Abstract

Century-long proliferation of Islamophobia in India has reached momentum during India‘s 2019 Parliamentary elections that led to Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) exhibiting discrimination of Muslims who live in India for centuries, contributing to its development and establishment of socio-religious co-existence and harmony. A qualitative content analysis of the writings, websites, newspaper reports, public speeches, social media analyses and claims, manifest that Hindutva exponents have been propagating the Hindutva ideology to establish Hindu Rashtra. The paper studies cultivation of hatred for Muslims by engineering communal violence, mosque demolition, and Muslim genocide by Hindutva proponents and those who are at the helm of affairs. The paper also studies the so-called 'Spanish Experiment‘, branding Muslims, Supreme Court verdict on Babri Mosque, anti-Muslim policies, the Kashmir issue, Citizenship Amendment Act, National Register of Citizens, and forcing Muslims to utter Jai Sri Ram, and the Hindu fanatics carrying the flag of Islamophobia to foreign lands, the Shaheen Bagh protest and Delhi violence.
