Attacks on Indian Muslims rise after Ram temple ceremony

Muslims across India have reported physical and verbal harassment by Hindu mobs celebrating the recent consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya city, which was built on the site where the historic Babri Mosque was demolished by Hindu militants in 1992.

Reports indicate that Hindu mobs have attacked Muslim graveyards, neighborhoods, and mosques in the name of celebrating the Ram Temple.

As India marks Republic Day, many fear the dawn of a new nation where minorities are made to feel like ‘rubbish’. For millions in India, the idea of nation is slipping away fast. They say Indian people will prevail over Hindu nationalism, but it will be a long battle as “too much poison” has been injected into the veins of the society.
