Critics say that religious polarisation has increased in India since the BJP came to power. TV channels have held provocative debates and social media has seen rampant hate over the issue.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been a regular visitor to the region since coming to power in 2014. Another bright spot is the handling of the Ukraine crisis," former Indian diplomat Jitendra Nath Misra said. Not doing so, they say, runs the risk of damaging India's ties with the Arab world and Iran. Hate speech and attacks against Muslims have risen sharply since the BJP came to power in 2014. Millions of Indians live and work in these countries and send millions of dollars in remittances back home. Senior BJP leaders and other diplomats have also condemned the controversial statement. "The BJP strongly denounces insults of any religious personalities of any religion. The BJP is also against any ideology which insults or demeans any sect or religion.

Now, the country is paying the price for their retrograde statements on Islam. Shame on them,” the Left leader said in a tweet. Rather than addressing their concerns, Modi et al were more afraid of a foreign backlash. “Twenty crore Indian Muslims’ religious beliefs were insulted. FRINGE is MAINSTREAM.
