Hate crimes against religious minorities have increased in number and intensity in the past year and the violence is directed at Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis, and Christians amongst other minorities in ways that are systematic, vengeful, and going nowhere, a report by the Association for Protection of Civil Rights has found. https://www.thewire.in/communalism/apcr-report-communalism-anti-minority-hate-crimes-modi-third-government-first-year
The report is titled ‘Hate Crime Report: Mapping First Year of Modi’s Third Government’. It comes at the end of a year of systematic research on communal violence and inflammatory speech targeting religious minorities in India.
The Association for Protection of Civil Rights or APCR is a non-profit civil rights organisation established in 2006.
The group points out that despite the rising intensity and frequency of targeted attacks on religious minorities, there remains “no systematic or institutional effort to record or document hate crimes.”
