26/11 Probe — Why Judiciary Also Failed? (with DVD)
There was quite a flutter in the country, especially in the camps of the IB and right-wing groups, when the author of this book, S.M. Mushrif, in his first book, Who Killed Karkare?, smashed the IB and Police theory of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case and offered a more convincing alternative theory. In this new book, he comes back to narrate as to how the IB, in order to prove its false theory, not only interfered in the investigations of the case at every stage, but also employed its tremendous clout and, with the help of a section of the media and the Police, successfully pulled it through the corridors of the courts and ultimately kicked it to its final destination, i.e., the gallows. The book also describes the shrewd moves on the part of the IB to scuttle all attempts to get the case reinvestigated. The author has expressed his serious concern over the unbridled powers being enjoyed by the IB, an extra-constitutional authority, to the extent of influencing almost all our constitutional institutions. However, he has ended the book on an optimistic note — pinning his hopes on the judiciary.

Scapegoating a minority—How Covid19 was weaponized against the Indian Muslim community
“Muslim-bashing is the main election winning mantra of the BJP ruling India since May 2014. Maligning and discrimination against Muslims, including lynching of hapless Muslims, became a routine affair during these years.
Prime Minister Modi’s strict control of the media, purchase of major TV channels by his oligarch friends and creation of a huge army of social media workers, spreading hate 24×7 against the Muslim community, further worsened the situation.
The Covid19 pandemic in 2020 was a bonanza for these forces to malign the whole Indian Muslim community which was accused of spreading the pandemic as part of a diabolical plan. This study covers some aspects of this hateful chapter in our recent history.”

The Kanwar Yatra 2025—Victmisation of Muslims by weaponizing a festival
“Kanwar Yatra is an annual Hindu pilgrimage observed in parts of North India. Each year, during the month of Savan (July–August), devotees walk barefoot to collect Ganga water from sacred sites and carry it back to Shiva temples in various localities to perform Abhishek, the ritual bathing of the shivalingams kept in temples.
From a solemn and peaceful annual pilgrimage undertaken by thousands, it has now evolved into an event involving millions thanks to the involvement in recent years of Hindutva elements who use it for consolidation of their votebank and show their concern for Hindus causes. As a result, once a quiet, introspective act of faith, driven by piety and penance, has increasingly become a raucous, socio-political event marked by violence, political patronage, and communal polarization, and exclusion of non-Hindus from use of roads and closure of Muslim-owned shops and eateries on the pilgrimage routes. This report studies the issues related to the yatra in 2025.”
