💨 Abstract

Violent protests erupted in Murshidabad over the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, which alters the management of Muslim religious endowments. The law, aimed at transparency, is seen by critics as a threat to community autonomy and a tool for state control. The conflict highlights tensions over land, identity, and federalism, with the West Bengal government opposing the central law.
