Hinduphobia Tracker – A database of Anti-Hindu Hate Crimes

To document the incidents of hate crimes against Hindus in India and abroad, a Hinduphobia Tracker has been launched. The Hinduphobia Tracker has published a database of religiously motivated hate crimes against Hindus, with an accompanying explanation for each case as to what makes the case a hate crime, driven by religious animosity. Hate Crimes against women in relationships and sexual crimes Attack not resulting in death Attack on Hindu religious symbols Restriction/ban on Hindu practices Hate speech against Hindus Predatory Proselytisation Hindu Men attacked for being associated with non-Hindu women Attacks resulting in death All categories have been meticulously defined using international conventions and standards and parameters set for how crimes would be evaluated under each category, to determine if the case is a religiously motivated hate crime. Hate speech against Hindus often includes the denial and/or mocking of historical and/or ongoing persecution, subversion of scriptures, promotion of and/or call for direct/indirect violence, support for targeted and directed violence, calls for the eradication of sections of Hindus using ideological euphemisms, glorification of perpetrators of religiously targeted hate crimes against Hindus, dog-whistling against Hindus – individuals or groups of Hindus, doxxing based on religious identity and/or opinions, caricaturing groups and/or sects of Hindus to legitimize their stigmatization/dehumanization/large scare violence, mocking and/or denigrating symbols and/or representatives of faith, fake news targeted against Hindus with the aim to stigmatise Hindus, misrepresentation/fake news to paint Hindus as the perpetrators/aggressors based on bias and/or prejudice and more. At release, the Hinduphobia Tracker database has recorded 1,314 religiously motivated hate crimes against Hindus since 1st January 2023.
