In 2025, India witnessed 1318 verified in-person hate speech events, marking a 97% surge since 2023. The report documents how conspiracy theories like “Love Jihad” and “Land Jihad” are no longer just slogans but the basis for legislative action. Genocide Watch has maintained India at Stage 8 (Persecution), noting that the “othering” of 200 million Muslims and 30 million Christians has reached a fever pitch. The 2025 report specifically highlights a 41% increase in anti-Christian rhetoric, signaling that the majoritarian project is widening its net of “internal enemies.”India stands at a crossroads. Without a radical shift toward legal accountability, the so-called world’s largest democracy risks becoming its most cautionary tale.
