However, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that he is not aware of any such particular request from Israel.

At an event attended by the Uttarakhand CM, priest Dhirendra Shastri made incendiary comments against Muslims. These found no mention in the newspapers.

After Ramesh Bidhuri's slurs against Danish Ali went viral, some of us Muslims expressed a deep sense of astonishment and others, the total lack of it. Indian Muslims have fallen short of accurate vocabulary to describe the everyday humiliations we face.

Since July 31, farmers have held three major meetings in the region to counter the communal build-up in Haryana. Besides, over 20 Khap panchayat meetings have been held since anti-Muslim violence rocked Nuh and Gurugram.

Farmer Naresh Tikait met the victim’s family and told the media that he'll get the FIR registered against the teacher expunged.

'I have declared that all those Muslim children should be…(inaudible),' the teacher, can be heard saying in the 40-second-long viral video.

While communal tensions in the areas have been on the rise for the past two years, protests in Nuh against cow vigilantism – including by Muslim families of victims – escalated after the killing of Junaid and Nasir.

A campaign by Hindutva supporters to drive out supposedly 'illegal' Muslim shopkeepers and vendors from the state comes along with various kinds of attempts, coupled with the government's inaction against hate campaigners in the state, in creating fear among Muslims in the state.

Sanjay Soni, or @Cyber_Huntss, had claimed on Twitter that Hindu women’s personal data was being sold to Muslims after the Zivame data breach. Now, the Rajasthan police have arrested him in the case and accused him of leaking the data, as well as promoting enmity.

Three years ago, angry at the arrest of his activist father as part of Adityanath's crackdown against the anti-CAA protests, a teenager had written to the CM. Now, Sufi has scored full marks in his CBSE political science exam. His opinions haven't changed.

Talk on the ban is a distant conversation when there's an immediate need for the disincentivisation of anti-Muslim hate that offers economic, social and political advantages to so many people.

The prime minister's social media accounts have several videos and posts criticising rival parties in Karnataka, but none about the law and order situation in Kashmir and Manipur.

Four years ago, Zakir Hussain learnt that his son Salim had been abducted from his residence in Abu Dhabi. Now all he knows is that Salim is in a UAE prison. What are the accusations? He doesn't know.

All three appear to have some sort of criminal record. The most high-profile on social media is Lovlesh Tiwari, whose bio says he is not a Shaastra-wala Brahmin but a shastra-wala Brahmin (not scriptures, but arms).

The main accused, Sanjay Jaat, has a previous criminal record, police said. Jaat told 'The Wire' that he was being framed by cow smugglers.

Political weaponisation of fake news and hate speech via ‘viral’ videos helped in pushing a polarising narrative in Bihar. Only one side stood to benefit.

Punit Kerehalli, one of the five accused in the murder of Idris Pasha, is the president of a well known Hindutva group which had earlier been vocal about stopping Muslim vendors from selling wares outside temples.

Zubair said that while he usually ignores or laughs off the torrent of abuse he receives, the flurry calling for violence against him increased after Alt News busted misleading propaganda about ‘fatal attacks’ on migrant workers from Bihar in Tamil Nadu.

Online car ownership records show that the car in question belongs to the Haryana Panchayat and Development department. Though police told The Wire that it has been 'auctioned off' recently, serious questions about possible linkages of this car with non-state actors calling themselves gau-rakshaks publicly on video have emerged. 

For so many young Indian Muslims today, social media feeds have begun looking like a visitors' diary outside a busy graveyard.
