    This is a fairly stupid headline. There are laws which require Muslims to prove their heritage and that they are legally residents, and no one else. There’s police brutality against Muslims and their homes are destroyed. High ranking leaders talk about how Muslims are like rats and roaches spreading disease and requiring extermination. These leaders are part of Modi’s Hindu nationalist party.

    The incident in this article doesn’t reflect an “increasingly polarized India”, it presents an extremely polarized India. Fascists are using the government to spread nationalism and religious zealotry, and persecute Muslims.
