Atrocities on minorities: Ram Navami turns violent across India in April

The month of Ramzan was an important time for members of the Muslim community. It is supposed to be a time of self-reflection, a return to simplicity and complete submission to God. However, Muslims across India suffered through the month as atrocities built up as April progressed, especially on and after Ram Navami, when Hindutva groups turned violent.
This article is a part of Siasat.com’s hate-crime tracker which chronicles atrocities against Muslims in India. The tracker chronicles everything from verbal discrimination, assault and lynching/murder each month in the year, and a report will be published April 1: New Delhi: A man by the name Shailendra Pratap Singh Jadaun complained to airport authorities after he was “offended” by seeing an “unwanted black stone” in the common prayer hall of the airport premises. In a series of pictures uploaded on Facebook, Pratap called it an “illegal” practice and filed a complaint.
One Shailendra Pratap posted pictures of the Qibla sign pointing the direction of Namaz inside the prayer room at the Delhi airport. Apparently it outraged his religious sentiments. #Thread pic.twitter.com/YtfhhfSWqX — Alishan Jafri (@alishan_jafri) April 2, 2022 Also Read Delhi: Man ‘offended’ by Qibla sign in airport, files complaint April 4: Posters calling for a ban on Muslim traders during a Hindu fair were spotted in Karnataka, this time in the Chikkmanglur district of the state.
