A Thread reserved for facts on making of #Islamophobia_In_India mainstream. Points will be added subsequently.
Success in countering BJP, RSS fascism won't be achieved unless Islamophobia is countered by majority community and all other communities standing up against BJP-RSS.

Indian media increased suspicion and fear about Muslims as traitors, quoting leaks from police ( torture and confessions secured as evidence) or intelligence and failing to verify facts or attribute sources. 2/n
Islam came to India long before the Mughals. From the seventh century, Arab traders came to the Malabar coast and Islam took root peacefully, through trade and marriage.
#Islamophobia_In_India succeeded in creating a widespread climate of fear blinding the rich heritage.
#Islamophobia in India existed as prejudice and stigma decades ago. Partition made it worst. Every political party has its own share of nurturing this prejudice against Muslims. Marginalization of dalits and other 'lower' caste among Hindus too a reality.
Ghettoisation and insecurity of Muslims 'thrived' in the interest of fascist forces. An incident involving a muslim name in any part of the world sends shivers among Indian Muslim to hold placard of "Not in our name".

Hindutva (a milder name for Right wing terror brigade) stereotype and demonise #IndianMuslims. Indian liberals stand behind this brigade to satisfy their prejudiced minds.
Death sentence was executed to satisfy "collective conscience" of the society, a blood thirsty majoritarian.Yet,it did not shake Indian Muslims's faith in the country's judiciary and democratic values. Culprits of Fake encounters given "clean chits" despite damning evidence.7/n
Non stop agenda to malign Muslims is a blow to the democratic and secularist assertions made via constitution. The political working capital among Muslims is meager given their fragmented presence and commitment to apologetic norms of bigger political parties.

Take a hard look at the practice of terr0r unleashed by RSS against Muslims and Christians. Unlike any other similar group across the world, RSS is at the driving seat of power at center and states.
