Presentation: Hindutva and Anti-Muslim Violence

Policy Architecture

Criminalizing Muslim Life

Legal frameworks designed to marginalize and disenfranchise.

Citizenship as a Weapon (CAA + NRC)

The CAA fast-tracks non-Muslims, while the NRC threatens to render millions of Muslims stateless, creating a “bureaucratic genocide.”

Eroding Religious Autonomy

The 2025 Waqf Amendment Act strips control over community endowments. The UCC overrides personal laws on marriage and inheritance.

Hijab Bans & Educational Exclusion

State-enforced hijab bans force a choice between faith and education. Textbooks are being revised to erase centuries of Muslim history.

Criminalizing Relationships

“Love Jihad” conspiracy theories empower vigilantes to harass interfaith couples and arrest Muslim men on baseless charges.

“Combined, these laws seek to criminalize all aspects of Muslim life… turning existence while Muslim into a crime.”

— IMAM

Economic Apartheid

Mandates requiring shop owners to display names enable targeting of Muslim businesses, institutionalizing segregation.
