It has written that the Modi government is fascist as it is only the spokesperson of the Hindu majority.<\/p>\n<p>The newspaper said the BJP government is discriminating against minorities on religious and ethnic grounds, adding there has been a dangerous increase in violence against religious minorities in India during Narendra Modi\u2019s tenure. It said after 2014, Muslims in Modi\u2019s India have been discriminated against in terms of residence, employment, education and even the right to vote due to which India\u2019s secular claim has been exposed.<\/p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal has written in the report that despite being only 2.3 percent of the population, Christians are also under the influence of Hindutva violence as only in 2025, 706 anti-Christian incidents were recorded. There were attacks on churches, violence at religious services, vandalism of Christmas symbols, but Modi remained deliberately silent, it said, adding Modi\u2019s failure to condemn the attacks is a clear official signal to extremist Hindu elements to continue their work.<\/p>\n<p>The newspaper wrote anti-conversion laws and biased state behaviour are providing practical protection to violence against minorities. The report says that secularism in India is now just a symbolic slogan while minorities are victims of systematic violence across the country.<\/p>\n<p>It said Modi\u2019s India is not a full-class democracy, but a full-class majority state. It said fear has become the identity of minorities in India and violence against religious minorities is becoming the norm under Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n<p>The report further states that in 2025, Christmas in India became a national flashpoint for religious extremism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington: The renowned American newspaper \u201cWall Street Journal\u201d has written in its report that along with Muslims in India, the Christian minority is also suffering from the worst situation.
