Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “The rise of hate speech in Modi’s India” – below is their description.
India is at a dangerous moment.
The voices of Hindutva – Hindu supremacy – are ascending, spreading division and hate speech. It has worked its way through the body politic like a slow-acting poison. And the effect on the secular fabric of the Indian republic and the lives of minorities – especially Muslims – has proven toxic, at times deadly.
