India, a country with 84% of Hindu, and only 14% Muslim, But Our ruling government portrays Hindu victimization in India. Before 2014 India’s major concerns were poverty, development, economic development, GDP etc… But now what is the situation of current India, the economy has continued to worsen, and unemployment and poverty have risen at a high level. But. BJP is concentrating Hindu-Muslim dirty politics to make the prominent issues keep under hiding and win the election by polarising the campaigns.

For making Hindu Muslim issue on the fire, they are creating Love Jihad, Slaughter of cows etc… BJP ruling states already implemented laws, states such as Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Other Indian states – Haryana, Karnataka and Assam – have said that they are planning to bring in similar anti-conversion laws. Muslim hawkers and workers have come under increasing attack from Hindu extremist groups calling for a boycott of Muslim businesses. (Bangalore oriented entrepreneur Mustafa’s incident)

Now-a-days Indian social media have trend of hiding extremist Hindu faces calling for the lynching of Muslims. Various reasons they find to act against Muslims, in the name of transporting cattle, or in company with Hindu women. Recently many videos have gone viral in social media. In March, a 14-year-old Muslim boy who had entered a Hindu temple to drink water was violently assaulted. Sometimes without any reasons someone can be attacked, Now India has changed like that for their own people. Once Modi himself said in his speech on election rallies that “creating violence can be identified by their clothes”

Narendra Modi and Yogi Adithyanath

Another biggest argument against muslim in the name of Muslim population in India. It is also announced by the chief minister of India’s biggest state Uttar Pradesh. And they implemented a Two child policy also. And definitely some followers will be there to the Chief minister according to the ruling political future situation of the Indian state. Assam also introduced the same law. But when we check the fact it is simple that muslim population rate of India has decreaesed.

Let’s check the data of Indian muslim has affected in India.

According to the news of Hindustan Times, 86% Muslims killed in India due to cow related violence since 2010, means 32 of the 63 incidents are of cow related issues until 2017. In this 97% attacks are after Modi came to power.
“If you look at official data, there were 160 Hindus among the 200 people who were lynched. People of all faiths were targeted,” he said, but did not give details of where the data could be found. India does not gather such data.
In 2019, a fact-checker website that counted “hate crimes” in India reported that more than 90% of victims in the past 10 years were Muslims.

2 days ago in Tripura Man beaten to death for allegedly stealing a cow in the Kamal Nagar village under the Sonamura sub-division of Tripura’s Sepahijala district. A senior police officer who does not want to be named told ET, “Three cattle smugglers entered the state from Bangladesh. These persons barged inside the house of Litan Paul to steal cows. The owner caught one-person and the others managed to escape.”

On Oct. 2, Gandhi’s birthday was celebrated with much fanfare as the International Day of Non-Violence. Two new books on his assassination in 1948 were launched. In Karnataka, meanwhile, a 25-year-old Muslim man was found beheaded for his affair with a Hindu girl, allegedly by a local Hindu vigilante group.

13.August.2021 :- Afsar Ahmad, a 45-year-old Kanpur-based e-rickshaw driver, says his daughter, 7, has paraded through the streets of Kanpur, a city in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, as his crying daughter begged the mob to stop hitting him. His attackers asked him to chant “Hindustan Zindabad” or “Long Live India” and “Jai Shri Ram” or “Victory to Lord Ram” – a popular greeting that’s been turned into a murder cry by Hindu lynch mobs in recent years.


23.August. 2021 :- After few days only a Muslim bangle-seller being slapped, kicked and punched by a Hindu mob in Indore, a city in the central state of Madhya Pradesh. The attackers could be heard abusing Tasleem Ali and telling him to stay away from Hindu areas in future. In a police complaint, he later alleged that he had been “beaten by five-six men who hurled communal slurs at him for selling bangles in a Hindu-dominated area and robbed him of money, his phone and some documents

In March, a 14-year-old Muslim boy who had entered a Hindu temple to drink water was violently assaulted

In June, a vendor was beaten up in Delhi for trying to sell fruit in a Hindu locality.

History of Violence against Muslim in India

1964 Kolkata riots :- Riots in Calcutta leave more than 100 dead
More than 100 people have been killed following Hindu-Muslim rioting in the Indian city of Calcutta. Over 7,000 people have also been arrested and 438 injured in the clashes which have spread to the surrounding districts. The Indian Government claims that the trouble in Calcutta has taken “a huge toll of life.” A 24 hour curfew has been extended to five areas of the city occupied by police officers following arson attacks and looting against Muslims. The armed forces and police have also been given orders to “shoot to kill” by the government in any cases where Hindus are seen to be attacking Muslims. So far more than 70,000 Muslims have fled their homes in the city, and 55,000 are sleeping in the open under army protection. Relief organisations are struggling to provide food, water and sanitation to large groups of refugees.

1983 Nellie massacre :- Nellie massacre and ‘citizenship’: When 1,800 Muslims
were killed in Assam in just 6 hours. Assam has witnessed violence on many occasions since Independence over the issue of identifying ‘foreigners’, or illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Even today, there is a political uproar over the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2016, both dealing with the ‘outsider’. The most violent protests on this count broke out on 18 February 1983, and culminated in a horrific bloodbath known as the Nellie massacre. Nearly 2,000 Muslims were slaughtered by a mob in just six hours.

1969 to 1989 Gujarat riots :- When Congress Government Helped an anti-Muslim
Massacre. The 1969 Gujarat riots refer to the communal violence between Hindus and Muslims during September–October 1969, in Gujarat, India. The violence was Gujarat’s first major riot that involved massacre, arson and looting on a large scale. It was the most deadly Hindu-Muslim violence since the partition of India in 1947, and remained so until the 1989 Bhagalpur violence. According to the official figures, 660 people were killed, 1074 people were injured and over 48,000 lost their property. Unofficial reports claim as high as 2000 deaths. The Muslim community suffered the majority of the losses. Out of the 512 deaths reported in the police complaints, 430 were Muslims. Property worth 42 million rupees was destroyed during the riots, with Muslims losing 32 million worth of property. A distinctive feature of the violence was the attack on Muslim chawls by their Dalit Hindu neighbours who had maintained peaceful relations with them until this point

1987 Hashimpura massacre :- It has been 30 years since the night of 22 May, 1987 when about 45 Muslim men from Hashimpura, a settlement in Meerut, were rounded up and packed into the rear of a truck of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC). On that night of May 1987, 42 of those on board the truck were killed in two massacres in neighbouring Ghaziabad district. One along the Upper Ganga canal near Muradnagar, the other along the Hindon canal in Makanpur, on the border with Delhi — in what have since come to be known as the Hashimpura killings. Hashimpura remains devoid of basic municipal amenities, the erring silence on the narrow lanes of the locality amid the activities of daily life speaks of the horror of the fateful day in 1987.

1989 Bhagalpur riots The forgotten riots of Bhagalpur. In October 1989, Parbatti, a locality in Bhagalpur town in the eastern state of Bihar, saw a well full of bodies cut into pieces which local reporters were quick to announce were the bodies of Hindu students murdered by Muslim mobs. But they were eventually identified as the family members of Mohammed Javed. All 12 of them. The 1995 Riots Inquiry Commission Report by Justices Ram Chandra Prasad Sinha and S Shamsul Hasan blamed the administration, the press and the police for disseminating false information in an already communalised situation. What happened on October 24, 1989 could be described as a riot, but what followed over the next month was nothing but an organised massacre of one group. The violence was ignited after Hindu religious procession came under a bomb attack.

1992 Bombay riots :- After the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992, there were riots across the nation. But the most sharp reaction came from the financial capital of the country, then known as Bombay, and it claimed more than 900 lives. The 1992 Bombay riots wrecked the city, thousands fled in fear and even after 25 years the memories of the destruction remain firmly etched on the minds of the people. Life in the 1992 riot hit areas may have moved on and there is still no closure. The Supreme Court still has to give its final say on some cases related to the Mumbai riots. Behrampada, a predominantly Muslim slum near Bandra, became a name synonymous with mayhem during the riots. Not much has changed in Behrampada even after 25 years. The dingy lanes are equally stinky as they were 25 years ago, the open drains continue to flow amidst multi-storey shanties, open cables hang in the middle of the slender lanes.

2002 Gujarat violence :- At 7:42 a.m. on February 27, 2002, Sabarmati Express pulled into the train station of Godhra, a small town in the Western Indian state of Gujarat, ruled by a Hindu nationalist government since 1995. What exactly happened at the train station and soon thereafter remains trapped in different narratives. Some details can, however, be reconstructed with sufficient assurance. Sabarmati Express was carrying cadres (karsevaks) of the Hindu right from Ayodhya, where they had gone to express their vigorous support for building a Ram temple at a legally and politically disputed site.1 At Godhra, apparently, an altercation took place between Hindu activists and some Muslim boys serving tea at the train station.2 As the train began moving after its scheduled stop at the station, the emergency cord was pulled. As a result, the train stopped in a primarily Muslim neighborhood where, according to credible press reports, it was attacked by a Muslim mob. Two carriages were burned,3 and the firefighting efforts hampered. The fire killed 58 passengers, including many women and children.

Muzaffarnagar violence :- Eight years since the Muzaffarnagar riots of 2013, 1,117 people accused in 97 cases related to murder, rape, robbery and arson among others connected to the violence have been acquitted over lack of evidence. Seven people were convicted in a single case related to the murder of two youths, Sachin and Gaurav, in Kawal village in the district. This, together with the stabbing to death of another person, Shahnawaz, on August 27, 2013 by six people had triggered the riots, according to police. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was set up by the State government to look into the riot cases. According to officials of the SIT, police had registered 510 cases against 1,480 people and filed charge sheets in 175 cases. An official of the SIT said that over the years, 97 cases have been decided by a court which has acquitted 1,117 people accused in those due to lack of evidence. The prosecution has not filed an appeal in any of these cases, he said.

2020 Delhi riots :- On the eve of February 23, riots broke out in Northeast Delhi between Anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and pro-CAA protestors. The violence took a communal turn and led to the death of over 53 people over the course of the next 10 days. More than 200 were left injured. Shops and houses were burnt down and even places of worship were attacked. Protests began in Delhi and other parts of the country in December 2019 in response to the passage of the Citizenship Bill, which paved the way for grant of citizenship to Hindu, Sikhs, Parsis, Jains, Buddhists and Christians who took refuge in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan in or before December 2014. The Act was seen by protestors as discriminatory to Muslims and threatening to their existence in India when combined with the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Several demonstrations were held in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Aligarh, Bengaluru, Kolkata and other parts of the country.
