The data raises questions about the claims made by sections of the political establishment and the right-wing ecosystem that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is primarily aimed at identifying illegal immigrants, particularly alleged Bangladeshi Muslim immigrants. If the figures are any indication, the number of people marked as Not Indian Citizen in Karnataka is small, and Muslims account for less than one-tenth of the entries in this category. Hindus, meanwhile, account for more than four-fifths of the total.

Historian Ramachandra Guha questions the Karnataka government’s restrictions on protests at Bengaluru’s Town Hall.
“Just two weeks ago, the CM was demanding the right to protest on Delhi’s streets for Congressmen, while denying the same right to people in the state he governs,” Guha said.
He called for designated protest spaces such as Town Hall, Gandhi statue and Maurya Circle to be restored, arguing that they are essential to democratic functioning.

Three Arrested for Murder After Victim Is Run Over by Car
Three persons Ajay, Sajal and Bijan Roy have been arrested for murdering a man by deliberately ramming a car into him and dragging him for 100–150 metres on Hosur Service Road.
According to Electronic City police, the incident occurred around 1.50 am on October 21 near Ganesh Temple in Pragathi Nagar. The victim and his friend were crossing the road when a white Maruti Swift Dzire approached at high speed.
When the complainant gestured to the driver to slow down, the car occupants allegedly stopped and assaulted him. When his friend intervened, the accused allegedly hit him with the car and dragged him for 100–150 metres before abandoning him on Hosur Service Road.
The severely injured victim was admitted to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries at around 5.16 pm on October 22.
Following an investigation, police took three suspects into custody at around 10.30 pm on October 24. They were produced before a court on October 25 and remanded to judicial custody.
Police said one more person allegedly involved in the crime is absconding, and efforts are underway to trace and arrest him.
The operation was conducted under the supervision of senior officers of the Electronic City police division.

EXCLUSIVE: India’s biggest news publishers including Ambani's Network18, Adani's NDTV, Indian Express, Times Internet & others mount the most high-profile challenge yet to Modi’s privacy law, warning it would “render investigative journalism a benign and neutered recorder of events.”
DNPA (@publishers_news) has taken the law to the Supreme Court. They argue it would trample investigative work and let New Delhi identify journalists’ sources.
The provisions “constitute pre-censorship which is anathema to any democracy worth its name,” the group’s 698-page filing says.
The key concerns:
🔹 Consent: requiring a journalist to notify the subject of an investigation and seek consent “would allow that subject to destroy evidence, intimidate witnesses”
🔹 Erasure: people can withdraw consent and demand their data be erased, which the group says could force publishers to unpublish or heavily redact news reports
🔹 Sources: a “nakedly unguided” power to demand information that “can extend to privileged communications in possession of a reporter or the informant”
In a letter to the government, the group said India “has chosen to grant broad exemptions to the state, while failing to extend any corresponding protection to the press.”

A year ago, #SulemanPathan was lynched by a mob that included his closest Hindu friends in Maharashtra’s Jamner.
The Supreme Court had recommended speedy six-month trials in such cases.
A year later, most of the accused are out on bail and the trial is yet to begin. The family faces threats and setbacks. Its hopes for justice are dissipating.

BRAZIL PRESIDENT LULA EXPOSING THE TRUTH:
“The invasion of Iraq was a LIE. Where are the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein supposedly had? They were never found.
The invasion by France and England in Libya was another LIE that caused enormous damage at that moment in our history. The invasion and the genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza is another very big LIE
And now the bombing of Israel against Lebanon on what pretext? And now the invasion by the United States against Iran on what pretext?”
