Guwahati: A video has surfaced purportedly showing a Muslim woman being forced to chant the Hindutva slogan \u201cJai Shri Ram\u201d in BJP-ruled Assam.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the viral video, showing a Muslim woman being forced to chant \u201cJai Shri Ram\u201d by a Hindu man, has sparked outrage on social media, with many users calling for an investigation into the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

The video shows a man wearing a tilak asking the woman her name. After she identifies herself as \u201cMaafia Akthara,\u201d he appears to recognize her as a Muslim. He is then heard repeatedly instructing her to chant \u201cJai Shri Ram,\u201d saying, \u201cSay it properly. Jai Shri Ram. Say it loud. I can\u2019t hear you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman appears to comply, but the circumstances leading up to the recording and what happened afterward remain unclear.<\/p>\n

The clip has drawn widespread condemnation online, with several users describing it as an instance of religious intimidation.
\nOne X user wrote, \u201cHow does making others chant JSR make your religion any good? This is what an inferiority complex looks like. This is how Muslims are harassed in India.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another user said, \u201cNow imagine if Muslims forced someone to say \u2018Allahu Akbar.\u2019 But Muslims are not insecure like them.\u201d KMS-8R<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
