Last evening on Al Jazeera, I said what we are witnessing right now is unprecedented in Indian history. The ongoing incidents of hatred and violence can’t be categorized as communal violence but state persecution of Indian Muslims.

The heinous murder of Nagaraju violates the spirit of Islam and every Quranic injunction. Islam negates caste; the first to call the Azaan was Hazrat Bilal - a slave who the Prophet considered his son.

The responsibility of fighting fascism and saving India’s soul lies entirely with the majority Hindu community. The oppressed Muslim minority are anyway powerless and consumed in trying to save their lives and livelihoods from continued violent attacks on them.

For the Hindu community in India, it is a 9/11 moment. The way global Muslim community condemned the violence in the name of their religion, it is time for Hindus to actively dissociate themselves from the anti-Muslim violence and discrimination being carried out in their name.
