At 9 pm IST tonight I will take your questions on the demolition of Muslim properties in India. This is Narendra Modi’s most brazen attempt at silencing critics and instilling fear in the 220 million persecuted minorities. It is a vindictive response of the Indian government that seeks to crush dissent and any sign of opposition . Ask me your questions, arguments, but please keep it civil.
Ok guys. This has been a great AMA. And frankly a very dignified and civilised approach to criticism and dissent. Hope the country was as democratic as this AMA. Shukriya, see you all on the other side
:D These filthy comments by bhakts have lost their power to sting, and had it not been for the fact that they are nauseating, they would have been almost funny. In any case, it shows the quality and character (or rather, the lack of it) of the people whom they represent and on whose behest they speak.
Good evening. I look forward to answering your questions. I shall try to answer as many questions to the best of my ability. Will appreciate civility in discourse. Tell me
I have been wanting to ask you these questions that are part of just one broader significant question. I hope that you see this and possibly reply to it too.
This haunts me throughout the day and I cannot sleep peacefully at night thinking about it. Ignoring it is obviously not an option, at least not a morally accepted one.
Coming to my question, it is so obvious that some citizens are being discriminated against by the governments on the basis of their religion and there is no immediate respite in sight. No one appears to be helpful, not even the mainstream media and the judiciary. So what can an ordinary citizen do immediately in these times? When are we going to see mass protests on the ground and on the streets by well-meaning individuals from all religions and backgrounds without the support of any political party? Is the change possible in the foreseeable future? Please give your opinion and guide me and many of us here. I'd be very thankful to you.
Also I am so sorry that I cannot become a paid subscriber yet due to some current financial problems. I promise that this is one of the top things on my to-do list and I'm going to do it as soon as I overcome these problems. This is the least one can do to help encourage the few sane, sensible, and honest voices left today in the country.
Always in awe of your brilliant work and ever-inspiring courage.
Thank you for your kind words sir. It is a depressing time for each one of us who has believed in the idea of India. There have been days when i have wanted to quit, wanted my family to leave. But that is a privileged position. A position not everyone can afford. Ordinary citizens are being intimidated when they set out to protest. But speaking up is always an option. Try to speak to at least one person everyday who is basking in this hate. Try to make him see through this, Use your social media to dispel fake news, get people to follow ethical media outlets
@Rana Ayyub Stop calling India an "Idea" - India is the world's oldest civilization that originated from Harappa & Mohenjo-daro, it is not an idea. It started in 3300 BCE and not after 1947 as you try to portray the same. Secondly, the Constitution of India says that "peaceful protest" is a fundamental right, neither "stone-pelting" nor "riots / damage to public or private property or human life".
Thank you for replying. Please don't address me as sir. We both are of around the same age. You may address me as Tarzan or DK.
I am already doing all that you have suggested. But it does not seem to be helping much, at least there are no visible changes yet. But I'll stick to these measures for sure. Bolna hi hai!
I have no love for BJP. But should one have no right to critique irrational beliefs of Islam about the prophet without risking one's throat? Isn't the Muslim anger as unjust as BJP's bulldozer?
First of all you have to establish your claims of the "irrational beliefs". Secondly, every society has topics that are sensitive and I mean EVERY. For Muslims it is their religion and especially the Prophet(S). And lastly, I invite you to know more about our faith and our Prophet(S) so that we could bridge our gaps😁
How do you then decide that any insult or affront to your Prophet is worthy of killing but Muslims mocking others’ faith is freedom of speech. Non-muslims don’t follow your prophet just like you don’t believe in their God(s). But respect has to mutual. No?
@Atik Deloliya 1. When you troll someone without any authentic and verifiable source / reference - it's a crime.
2. When you do the same with authentic and verifiable source / reference - it's a FACT.
What Nupur Sharma did falls under the #2 category. What Rana Ayyub, Arfa Khanum, Mohammed Zubair, Saba Naqvi, and others are doing falls under the #1 category.
Let me give you an example of irrational belief: Hanumanji flying carrying a mountain. Now check other religious beliefs. They're all irrational. But threat to cut throat if a particular faith is questioned is worrisome. This is not to defend BJP. They're enemies of India as we know it.
I have no love for BJP. But should one have no right to critique irrational beliefs of Islam about the prophet without risking one's throat? Isn't the Muslim anger as unjust as BJP's bulldozer?
hello - here is my question - why cant indian muslims protest peacefully without resorting to arson, stone pelting, maar-danga - why cant their protest be like the tamils who protested silently against jallikattu ban? Also do you approve of the demands to behead nupur sharma, made by certain sections of muslim society?
Dear Sir. Which sensible human would ever approve beheading another person. Islam says killing a human is killing the entire mankind. There is no place for this barbarism. Equally horrid are the threats some of us are getting for speaking up. My nieces, my 5 year old nephews picture has been put on social media, they want to kill him. Please understand that each one of us is fighting this hate every single day
There is a way to register your protests without going overboard. No person in their right mind appreciates arson and other such destructive acts done during protests. And I genuinely believe that those committing such acts and going against the prescribed rules of the land what should be dealt with severely as per the law. But -- and this a very important point -- a clear distinction should be made between these acts (which are morally, ethically, and legally wrong), and the issues behind these protests, which are 100% genuine. The ones behind these acts *must* be punished; however, these acts should not be used to undermine the underlying issue. That's whataboutery.
Hello Rana!! More power to you as always for the work you do.
Just can't fathom the fact how world leaders from developed countries buy into this "world's largest democracy" lie. Even recently the German govt gave in to their demands for no questions from the press. What are the issues you currently face when you try to confront the responsible for an interview or a press conference in India?
Never give up, Rana. All is not lost. There are scores of sensible people who support you :) Would be nice to see more pressure from international journalistic community on the Indian govt to get interviews from top leaders and discuss press freedom!!
With minorities being ridiculed with names such as Jihadis, Khalistanis, RiceBags etc, what is the most practical way in which minorities and majority can reconcile with each other?
And as the possibilities of a regime change are almost null, do you think something can be done to reverse minority hatred?
Amandeep. Muslims, Dalits, Sikhs, Adivasis, Christians in this country have been accorded the privilege of having to prove their patriotism to this country. They have been historically persecuted by almost every regime but the last eight years have been particularly devastating. It is time for minorities in the country to not be divided or be turned against each other. They need to understand that their unity is the only bulwark against the fascism upon us
When you are persecuted, you do not multiply like worms. 9%to 20%. Go and see Hindus in their own land of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Don't cry wolf. You can cheat Hindus but not Paramaatma. You betrayed Bharat Mata by breaking it apart into pieces on the ground of religion. Hypocrisy and Islam are not synonymous i hope.
You are absolutely mistaken , dalit sikh adivasi muslim are misnomer as all are indian citizen , all including one you are excluding . I grown up since 1971 Garibi Hatao , bees sutri karyakram , 1975 emergency , utouchable communal during 1999 AB Bajpai to 10 yrs of manmohan singh , how political correctness to appease the powerful ( money power, vote power , musle power ,Identity power ) lead to extreme corruption with arrogence and all citizens of all identity suffered , suffering of some is perpatual , sufferring is sometimes because of not changing the Goggle. Temporarily if we change goggle , things will look differrent favourable or not so favourable for individual identity . Qustion is ? you are expressing freely your views and worries without any one objecting or debating in undemocratic way is proof you and we are in constitutional democracy .
Article 19 (1) is bestowed to you. Every identity must read this article before using or call blesfamy for any culture with in international boundary of the India .
I am awair indian citizen and strongly against violent unconstitutional protest even if my faith ,my god or my gods messenger is name called or criticised. I need not to say I am for Congress or for Bjp . I am for betterment of my Nation , the pasport I carry.Passport value ,one must ask who is NRI ( nonpermanent ) irrespective of any identity including religious. Ms Rana Ayoub is free to express her views all over world in democratic way, indian constitution and indian state has duty to protect her right under article 19(1) . In India Every thing every protest must be civilised ,nonviolent ,open to negotiation and debatable. सर तन से जुदा or lyncing on the name of religion mentality is not sustainable irrespective of religion ,we indian citizen must realise and explains when ever opportunity arises to our literate or illiterate, dumbe or intelegent ,rich or poor fanatic or sensible fellow citizen.This is utmost priority of every indian citizen specially in todays vulnerable time when revenue Hungary media is opportunistic and move by emotions of popular narrative of the day and time.
1)How can we be so immoral in these delicate times that demand humanity the most?
2)Why this drastic drop in humanity from humans?
3)Where do we lose our religious teachings?
4)How do we forget our ancestral examples of brotherhood?
5)How can anyone choose humiliating someone or attack a specific religion upon their basic needs?
Can we just make our majority of Indian people answer these simple questions so that at least they try to understand the situation rigth now in India is nothing but a political drama to make them persecute minorities?
Is this even possible at this stage or we should wait for a regime change?
As long as you insult democratically elected govt under indian constitution as regime , you may wait pretty long time. Indian citizen must stop getting provoked and being used for undemocratic violent protest. Indian citizens must stop being fanatics , and respect fellow citizen right under constitution article 19(1) and must stop weekly threats to peaceful law abiding citizens .peace and harmony will prevail. Bad is bad good is good. And my belief majority is good citizens who will vote with free will and conscince irrespective of identity.
Rana what do you have to say about persecution if non Muslims in neighboring countries of India? Why do you never raise your voice when Muslims are in the wrong
How to counter, BJP RSS injustice towards the Muslims and dalits?
Since there’s no law and order in UP, if a particular community is being targeted and all the institutions are sold or working on BJP RSS instruction, how and where should a victim like Afreen Fatima go to ask justice??
Do you think, in this case people itself from the area should fight back if such brutal actions are taken against anyone of them? Unconstitutional acts?
Do you think people should get United like, if attack on one person house will be considered as it’s attack on entire community and all should give them back? Should fight with those who come along police to demolish any individuals house just because he/she raises her/his voices for justice
Very good thought process for speedy solution to your own created problem . Be sensible.
Its not About BJP or Opposition
, its about Indian citizens who are not fools any more. Same citizen Gave Majority To Nehruji, Indira Gandhi, 2 seats to Jansangh and 2 to BJP Bajpai Advani , Majority to Sonia lead UPA Twice. Think again intelligently with open mind . Truth always prevails sooner or letter . Varna based parties , secularism principled parties , communism ( never made mark except two states ) , language Identity based parties all must introspect thier real motive. You will get answer to your qustiion , Rana Ayoob may not provide you.
Unconstitutional protest is inviting unfortunately unconstitutional solution ( if property is legal ).
Don't you think pro feminist campaigns like My life My choice are limited to things like western clothing or when it suits them, so much is going on but National commission of Women Empowerment in India and other icons promoting such seems silent? Like in case of Karnataka veil Banned, in today's #Afreens case etc
a lot of feminists i know are speaking up. I can understand your frustration but this is the time to stand together with allies irrespective of differences. I can see that there is a minor change, people are waking up to the larger issues. Yes, our celebrities largely stick to safe topics and it has been a huge disappointment. We need to call out the hypocrisy but also try to empathise with their positions
How BJP became so powerful in India? This is surely a fact that it's popular but how a fascist party became so powerful in a liberal and progressive country?
Everyone wants Modi to speak up against the hate but with this deafening silence it just proves he's just a puppet PM and there's someone above him who's pulling the strings to maintain this communal disharmony. The country has gone to the dogs!! Why would modi or shah or nadda intervene in a process that is so convenient for them to win elections period?
This marks the end of the victim card. You can blame the government but not the people. Sanatanis are now more united than ever, and they will break you from the roots.
A wolf portrays that it is sheep in a country where their "minority" religion multiplied to the detriment of other religions including majority one. From 9% to 20% in last 60 years and Hindus from 93% to 76% percent. Christians from 3.9 % to 2.6 percent. Sikhism 2.7 percent to 1.7 percent. And u still cry the wolf of being persecuted in a land where they pay u for everything including free hadj, free ration, free madarsa fund. Thank them and help grow their only country in this world. U snatched and converted islamic Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Even your Allah will not pardon you for your sins
there must be a holocaust of muslims just like nazis did holocaust of jews .All muslims need to be sent to concentration camps .fuck muslims .your prophet mahomet was a pedophile.lawday ka prophet
Hi Rana. I'm really troubled by what is going on in our country right now and my heart goes out to those who have been impacted.
Wanted to understand from you:
1. Why we are not seeing popular lawyers, eminent personalities, knocking the doors of SC, or at least holding multiple press-conferences everyday to wake up our population. Most of our population (that watches the national media) has very different (false) perception of what is going on.
2. I don't expect anything from opposition - but, are they doing anything?
3. Would it be possible for journalists (like yourself) to collaborate with other independent journalists and digital media, to come on a wider platform, and try to present the proper narrative? I am really tired of some very sharp and educated folks believing in a lot of propaganda that is not true.
Mr Rajat , change your Goggle keep open constitutiinal democratic mindset and rise above the emotional identity specific cloud.my views about identity appeament and identity politics of polarisation. Please read if you wish for rethinking.

Rember and read constitution article 19 (1) right of every indian citizen within international boundary. Listen to Zakir Naik too to compare Nupur Sharma .and come to sense at least in Indian international boundary.
PM is not religious leader who will speak on every statement and counter statement , There is law which takes its action and courts to Pass Judgment. NOT TO FELLOW RELIGIOUS FAITHFUL DECLAIR सर तन से जुदा। At least not in Indian Federal Republic . Weekly threat of stone pelting must stop. All mutual provocation must stop.
Every citizen must drwa a boundary for civilizes debate. Misinterpretstion of scriptures for personal gains and desires must stop. Be rational as well as faithful to own God's. The Only solution.
Hi Rana. What Nupur sharma said about Ayesha and Prophet, is it correct or wrong? If it is wrong then please share any authentic source where people who don’t know the reality can understand. Because some sources says that it is true.
If my words had offended anyone, please forgive me🙏🏽
Yes, I can understand. Very sorry for what’s happening. But please be strong as always. I don’t know if you have, I think you need to have a very good legal support for all the abuses
Dear Bikash. Salam to Azamgarh. is nainsaafi ka ilzaam bhi aap hum par lagaayenge. Jin gareebon ke ghar tode jaa rahe hain, woh bhi hum jaise hain. Haad maas ke insaan
In गरीबो ने ston pelting ki hogi aur ghar illegal honge .unfortunate sequence of events. Ranaji you must do something on Thursday evening to make Friday peaceful. My sister advise as indian citizen .
Ok guys. This has been a great AMA. And frankly a very dignified and civilised approach to criticism and dissent. Hope the country was as democratic as this AMA. Shukriya, see you all on the other side

Your Indian sister went to other countries doing RR for internal issues

prophet was a rapist
Rana...i just want to convey you that i do pray for your wellbeing in TAHAJJUD including Mohhamad Zubair these days!
Randi ayyub
1)How can we be so immoral in these delicate times that demand humanity the most?
2)Why this drastic drop in humanity from humans?

As long as you insult democratically elected govt under indian constitution as regime , you may wait pretty long time. Indian citizen must stop getting provoked and being used for undemocratic violent protest. Indian citizens must stop being fanatics , and respect fellow citizen right under constitution article 19(1) and must stop weekly threats to peaceful law abiding citizens .peace and harmony will prevail. Bad is bad good is good. And my belief majority is good citizens who will vote with free will and conscince irrespective of identity.
Rana what do you have to say about persecution if non Muslims in neighboring countries of India? Why do you never raise your voice when Muslims are in the wrong
What is your take on Akrabuddin Owaisi who openly abused Hindu gods and why non of our muslims brother are speaking against it
Do you think the damage that has been caused is beyond redemption?
How to counter, BJP RSS injustice towards the Muslims and dalits?
Since there’s no law and order in UP, if a particular community is being targeted and all the institutions are sold or working on BJP RSS instruction, how and where should a victim like Afreen Fatima go to ask justice??
Do you think, in this case people itself from the area should fight back if such brutal actions are taken against anyone of them? Unconstitutional acts?
Do you think people should get United like, if attack on one person house will be considered as it’s attack on entire community and all should give them back? Should fight with those who come along police to demolish any individuals house just because he/she raises her/his voices for justice
Very good thought process for speedy solution to your own created problem . Be sensible.
Its not About BJP or Opposition
, its about Indian citizens who are not fools any more. Same citizen Gave Majority To Nehruji, Indira Gandhi, 2 seats to Jansangh and 2 to BJP Bajpai Advani , Majority to Sonia lead UPA Twice. Think again intelligently with open mind . Truth always prevails sooner or letter . Varna based parties , secularism principled parties , communism ( never made mark except two states ) , language Identity based parties all must introspect thier real motive. You will get answer to your qustiion , Rana Ayoob may not provide you.
Unconstitutional protest is inviting unfortunately unconstitutional solution ( if property is legal ).
Don't you think pro feminist campaigns like My life My choice are limited to things like western clothing or when it suits them, so much is going on but National commission of Women Empowerment in India and other icons promoting such seems silent?

How BJP became so powerful in India? This is surely a fact that it's popular but how a fascist party became so powerful in a liberal and progressive country?
How do you see, India after 5 years?
I wish sir that i could offer you my optimism. But then I would be denying the ground reality which is grim
Namaste everyone!
Namaste
Everyone wants Modi to speak up against the hate but with this deafening silence it just proves he's just a puppet PM and there's someone above him who's pulling the strings to maintain this communal disharmony. The country has gone to the dogs!! Why would modi or shah or nadda intervene in a process that is so convenient for them to win elections period?
Why is Modi becoming a Zionist?
What's the solution of this violation of judiciary and law? Someone has to come above this regime to teach and make it grounded.
Not only muslims even oppostion leaders under fear. each and
every citizen under fear , either its about their future life or lives.
If BJP remove fringe elements,there is leaders on that
As an Athiest/Agnostic i really find it appalling that Saad Ansari is left alone
This marks the end of the victim card. You can blame the government but not the people. Sanatanis are now more united than ever, and they will break you from the roots.

A wolf portrays that it is sheep in a country where their "minority" religion multiplied to the detriment of other religions including majority one. From 9% to 20% in last 60 years and Hindus from 93% to 76% percent. Christians from 3.9 % to 2.6 percent. Sikhism 2.7 percent to 1.7 percent. And u still cry the wolf of being persecuted in a land where they pay u for everything including free hadj, free ration, free madarsa fund. Thank them and help grow their only country in this world. U snatched and converted islamic Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Even your Allah will not pardon you for your sins
There is no question only prayers for our brave bold Journalist More Power to you keep shining
I hope peace will return to every muslim house mam..

Hi Rana. I'm really troubled by what is going on in our country right now and my heart goes out to those who have been impacted.
Wanted to understand from you:
1. Why we are not seeing popular lawyers, eminent personalities, knocking the doors of SC, or at least holding multiple press-conferences everyday to wake up our population. Most of our population (that watches the national media) has very different (false) perception of what is going on.
2. I don't expect anything from opposition - but, are they doing anything?
3. Would it be possible for journalists (like yourself) to collaborate with other independent journalists and digital media, to come on a wider platform, and try to present the proper narrative? I am really tired of some very sharp and educated folks believing in a lot of propaganda that is not true.
Thank you.
Mr Rajat , change your Goggle keep open constitutiinal democratic mindset and rise above the emotional identity specific cloud.my views about identity appeament and identity politics of polarisation. Please read if you wish for rethinking.
You are absolutely mistaken , dalit sikh adivasi muslim are misnomer as all are indian citizen , all including one you are excluding . I grown up since 1971 Garibi Hatao , bees sutri karyakram , 1975 emergency , utouchable communal during 1999 AB Bajpai to 10 yrs of manmohan singh , how political correctness to appease the powerful ( money power, vote power , musle power ,Identity power ) lead to extreme corruption with arrogence and all citizens of all identity suffered , suffering of some is perpatual , sufferring is sometimes because of not changing the Goggle. Temporarily if we change goggle , things will look differrent favourable or not so favourable for individual identity . Qustion is ? you are expressing freely your views and worries without any one objecting or debating in undemocratic way is proof you and we are in constitutional democracy .
Article 19 (1) is bestowed to you. Every identity must read this article before using or call blesfamy for any culture with in international boundary of the India .
I am awair indian citizen and strongly against violent unconstitutional protest even if my faith ,my god or my gods messenger is name called or criticised. I need not to say I am for Congress or for Bjp . I am for betterment of my Nation , the pasport I carry.Passport value ,one must ask who is NRI ( nonpermanent ) irrespective of any identity including religious. Ms Rana Ayoub is free to express her views all over world in democratic way, indian constitution and indian state has duty to protect her right under article 19(1) . In India Every thing every protest must be civilised ,nonviolent ,open to negotiation and debatable. सर तन से जुदा or lyncing on the name of religion mentality is not sustainable irrespective of religion ,we indian citizen must realise and explains when ever opportunity arises to our literate or illiterate, dumbe or intelegent ,rich or poor fanatic or sensible fellow citizen.This is utmost priority of every indian citizen specially in todays vulnerable time when revenue Hungary media is opportunistic and move by emotions of popular narrative of the day and time.
oye randi
randi ayyub tujhe shoot kar denge
I oppose to buldozer but why we can't condemn stone pelting ... there are so many ways to protest .
Who do you think, the faces who can compete BJP in Opposition when all the institutions and agencies are controlled by BJP & RSS??
Its not About BJP or Opposition
, its about Indian citizens who are not fools any more. Same citizen Gave Majority To Nehruji, Indira Gandhi, 2 seats to Jansangh and 2 to BJP Bajpai Advani , Majority to Sonia lead UPA Twice. Think again intelligently with open mind . Truth always prevails sooner or letter . Varna based parties , secularism principled parties , communism ( never made mark except two states ) , language Identity based parties all must introspect thier real motive. You will get answer to your qustiion , Rana Ayoob may not provide you.
What stops opposition leaders to talk openly and clearly on Muslim oppression? What do you think?
If there is one ???
Rana ayyub randi hai
Chup randi ayyub
Bless your parents for giving you a good education to abuse someone in English. Your mom failed to pass some dignity to you
Muslims need to be exterminated
Don't you think Ma'am, people should not have used stones for damaging public properties. It is indirectly affecting our country.
PM silence on Nupur Sharma remark and country situations!!
How do you take this as we are a democratic country??
Rember and read constitution article 19 (1) right of every indian citizen within international boundary. Listen to Zakir Naik too to compare Nupur Sharma .and come to sense at least in Indian international boundary.
PM is not religious leader who will speak on every statement and counter statement , There is law which takes its action and courts to Pass Judgment. NOT TO FELLOW RELIGIOUS FAITHFUL DECLAIR सर तन से जुदा। At least not in Indian Federal Republic . Weekly threat of stone pelting must stop. All mutual provocation must stop.
Every citizen must drwa a boundary for civilizes debate. Misinterpretstion of scriptures for personal gains and desires must stop. Be rational as well as faithful to own God's. The Only solution.
Hi Rana. What Nupur sharma said about Ayesha and Prophet, is it correct or wrong? If it is wrong then please share any authentic source where people who don’t know the reality can understand. Because some sources says that it is true.
If my words had offended anyone, please forgive me🙏🏽
What is your take on Akrabuddin Owaisi who openly abused Hindu gods and why non of the muslims are taking stand on that topic
Why not u settle in pakistan or ur belonging cluture country 😔
Dear Sonu, i chose to believe that beyond this facade of anonymity, you are a decent human
It's a derogatory comment. Better you leave the country.
Why the Courts are silent? Are we taking serious steps to address the Court?
Dear Riaz. While I have great faith in the Indian judiciary, i am turning cynical every single day
Yes, I can understand. Very sorry for what’s happening. But please be strong as always. I don’t know if you have, I think you need to have a very good legal support for all the abuses
Aap jitna tweet stone pelting k baad krti h . agar etna hi tweet Friday k pahle krti peacefull protest krne k liye to sayad aaisa nhi hota...
I am from your home town azamgarh.
Dear Bikash. Salam to Azamgarh. is nainsaafi ka ilzaam bhi aap hum par lagaayenge. Jin gareebon ke ghar tode jaa rahe hain, woh bhi hum jaise hain. Haad maas ke insaan
In गरीबो ने ston pelting ki hogi aur ghar illegal honge .unfortunate sequence of events. Ranaji you must do something on Thursday evening to make Friday peaceful. My sister advise as indian citizen .
