A "staggering" surge hate speech in India last year was "deeply intertwined with the ideological ambitions of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the broader Hindu nationalist movement," a think tank has said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/02/11/asia-pacific/politics/anti-muslim-hate-speech-india-modi/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #india #discrimination #narendramodi #socialmedia #bjp

Diese Vorstellung, dass Hindus von Muslimen angegriffen werden, ist in der gesamten indischen Politik präsent. Sie wird von vielen Politikern des Landes propagiert, die die Bevölkerung in einen minderheitenfeindlichen Wahn versetzen wollen, den sie für ihren Machterhalt nutzen können. Ethnische Unternehmer können fast immer Anekdoten finden, die genug Angst schüren, um das Gesamtbild der Fakten zu überdecken.
Solche Akteure haben natürlich auch Erfolg, wenn sie offen Falschinformationen verbreiten. Hindu-Nationalisten, schreibt Bhatia, sind geschickt darin, „durch die Veröffentlichung und Wiederholung von Gerüchten und Vermutungen eine Atmosphäre des Misstrauens zu schaffen“

There is no official data on segregation in India, but it appears to be increasing among Muslims in recent years due to rising Islamophobia. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/10/19/asia-pacific/society/modi-india-muslims-segregation/ #asiapacific #society #religion #india #narendramodi #islam #hinduism #newdelhi #discrimination #bjp
@cube_drone This has been going on for 45 years.
Last year #Khalistan extremists commemorated 40th anniversary of assassination of India's PM #IndiraGandhi.
That'd be like people celebrating the assassination of #Lincoln or #JFK.
Lot of people in the West don't like Modi, but this Nijjar incident is not about Modi. Conflating Modi and Nijjar is not helpful.
Indira Gandhi who was assassinated by her pro-Khalistan #Sikh bodyguards in 1984 belonged to the opposition of Modi's #BJP party

BJP legislator Nitesh Rane delivered an incendiary speech, stating, "I will enter mosques and kill Muslims." This provocative statement, made during a public gathering, has led to severe criticism. The incident was reported by Hindustan Times. After the video of his speech circulated widely on social media, Ahmednagar police filed two cases against him, seemingly compelled to take action.
On Friday, at a meeting in Ahmednagar in support of Ramgiri Maharaj, Nitesh Rane said, "If anyone speaks against Ramgiri Maharaj, I will enter the mosque and hunt down Muslims. Keep that in mind."
Meanwhile, Asaduddin Owaisi's party, All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), strongly condemned the incident. The party's leader, Imtiaz Jaleel, said, "Ramgiri Maharaj's comments are part of a political conspiracy. Action should be taken against him."
The party's spokesperson, Waris Pathan, added, "In Ahmednagar, BJP legislator Nitesh Rane is openly threatening to enter mosques and kill Muslims one by one. He is spreading hatred against Muslims in public meetings. Before the Assembly elections, BJP is trying to spread communal hatred in Maharashtra. Based on the FIR, Rane should be taken into police custody immediately."
Amid the controversy, BJP claimed that Nitesh Rane's comments do not represent the party's views. The party's spokesperson, Tuhin Sinha, has strongly criticized Rane's remarks.
An Indian police officer informed the news agency PTI that "two FIRs have been registered against Nitesh Rane at Shrirampur and Topkhana police stations, about 260 kilometers away from Mumbai, for criminal intimidation, deliberately disturbing peace, and hurting religious sentiments."
