Description
Summary:[...]BJP's constant reference to the violent and gender discriminatory practice of triple talaq feeds into the imagination that the Muslim community is conservative and violent, creating fractures within the community and legitimising the targeted violence against the men of the community in beef cases or fabricated terror cases. [...]as soon as this government came to power, it criminalised beef consumption and trading, and failed to rein in the increasing number of right-wing cow vigilantes. [...]protectionist agenda not only led to social segregation between the majority and minority communities, but also had an impact on the lives of Muslim women, whose mobility was further restricted within the walls of their homes.
