    A 10-minute-long video of a brutal lynching that emerged recently on Indian social media has shocked Indian Muslims. The footage shows a group of men beating a 22-year-old Muslim man, Tabrez Ansari, in the eastern state of Jharkhand. The crowd forced him to shout "Jai Shri Ram" (Hail Lord Ram) — a slogan widely used by Hindu hard-liners — as he was tied to a pole and then severely beaten.

    The Jharkhand state under BJP ruling is a most lawless state in India. The present situation which is heading for state assembly elections is preparing for the ground for BJP return using 'Jungle Raj' is not secret affairs.

    17 of 44 people lynched between May 2015-December 2018 were killed in Jharkhand. Christians become a target for attacks in tribal Jharkhand. In 2016 murder of a Lutheran minister is anti-Christian violence in India's tribal-dominated state.
    Buoyed by a recent anti-conversion bill, the RSS and the BJP may well see the tribals as a pool of potential leaders. Any person found guilty of conversion through force or allurement, states the law passed in August, will be liable for punishment that includes a jail term of three years and a fine of Rs 50,000. In a state with 27% tribal population and 4.3% Christian population.

    While Kashmir under siege, the reality of the Jarkhand is not far from the valley. The cold-blooded murder of three-year-old before the eyes of the mother is the most heinous human right violation.
