Abstract

The article "Razing Hell" from Foreign Policy discusses the use of bulldozers as a symbol of divisive and violent retributive justice in India, particularly targeting Muslims under the guise of governance. This practice, known as "bulldozer justice," has been endorsed by political leaders like Yogi Adityanath and Narendra Modi, leading to concerns raised by organizations like Amnesty International. The weaponization of bulldozers reflects a larger trend of Hindu-nationalist politics in India, deepening societal divides and threatening the position of minorities. Despite recent judicial criticism of extrajudicial demolitions, the impact of bulldozer justice on Indian society is likely irreversible. [Extracted from the article]
