Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lost its majority in recent national elections. Yet its Hindu nationalist agenda continues to result in religious extremism and targeting of minorities. According to the Indian Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR), there’s been a surge in religious violence since the start of Modi’s new term. The non-governmental organization has recorded eight lynchings in June alone. By comparison, there were 21 lynchings in the whole of 2023. The fresh spate of attacks have especially put Indian Muslims on edge in states like Uttar Pradesh.

    Harsh Mandar runs his own human rights NGOs and releases his agenda based investigation reports via NGOs, goes to Supreme Court and files Public Interest Litigations based on these reports. Supreme Court of India caught him red handed and reprimanded him once.😂

    India was never a secular country, India was partitioned for one religion, otherwise there was no country called Pakistan or Bangladesh, Also the term secular itself not so secular , its about the relation & jurisdiction of church & state .
