SRINAGAR (Kashmir English): Civil society activists have said that India has witnessed an alarming surge of Hindu fascism since Narendra Modi assumed power, turning the country into a criminal fascist enterprise driven by Hindutva dominance.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the activists said that Muslims in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) are facing the cruelest brunt of these fascist policies, as the Modi regime is systematically silencing dissent and crushing democratic freedoms across the occupied territory.
They added that religious minorities across India are also being pushed to the margins through discriminatory laws and state-sponsored hate campaigns.
The activists noted that Modi is advancing the fascist vision of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which has been mainstreamed into the very core of Indian politics.
They pointed out that hate crimes against Muslims and other minorities have surged to alarming levels under Modi’s rule, threatening peace and stability in South Asia.

They stressed that the international community cannot remain silent in the face of rising Hindutva fascism and must act to protect Indian minorities as well as Kashmiri Muslims from Modi’s dangerous agenda.
