Well-known global human rights organization Genocide Watch has claimed that India is preparing for “genocidal massacres” of the country's Muslims. “India has all of the preparatory stages for more genocidal massacres,” said the organisation's founder Dr Gregory Stanton, citing the "discriminatory" Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the "dehumanization of Muslims" through hate speech, and the “non-prosecution of lynchings and other crimes committed by Hindus against Muslims.”
Well-known global human rights organization Genocide Watch has claimed that India is preparing for “genocidal massacres” of the country's Muslims. “India has all of the preparatory stages for more genocidal massacres,” said the organisation's founder Dr Gregory Stanton, citing the "discriminatory" Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the "dehumanization of Muslims" through hate speech, and the “non-prosecution of lynchings and other crimes committed by Hindus against Muslims.”
“Persecution of Muslims is reflected in termination of Kashmir's autonomy… Much Muslim property has been expropriated or destroyed, and Muslims have been displaced into enclaves,” Dr Stanton said. He was participating in a panel discussion organized by the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) at the Islamic Society of North America’s (ISNA) annual convention.
“A climate of impunity reigns, in which eyewitnesses to mass murders of their own families have been terrorized into recanting testimony, and the killers have been acquitted", he alleged, warning, RSS, to which Prime Minister Narendra Modi belongs, is pushing its "violent supremacist ideology" in schools, trade unions, cultural societies, and religious groups all over India.
“[The RSS also] runs camps of the Bajrang Dal, where young Hindu boys are taught the ideology of Hindutva and where hatred and fear of Muslims are openly advocated. These camps receive large financial contributions from Indians abroad, especially through the India Development and Relief Fund,” said Dr Stanton.
Recalling that BJP, the political wing of RSS, has played a role in "instigating violent and genocidal violence in the past, especially during the Gujarat pogrom of 2002", he said, “The killers clearly expressed their genocidal intent in their slogans: ‘Kill them all, destroy their society;’ ‘finish off all Muslims;’ ‘our people were not spared by them, don't have mercy’.”
Also speaking on the panel, Niranjan Takle, an Indian investigative journalist, stated that the BJP is implementing ideas put forth by the founders of the Hindutva ideology, "including the weaponization of rape and cow vigilantism to spread fear among Indian Muslims."
Raising the issue of Hindu extremism rising outside of India, naming several US-based organizations as channels for spreading the ideology, he added, “This Hindutva ideology I know for sure has spread across the world through several organizations like Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh… and they are trying to influence policies of foreign countries right now, apart from spreading hatred because it's only hatred on which they can survive."
“I am a Hindu myself. This fight is against Hindutva. Hindutva is bigotry,” said IAMC advocacy director Ajit Sahi, participating in the discussion. “If Indian democracy goes down, it will have a terrible effect around the world, including the United States.”

NO MUSLIMS ARE IN DANGER IN INDIA.THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST PEACE AND ANTI INDIA will definitely get punished .
In past one year there has been 100 or more killing of Hindus in India in the name of blasphemy... mf's if you really were about human rights, you would never use word human and muslim in same sentence
This organisation lacks authenticity about its existence as dozens of minor and major exploitations are happening in this world and they have not intervened in any such issue before. This is more like a propaganda to tarnish the image of India republic outside and inside to fulfill the agenda of various groups.
Garlanding hindu lynchers by BJP ministers/leaders is certainly a proof.
How many lynchers have been even arrested?
How many houses of hindus have been taken down? How hav rapists, murderes, killers been released from jails by a state government? How and why names of places are being changed?
All old hindu temples are basically Buddhist places of worship and forcibly seized by Brahmins. The proofs are there but our Brahmin judges do not allow the admission of any claim. Why?
So, thank you who you so ever.
