Muslims are the second largest nation of India, with 14.2 percent of the country’s population being Muslim. Over the centuries, Muslims have played a prominent role in India’s economic rise and cultural influence. There is a complex history of Hindu-Muslim riots in India. One of the most violent events in recent times took place during the Gujarat riots in 2002. More than 2,000 people, most of them Muslims, were killed in the violence. Tens of thousands of people were left homeless as the rioters set fire to Muslim homes and businesses. Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi, then chief minister of Gujarat, was widely accused of turning a blind eye to the violence.
The recent tensions between India and Pakistan create fear for the Indian Muslims. They are constantly getting threatened by extremist Hindus. The ruling party and RSS activists have started a campaign against Muslims.
