In today’s episode of News That Matters with Neeraj, we delve into the rising tide of communal hatred in India, where being a Muslim increasingly feels like a crime. From being denied the right to work, rent a home, or run a business, to facing discrimination in gyms, schools, and beauty salons—Muslims across India are being pushed to the margins. In Bhopal, Bajrang Dal members questioned the presence of a Muslim gym trainer, prompting police action. Shockingly, a video surfaced where a police officer stated that no Muslims should enter gyms. BJP MP Alok Sharma even proposed creating a list of Muslim gym trainers. This wave of exclusion isn’t isolated. Across Gurugram, Maharashtra, and Uttarakhand, Muslims are being denied livelihoods and homes based on religion. The dangerous rhetoric finds roots in the ideology of RSS leaders like M.S. Golwalkar and V.D. Savarkar, who openly admired Hitler and promoted Hindu supremacy. Today, that ideology seems to be creeping into mainstream governance and public sentiment. We contrast this with the inclusive vision of Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, and Sir Syed Ahmad Khan—who believed in a pluralistic India. Is India still walking their path? Or are we slipping into an era of fascist hate politics? Watch this important video to understand how hate is being normalized—and what it could cost us as a nation.
