Anti-Muslim violence is on a rise in India; there isn’t a day that goes by when one does not occur somewhere in the nation.

Even Ram Navami, which is supposed to be a celebration of peace and love, is now known for anti-Muslim violence due to the actions of some individuals.

On the day of Ram Navami, which is observed to celebrate the birthday of Lord Ram, about 20 anti-Muslim violent incidents have come to the fore in India.

In the guise of the Ram Navami processions, mischievous elements hurled stones at mosques and, in some cases, forcefully entered dargahs and raised the saffron flag.

The Muslim community has suffered greatly as a result of these events in Bengal and Gujarat, with numerous videos showing harm to Muslim cars and homes.
