In this thread, I have documented the violence against Muslims in India after 1950. Since there is a lot of whataboutery on the violence during the partition, I have collected the data AFTER the partition and the implementation of the Indian constitution.

LONG THREAD

1/n

As Arundhati Roy has said, Hindu Rashtra is already there since 1947. After 1950, Muslims families have been brutally massacred, jailed, tortured, raped, displaced and properties destroyed. In many cases, it is done with the direct or indirect support of the State.

For an in-depth analysis, there are many research papers and books available. It is also not possible to cover all the pogroms here because of the sheer numbers, so I have recorded only the major ones.

3/n

Rumors of cow slaughter, or rape/kidnapping/eve-teasing, or desecration of a temple, or disturbances in religious processions, etc. are the triggers which start these genocides. The objective of this thread is to raise awareness and call for a reform in the society.

4/n

The anti-Muslim pogroms during the 50s were less, the number of lives lost during this decade was 316. Maybe the Muslim massacres during 1947 had quenched the thirst for a few years. From the 60s, communal riots appear to be systematically engineered.
