A lot has been said over the narrative of ‘Dara Hua Musalman’.
The secular camp has carefully constructed the narrative with its
abundant resources, initiatives have been launched which
maintain a dubious ‘hate tracker’ record to further the narrative.
However, reality, more o ten than not, finds itself at odds with the
liberal narrative.
In this article, we shall document a list of hate crimes committed
by the minority community due to religious reasons since 2016
which would dispel the narrative. It will also demonstrate
conclusively that the concerns of the Hindu community
regarding the toxic fundamentalism that is pervasive within the
Muslim community stand on firm ground. There are several
incidents that we may have missed in this list, nonetheless, this
list accurately represents the larger picture of how crimes
committed by Muslims o ten don’t feature in the outrage priority
list of the “liberals”.
