Dear Reader,

Over the past few weeks, Scroll has published a series of hard-hitting articles on the growing marginalisation of Muslims in Assam.

We reported on a coordinated attempt to disenfranchise thousands of voters through forged forms, even speaking to BJP workers whose names were misused to fuel the complaints. We documented Muslims being given 24 hours’ notice before being forced across borders, and highlighted how rhetoric from the state’s highest office is making a mockery of our Constitution.

This isn’t just a news cycle for us. These reports are part of a sustained, years-long commitment to uncovering the truth in Assam at a time when most mainstream media is shying away.

Journalism this deep is expensive, time-consuming and often risky. We don’t answer to corporate giants or political masters – we answer to you.

If you believe that questioning power and amplifying silenced voices is essential to a democracy, we ask you to become a member. Independent journalism survives only when readers pay for it.

Regards,
Team Scroll
