India’s prime minister Nahrendra Modi and his BJP party are widely predicted to win next month’s general election.
But his second term in power has been marked by deepening religious polarisation and increasing islamophobia.
There are more than 200 million muslims in India, making up the country’s largest religious minority.
Following a wave of violence against India’s muslims, members of the community have told the BBC that they are living in fear and are being marginalised and suppressed.
Those claims are strongly denied by India’s Hindu nationalist government.

BBC best of luck with UK on the path to become United kingdom of Islam ☪️ Britishers fighting for there rights, british values in there own country..
Enjoy implementing Sharia law in UK. 😢😮
Just report this channel. they are the biggest hypocrites to ever live on this land
The jealousy of 1947 😂 continues 🤡
72 HOORE vala PROGRAM BAND KARO BAND KARO 😂
India is for India, I cant walk in and say India belongs to christ! So why can they say it belongs to Muhammad!?
Dear BBC take all muslims to your country. Please stop your nonsense secularism. No body on the globe like your channel.
Pagans are barbaric people.. paganism should be banned from this world..these heathens need to be civilized..
Scary 😨 and I feel anger risen in my heart and body.
What are yall indians comparing your 3rd world incredible india to uk or usa
Like that doesn't even make sense to me
Most of yall are poor and broke
Nah not true.
Their victim card will soon turn into majority.
Europe is a perfect example.
Looo at Assam guys; in 1951 the percentage of muslims were around 14 percent now and as of 2024 it's 40 percent.
This should frighten us as Indians.
Now im not saying all muslims are bad but the ones who are good wont do a damn thing like voice out.
210 million people they are not a minority actually minority in india are sikhs, jains, Buddhist, Parsis they don't have any problem why only one community has problems
Third world being third world.
Seems like they don't like it when it's done to them
These so called Muslims only have themselves to blame for all this racism and persecution nobody else. Because their belief is like that totally outdated and orthodox kind that’s why the whole world. And that’s what fuels the terrorism. The orthodox narrow mindset. So there we go technically they are all the same, they may seem decent people from outside but inside they are all. The cause of extremism lies within them forever and ever till the moment they change their mindset. Besides that the only thing I have to say that so what if I become a Muslim but however I want no part in that matter where the whole world hates you. I want no part in any of it.
This is bogus news that muslims are being marginalized in India.
They want to defame India.
BBC does not talk about persecution of minorities like Hindus,Sikhs,Christians in Pakistan and their migration to India, because of which CAA is implemented in India.
When they become majority then non Muslim will fear violence from their demonic religion ….
MUSLIM INDONESIA 200 JUTA ORANG,
JANGAN GANGGU SAUDARA KAMI ATAU KAMI AKAN BERGERAK
Muslim never anyone except Allah. This is an ethnic cleansing persuing against Muslim. May Allah protect our beloved Muslim.
I'm a Hindu and express full solidarity with the Muslim community in India. I hope the Islamophobic haters here go to hell 😊
Saves all the Muslim right who wanted to stay with India and are against Pakistan
Here Is The Non IT Cell Comment You Were Looking For.
Look at them talking about Islamophobia in India when they themselves are sending back asylum seekers😂
Stop spreading the propoganda🤬
Good
If Christianity was the second largest religion Christian’s would also be oppressed so any Christians watching keep that in mind
Western Propoganda …. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
As per the headline of BBC, now the elections are over. Are muslims persecuted yet?
🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
All over the world, Muslims do not want to live with anybody , they try to impose Sariya on everyone and try to convert everyone to Islam
by hook or a crook.
Did you see how your country has gone to these locusts?…
There were three factions in United India.
1. Right wing Muslims (ML)
2. Secular Indian (Congress)
3. Right wing Hindus (RSS)
Right wing muslims created Pakistan. Secular Indians created present-day India. Now if Right wing Hindus want to create Hindu Rashtra. India will break one more time.
Propaganda
We’ve seen what Islam has done to UK and Europe. lol you’re a laughing stock for most of the world and you’re talking about India
Every country is struggling after COVID,stop blaming Modi. False News
Victim card is quite useful
Mean while me and my muslim friend watching this video together😂these westerns should stick what they know than talking about someone perspective😂
😂😂😂😂 muslims haven't suffered yet so far, it still is to become way worse for them. Justice will prevail and each deeds against Sanatan Aryan culture would be revenged.
Jay Shree Ram 🚩🚩🚩🚩

Dear BBC, We’ll talk about democracy when you guys will start collecting taxes from the King 😂
Bloody Hypocrites😂
Dear Brits,
Look at the state of London, do you really think India should do what you did to your country?
BBC is worthless and not even credible now 😂
talk of persecution, when the ruling party itself never tires of feeding hateful propaganda against minorities day in and day out. can anyone blame the wast majority who believe in their lop-sided narratives and follow them blindly.
