It once had 55% Hindus & 44% Mμslims (1872 census).
Migration from Bdesh changed demographics to Mμslim majority (66% in 2011).
No Hindu won since 1971.
Today they elect a man responsible for 2007 riots
A thread on the voting pattern in border districts adjoining Bangladesh.
These districts have experienced a significant demographic influx due to illegal Mμslim immigration from Bangladesh and high M growth rate.
Due to this illegal Mμslim immigration, Hindus have been fleeing
It once had 55% Hindus & 44% Mμslims (1872 census).
Migration from Bdesh changed demographics to Mμslim majority (66% in 2011).
No Hindu won since 1971.
Today they elect a man responsible for 2007 riots
Today he wins this seat.
Ironically, no Hindu even contested. Even BJP fielded a Mμslim ex CPM candidate
https://t.co/I3Fv1uxKwh
The case was hurriedly declared an unrelated property feud by the ruling state administration.
The same ruling state party which withdrew riot charges against Idris Ali & gave him a ticket
No Hindu candidate ever won in Raninagar.
No Hindu candidate even contested the seat in this election.
Even after BJP fielded a Mμslim candidate, it could hardly get 10% of the votes.
Abdul Soumik Hossain of Trinamool won
This place and its district administration celebrated independence with Pakistani flags in 1947.
No Hindu has ever won this seat.
Naimot Sheikh of TMC comfortably won today
https://t.co/P7EZyF6fpH
There was a huge influx of illegal immigrants here since independence.
No Hindu has ever won this seat since 1972.
Abdur Razzak who was formerly from CPI(M) contested this ticket from TMC and won this seat today.
No Hindu has ever won this seat.
Even after BJP fielded a Mμslim candidate, it could hardly get 5% of the votes.
No Hindu has contested this seat in this election and Jafikul Islam of TMC won comfortably
Murshidabad census 2011.
But there is something the district census does not tell us.
With decrease in population share, the Hindus are experiencing complete political marginalization
Of course. What else but têrrorism. It is a package.
In Murshidabad last November, 11 Al Qaeda têrrorists were arrested by NIA.
This is the state today of "border districts"

Of course . The Sharia courts.
A Hindu man was beheaded by the order of a sharia court in Murshidabad because he fell in love with and married a Muslim girl.

They also had a child.
He concealed his identity as "Munnawar Shaikh".
But he was summoned to Sharia court. He was questioned and his identity was discovered. He was ordered to be beheaded.
https://t.co/rLMsyFlwNh
This district witnessed huge illegal immigration from Bangladesh.
Result?
The Mμslim population increased from 36% in 1961 to 51% in 2011.
Hindu population share decreased from 63% to 48%
Malda is now a Mμslim majority district
Sujapur is a seat in Malda. There has been illegal immigration from Bangladesh & demographic change
No Hindu won this seat since 1962.
No Hindu contested this time.
Even as BJP fielded a Mμslim candidate, they could hardly poll 6% of votes.
There has been a migration of Hindus out of this place. The Hindu population here has decreased to 31% now.
Again, Tajmul Hossain of TMC won this seat.
Even BJP fielded M candidate who eventually lost.

India and Israel. Hindus and Jews.
This thread is about the history of the mutual interaction and relation between two of the oldest extent civilizations of the world.
We will also look at how appeasement politics alienated our ally and affected our own international position
The earliest trade contact between Hebrews and Hindus could have dated back to the era of David and Solomon.
"The king had trading ships at sea along with ships of Hiram. Every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons"
Bible( Kings 10.22)
According to the Old Testament, Ophir was the name of the place famous for its wealth. Solomon traded gold, silver, sandalwood, pearls, ivory, apes, and peacocks
Modern scholars have identified Ophir with Abhira kingdom of western India

But the first large scale migration of Jewish refugees to India was after Roman destruction of Jerusalem.
Indian Jewish tradition says first wave of Jewish refugees landed on Kerala coast at Kodungallur in 70 CE.
Painting from Paradesi Synagogue(Mattanchery) depicts the scene
The Hindu Maharaja of Kodungallur cordially received the Jewish refugees.
He granted them land, freedom of life & freedom to practice religion.
Painting from Paradesi Synagogue depicts the king welcoming Jewish refugees.
The king is with full entourage bearing colored parasols

This is THEFT!
Indians had Algebra BEFORE Mμslim prophet & religion was even born.
Here is Bakhshali Manuscript dating back to 3rd century CE. It is an Algebraic treatise. Have you anything like this from the Arabian desert? No, you simply plagiarized Algebra from Indians! https://t.co/cWXRNYMgDt
The Bakhshali manuscript, which has been carbon dated to 3rd century CE, is an ancient Hindu treatise on Arithmetic and Algebra.
The Algebraic problems deal with simultaneous equations, quadratic equations, arithmetic
geometric progressions & quadratic indeterminate equations.
Bakhshali isn't earliest Indian Algebraic treatise. Early Algebra is found in Shulba Sutras dating back to at least 800 BC. Traditional Algebra reached its pinnacle in the works of Aryabhata & Bhaskara.
What makes Bakhshali special is it offers mathematical proof to its theories
It is surprising to see that even after the ancient Indian algebraic treatise has been carbon dated to 3rd century CE by Oxford, they persist with "oh we invented Algebra. It is Halal".
A brief examination of the origins of "Halal Algebra" follows

The earliest work of "Arabic Algebra" is the "Al-Kitāb Al-Jabr wal-muqābala" by Al Khwarizmi. The term "Algebra" comes from this book ("Al Jabr").
Before writing his treatise, Al Khwarizmi visited India. His book is a plagiarism from Indian Mathematics and an obvious one at that
