"The tragedy of the Muslims in India is continuing on under the eyes of all the world, but Nobody moves a finger, so where are the international human rights organizations?! Where are the Islamic cooperation and its general secretariat?!” Al Khalili wrote on Twitter.

There have been several instances of religious violence against Muslims since the partition of India in 1947, frequently in the form of violent attacks on Muslims by Hindu nationalist mobs that form a pattern of sporadic sectarian violence between the Hindu and Muslim communities.

Over 10,000 people have been killed in Hindu-Muslim communal violence since 1950 in 6,933 instances of communal violence between 1954 and 1982.

Anti-Muslim sentiments have heightened under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has pursued a Hindu nationalist agenda since elected to power in 2014.

Since then, Indian Muslims are threatened, lynched, beaten, raped, and murdered, and their homes, businesses, and mosques are vandalized and attacked with increasing frequency and ferocity. (ILKHA)
