The article highlights the alarming trend of the Indian government appropriating property held by Muslims under the Waqf Amendment Act. This legislation allows for the confiscation of properties, such as a family bungalow previously dedicated to charitable work, without due process or notice. The article emphasizes how this impacts the community’s access to ancestral lands linked to their legacy and religious practices. Bureaucrats can declare these properties government-owned with little recourse for affected families, illustrating a shift away from foundational principles of ownership and community support.
The Waqf Amendment Act is not merely an issue of property; it fundamentally alters the principles of ownership and due process for Indian Muslims.
A new law, with ambiguous provisions, allows bureaucrats to arbitrarily confiscate properties intended for community service, leaving families powerless and disenfranchised.
