Authorities in western India have launched an investigation after far-right Hindus allegedly attacked foreign university students offering prayers during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, as religious tensions simmer ahead of a crucial general election.
Clashes erupted at Gujarat University when students from countries including Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and Tajikistan were praying on campus grounds. Around 20-25 people confronted the students, demanding they pray in a mosque instead. This led to an argument, stone-pelting, and vandalism of the students' rooms.
