The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
This year, two massive waves of floods hit the state of Assam, India, as the rains and storms were heavier than usual. The flood caused significant damage and the death of 192 people. Amid such devastation, yet another anti-Muslim conspiracy theory became a heated topic of discussion. The "Flood Jihad" conspiracy claims that the Muslim community of Assam is responsible for the disastrous floods by way of purposefully sabotaging local embankments and flood protection mechanisms. Four Muslim men were accused and arrested as the conspiracy theory became viral on social media platforms. On July 3rd, Nazir Hussain Laskar, a construction worker that had worked for more than a decade on the state's anti-flood projects, was arrested by police. According to the authorities, an embankment constructed on the Barak river to protect the nearby cities from floods was tampered with by Laskar. Even though the investigation had no evidence to accuse Laskar, he was detained for nearly 20 days on suspicion before being released on bail. Even after his release, Laskar has to maintain a low profile because he is afraid of being lynched by an angry mob. Nirmalya Choudhary, associate professor at the Jamsetji Tata Institute of Disaster Studies in Mumbai, stated, "Some of it [the flooding] could also be human-induced. ...There were instances where people deliberately breached the embankment so that the water would move out and would not flood their area," but he emphasized that this was done for pragmatic, not communal, reasons.
