The Islamophobia and hate crimes against Muslims have witnessed an alarming increase ever since Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in India in 2014.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Modi government is pursuing controversial policies openly ignoring all rights including the religious freedom of the Muslims, who have been facing systematic discrimination, prejudice and violence despite so-called constitutional protections.
The ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza has further exposed Islamophobic sentiments and biases in India as amidst the Zionist bombardment on Gaza there is a highly skewed trend of Indian accounts supporting Israel. The Indian media’s hate-filled rhetoric against Palestinians and their supporters speaks volumes about its biased reporting. Narendra Modi’s open support to the Zionist regime in its war on Gaza is a wake-up call for the Arab states establishing friendly relations with India. Under Modi’s Hindutva regime, the strategic, military and ideological ties between Israel and India are getting stronger day by day.
