Abstract

With Narendra Modi’s recent official visit to the United States, there is a renewed focus on the treatment of India’s minorities by his Bharatiya Janata Party and its ideological allies. This discussion has been given additional fuel by the articles in the US media looking back on the attacks on minorities, both physical and legal, over the nine years of Modi’s reign. Even as institutionalised riot politics is on the wane in India, liberals have noted that Indian Muslims have been subjected to constant low-intensity violence since 2014.
