THE darkness has covered Muslims around the world, and with every passing day, new tactics are being tried to eradicate them. From Gaza to Occupied Kashmir and India, the brutality against Muslims by Hindus and Jews is gaining strength.
Under the leadership of Narendra Modi, the butcher of Gujarat and RSS propagandist, the genocide of Muslims living in India, including Occupied Kashmir, is ongoing. Meanwhile, the devil’s dance is raging in Gaza, where a large number of Palestinian Muslims, including children, have been martyred as a result of Zionist atrocities.
The population of Muslims in India is more than 13.4 percent according to official data, making it the largest Muslim minority population in the world and the third largest Muslim population overall. However, India as a state is currently busy implementing Narendra Modi’s fascist ideas, and Muslims are its special target. The BJP is following the agenda of Sangh Parivar to eradicate Muslim identity. Thousands of Muslims are being bathed in blood through Gau Raksha, Love Jihad, the controversial citizenship law, the stopping of Holy Quran education, and Muslim-killing riots.
RSS is nearing its hundredth year in 2025 and aims to establish India as a ‘Hindu Rashtra,’ swiftly advancing its dangerous ambitions. Under RSS leadership and Modi’s patronage, extremists have readied for Muslim genocide. Hindu youth are being conditioned to hate Muslims and trained to use weapons. Displays of weapons and hateful slogans in Ram and Hanuman processions have escalated beyond harassment to terrorizing Muslims.
The identity of Muslims is being erased through issues like Vande Mataram, Surya Namashkar, Yoga, cow sanctity, and triple talaq. The Indian state’s interference in Muslim personal law highlights this hostility. Extremist groups such as Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Shiv Sena, Hindu Maha Sabha, and Ram Taran Mandal follow an anti-Muslim agenda. Attacks on mosques, amendments to Muslim Personal Law, and the humiliation of Muslims are integral to their teachings. A Muslim scholar says, “in a way, the message is being given to Muslims silently that they should leave here.”
Recently, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken released the 2023 State Department religious freedom report, noting a “concerning increase” in hate speech, anti-conversion laws, and the demolition of homes and places of worship for minority groups in India. Blinken emphasized that despite global protection efforts, millions continue to be denied religious freedom. The report highlighted issues in India, where US officials have consistently raised concerns about religious freedom over the past year. It detailed incidents of attacks on minorities, including killings, assaults, and vandalism of their places of worship. Additionally, ten of India’s 28 states have laws restricting religious conversions, some penalizing forced conversions for marriage, underscoring minority groups’ ongoing struggle to secure protection and maintain their freedom of religion or belief.
It is necessary that these tyrannical and fascist goals of India are not allowed to be fulfilled, and their path must be blocked; otherwise, Muslims’ names and marks will be erased from India.
