Today, as I read the news about the brutal murder of innocent Hindu youth Ankit Sharma during the 2020 riots in Delhi’s Chand Bagh area and the conviction of Aam Aadmi Party’s former councillor Tahir Hussain, it fills me with anger, pain, and a deep understanding. Ground reports by the media expose the entire matter.

What happened that day?

During the 2020 Delhi riots, Ankit Sharma was returning home from duty. He put down his bag, didn’t even drink tea, and was caught by a Muslim mob. Petrol bombs were thrown from Tahir Hussain’s rooftop, vehicles were set on fire, and bricks and stones were rained down. Ankit was dragged near Tahir’s house, stabbed repeatedly with knives, murdered, and his body was thrown into a drain. Six years later, the court convicted Tahir Hussain along with five others. But did it really need to take this much time? And does punishing just a few people really solve the problem?

The ground report from Chand Bagh reveals that Hindus are still living under a shadow of fear. People are selling their houses and leaving. The nameplates still show Hindu names — Sita Niwas, Shri Ram Niwas — but inside, Abdul and Salim now live there. The area is slowly turning into a Muslim-dominated locality. Hindu neighbors say they no longer trust Muslims. Friendship is out of the question; they are even scared to talk.

The truth from the perspective of a former Muslim

Those who say “this is politics” or “only a few miscreants were involved” are either lying or deceiving themselves. The roots of hatred and violence against kafirs (non-Muslims) run deep in the teachings of Islam. The Quran and Hadith repeatedly talk about jihad, killing, and Islamic dominance. People like Tahir Hussain are not alone — they are products of an ideology that has been nurtured in mosques, madrasas, and homes.

I have seen firsthand how the narrative of “Muslim victims” is created, while atrocities against Hindu families are ignored. Ankit Sharma was no criminal. He was an Intelligence Bureau officer from a Hindu family, living for his family. But for the jihadi mob, he was just a “kafir.”

Women like Rajwati are right when they say — “These people are butchers.” If slaughtering goats is a daily routine in their homes, where will humanity come from? Hindus observe fasts like Ekadashi even for accidental killing of living beings, but these people do not hesitate to kill even their friends.

Migration and demographic change

Chand Bagh is just one example. The same pattern is being repeated in many areas of India — first violence, then fear, then migration, and finally a Muslim-majority area. Hindus are quietly selling their homes and moving to safer places. Security has improved after the BJP government came to power, but the roots are still deep.

Until Muslim society questions the roots of Islam — Sharia, jihad, and hatred for kafirs — people like Tahir Hussain will continue to be born. Moderate Muslims remain silent because speaking up would break the Islamic narrative, and they risk being seen as anti-Islam. In the religion, there is a provision for the death penalty for those who are anti-Islam or “apostates” (those who leave Islam). I left, which is why I am speaking.

Conclusion: It is time to awaken

The murder of Ankit Sharma is not an isolated incident. It is the result of Islamic extremism. As an ex-Muslim, I say — Islam cannot be reformed; the solution is to understand it and leave it. Hindu society must remain vigilant. Migration alone will not solve the problem. Change can only come through awareness, strong law and order, and a pro-Hindu government.

Tahir Hussain should be given the death penalty. But the real fight is ideological. The more Hindu society understands Islam and unites, the better.

Jai Hind.
