Muslim identity under threat in India amid Modi govt-backed rising extremism

New Delhi (Web Desk): India has once again witnessed anti-Muslim actions as extremist Hindu groups are attempting to erase the country's Muslim identity while operating under the protection of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.

The Modi administration has given a free hand to Hindu organizations to target the Muslim community in support of the Hindutva ideology.

Videos that have gone viral on social media allegedly show members of a Hindu extremist group destroying Muslim graves in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand.

In another reported incident, activists belonging to the Hindu extremist outfit Raksha Dal allegedly blocked Muslims from offering prayers in Delhi's Mandawali locality.

The group was also heard declaring that Muslims would neither be permitted to perform prayers nor be allowed to gather on public streets, according to the videos circulating online.
