In the last few weeks, violence against members of Muslim community has been reported in over seven Indian states. Videos circulating on social media show provocative slogans and songs played in Muslim areas and in front of mosques, leading to clashes.
One person has been killed, Muslim-owned homes have been razed, and there were attempts to raise saffron flags in mosques during the Hindu festivals of Ramnavami and Hanuman Jayanti celebrations this year.
