New Delhi: As Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi projects India as a champion of global security, minority communities at home say they are facing growing marginalization and attacks from Hindutva gangs.<\/p>\n

According to a report by Kashmir Media Service, India\u2019s 200 million Muslims, about 15% of the population, and 30 million Christians complain that their identities are \u201cbrutally shrinking\u201d under the current government.<\/p>\n

Muslims hold barely 4.4% of Lok Sabha seats despite their 15 per cent population share, the statement noted, calling it evidence of \u201csystemic erasure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Data shows hate speech targeting minorities surged to 1,318 incidents in 2025, a 13% rise, with 98% of cases aimed at Muslims. The proposed Uniform Civil Code has also been described as \u201ccultural bulldozing\u201d aimed at imposing majoritarian norms and wiping out minority personal laws.<\/p>\n

In Manipur alone, over 200 Christians were killed and 250 churches torched, while more than 700 attacks on Christians have been recorded in recent years across the country.<\/p>\n
