India’s Muslim Journalists Are Under Attack
As the mainstream media has consolidated behind the BJP, independent journalism in India has become a dangerous activity. And no group is more vulnerable than Muslim reporters.

In late February 2020, as the novel coronavirus was beginning to spread across the world, Delhi burned.
Shouting slogans while wielding guns, swords, iron rods, and stones, mobs of Hindus and Muslims turned parts of northeast Delhi into a warzone. Homes were destroyed, shops and cars scorched. A body was found in a canal with head injuries; another was stabbed several times. Many were shot, and some had their limbs cut. At least fifty-three people, more Muslims than Hindus, were killed.
