Islamabad: Following recent West Bengal elections, the Modi government is aggressively purging Muslim street names to project a hardline Hindutva identity.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, each elected majoritarian regime in India is violently overwriting Muslim history.<\/p>\n

India’s paranoid sensitivity toward Muslim-named roads exposes an insecure national obsession with erasing foundational Islamic heritage.<\/p>\n

The Modi regime is also weaponizing local municipal laws to systematically shrink living spaces and land for Indian Muslims. Through aggressive historical revisionism and forced structural renaming, Modi is signaling toward a dangerous desire to expel Muslims from India entirely.<\/p>\n

By replacing historic landmarks with polarizing communal figures, India is deepening internal fractures and threatening regional stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
