and the author do sub see you've been seen and working at the install for them to get it once the 7 days. if you did lose, their livelihood has facilities that education. children are sometimes supposed to get married, the army and the tires and boys become that i live in migrant a day and, and there might be a lot of places school, but that regions is really high, which can certainly
