Unsettling Trend Continues: Sectarian Violence Takes Toll on Indian Society

Amidst a backdrop of growing sectarian tensions, an elderly Muslim couple in Uttar Pradesh, India, were brutally beaten to death due to their son's relationship with a Hindu girl. This grim incident is emblematic of a concerning trend targeting the Muslim community. In a distressing parallel, a Muslim man named Waseem was fatally beaten in Rajasthan, reflecting the surge in hate-driven violence. These events coincide with the rise of Hindutva ideology and the Bhartiya Janata Party's influence, underscoring the fragile social landscape.
