Since the BJP-led government came to power in 2014, reports of hate crimes targeting Muslims in India have increased significantly. According to the project’s analysis, approximately 85% of these incidents involve individuals affiliated with the BJP or allied Hindu organizations. The project also documents cases in which victims reported inadequate or hostile responses from law enforcement authorities when seeking assistance.
This initiative seeks to systematically document hate crimes committed against India’s Muslim community, which is estimated to number around 200 million people. For each reported incident, the database records key details, including the date, location, alleged motive, victims, alleged perpetrators, and legal or administrative response. The information is organized into a searchable, analytical database designed to support journalists, researchers, policymakers, and human rights organizations in understanding patterns of violence and accountability.
The project aims to provide a reliable and comprehensive record of reported incidents, promote public awareness, and contribute to informed discussions on measures to address violence and discrimination against Muslims in India.
Hate Crimes Database – June 2026
The records below document hate crimes reported during June2026. The database will be updated regularly to incorporate new information, verify existing records, and ensure the data remains as accurate, comprehensive, and current as possible.
