Why A 79-Year-Old Former Police Officer & Dalit Human Rights Defender Faces Attempted Murder Charges

After a protest for land rights in Gorakhpur on 10 October 2023, the Uttar Pradesh police arrested 10 activists, mostly Dalit, including Sarwan Ram Darapuri despite little evidence of any overt violence at the gathering.

Anti-Pollution Norms & State Policies Cripple UP’s Leather Industry, Pushing Muslim Livelihoods To The Brink

With de facto and de jure marginalisation of Uttar Pradesh’s Muslims after 2014, when chief minister Yogi Adityanath of the BJP came to power, one result has been the industrial decline of predominantly Muslim-owned and employed businesses across the state. One such important business hub is the leather industry, concentrated in the city of Kanpur and nearby Unnao. In the second of a two-part series, Article14 analyses the socio-economic consequences of anti-cow slaughter laws and discriminatory policies against the leather industry in India’s most populous state.

How Majoritarian Policies in UP & Maharashtra Sent Meat Industries Into Decline, Ended Thousands Of Jobs

Curbs on the meat trade—from infrastructure requirements to a flood of paperwork—tightened cow-slaughter laws, vigilante attacks and arrests, including under the draconian National Security Act, have hit livelihoods of thousands, including butchers, meat-sellers, workers and traders, the majority Muslim, according to the findings of a six-month study conducted in five cities in UP and Maharashtra, India’s two largest meat-exporting states, during 2021 and 2022.
