Will Western elites pay due attention to crisis for Muslims in India?
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202201/1246319.shtml
Hindu extremism targeting Muslims, Christians and other religious believers has been growing in India, but does the Western elites care?
In a video on YouTube featuring a conference of right-wing Hindu activists and monks in India last month, Pooja Shakun Pandey, a leader of Hindu Mahasabha, a group that espouses militant Hindu nationalism, called on her supporters to kill Muslims and "protect" the country. "If 100 of us are ready to kill two million of them, then we will win and make India a Hindu nation. Be ready to kill and go to jail!" she said.
She was not the sole Hindu activist who called for "a genocide" against Muslims during that meeting. With enmity and violence toward Muslims rising, there have been signs of impending "genocide" of Muslims in India. Articles discussing whether India is headed for an anti-Muslim "genocide" are also increasingly appeared on media.
India's Muslim communities have faced decades of discrimination, which experts say has worsened under the Hindu nationalist BJP-led government. "The Modi administration took many measures including scrapping the autonomous status of the Indian-administered Kashmir, a Muslim-majority state, and passing the Citizenship Amendment Act, which was dubbed as an anti-Muslim law. These moves have catered to the demands of Hindu nationalists and fueled their arrogance," Liu Zongyi, secretary-general of the Research Center for China-South Asia Cooperation at the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies, told the Global Times.
Liu also warned that with less than a month to go before assembly elections in the five states, it's likely the BJP will further incite anti-Muslim sentiment to attract voters.
