Human rights organisations around the world are sounding the alarm on India.
They say hate speech is fuelling violence and intolerance against minorities to levels never seen before.
Attacks against Muslims and Christians have been some of the worst seen in the country.
Some politicians, especially those with ties to the ruling BJP, have been accused of inciting and also promoting violence against minority groups.
The government is under pressure to curb this trend.
