YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMuslims make up 15% of India’s population, but India’s largest minority is facing rising violence. With lynchings happening just two hours away from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence, a police shooting on a train targeting Muslim residents and Muslim students being attacked in school, many Indian Muslims are wondering if they are safe in their homeland.
India hosted multiple world leaders for the G20 in 2023. But there is a stark difference between the India projected to the outside world and the reality on the ground. Government leaders like Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have been calling for India to be a Hindu nation. The rise of Hindu nationalism and anti-Muslim sentiment is now mainstream, especially in the movies coming out of Bollywood – India's Hindi-language movie industry.
Journalist Rana Ayyub has been documenting the plight of Indian minority groups her entire career, and now she’s become the target of right-wing Hindu nationalists and the BJP government.
