As assembly elections approach in Bihar, the Election Commission’s revision of the voter list has resulted in the deletion of nearly 65 lakh names. An India Today investigation in Saxena village, Araria district, reveals the struggle of the most vulnerable, particularly the Musahar community, who are navigating a bureaucratic maze. Many, like Pinky Devi, are illiterate and unaware of the process to verify their names on the electoral rolls, a document intrinsically linked to their survival and government schemes. The report captures the chaos, with villagers fearing their identities have been erased. Highlighting the core issue, one person stated, "We are residents for the government, and the government wants proof from us, but we don’t have any proof." The investigation uncovers significant anomalies, including multiple voter entries for the same person and numerous individuals from different castes listed under a single address, raising questions about the process.
