Hindu genocide

{{Bronze}}{{conspiracynav}}{{hinduism}}
'''Hindu genocide''' is a grand [[genocide conspiracy]] contrived by the [[Hindutva|Hindu far-right]] that alleges ''[[Persecution complex|हिन्दू ख़तरे में है]]'' (''Hindu khatre mein hai'' "Hindus are in danger") — not from the [[BJP|groups that exploit them through paranoia for political benefit]], but rather the [[Muslim]]s, [[Christian]]s, [[communist]]s, and the [[Westerner]]s who are allegedly wanting to “destroy [[India]]” because of their jealousy of Indian culture.

[[Hindu nationalist]]s live in this make-believe world where all the [[communist]]s, [[liberal]]s, [[Christian]]s, [[Muslim]]s, and [[Westerner]]s of the world [[Jonanism|live in harmony]]. All, except for themselves, of course. This aggressive [[Persecution complex|victimisation complex]] creates a [[framing]] to systematically downplay and justify Hindu nationalist [[crime]]s such as [[hate speech]] and [[hate crime]]s under [[Victim blaming|the pretence of self-defence]] and garner popular support among the [[Hinduism|Hindus]] who are the majority religious group in India. If this sounds at least a tad bit familiar, it is because it has very little differences from [[white genocide]] theories, [[ironic]] for people claiming to hate Western influences. Similar to Russian Eurasianism, replace "immigrants" with "Muslims" and "DA JOOZ" with "the West".

==Everything is ''Jihad''!==
{{main|Jonanism}}
Under the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP), the [[Overton window]] has shifted so far to the right that the media is able to be openly [[bigot]]ed.

===Population Jihad===
[[File:India fertility rates.png|500px|right|thumb|Fertility rates of Muslims have fallen the most. India's own National Family Health Survey tells a similar story; as of NFHS-2019-2022, Muslim fertility rate is now down to 2.36<ref>https://theprint.in/india/fact-vs-fiction-national-family-health-survey-busts-some-myths-about-muslims-in-india/966513/</ref>]]
Population jihad is when Muslims breed more children than Hindus in order to achieve an Islamic India.

The myth tries to imply a major demographic change in the future by pointing towards the higher fertility rate of Muslims as compared to Hindus: 2.6 births per woman compared to the Hindus’ 2.1 (as per 2015 India's {{wpl|National Family Health Survey|NFHS|).}}<ref name=kramer>https://www.pewforum.org/2021/09/21/religious-composition-of-india/</ref> But this ignores the sheer difference in the size of population between the two communities. In 1951, there were 269 million more Hindus than Muslims;<ref>{{wpa|1951 Census of India#Religious demographics}}</ref> that gap '''increased''' to 800 million by 2011.<ref>{{wpa|2011 Census of India#Religious demographics}}</ref> Among all religious groups, Muslims have seen the greatest decline in fertility rates, from 4.4 to 2.6.<ref name=kramer/>

[[File:India's population forecast based on 2001-11 growth rates.png|left|thumb|At the 2011 consensus fertility rates (when the fertility difference between Hindus and Muslims was even higher), Muslims will overtake Hindus in 2220, making India's population 4.5 times the current global population. An absurd scenario.]]
Even without considering the decline in fertility rates (contrary to Hindutva claims, the fertility rate among Muslims in India has dropped by nearly half between 1993 and 2020),<ref>{{Cite web |title=Contrary to Hindutva Claims, India’s Muslim Fertility Rate is Declining Sharply |url=https://thediplomat.com/2022/05/contrary-to-hindutva-claims-indias-muslim-fertility-rate-is-declining-sharply/ |access-date=2022-07-14 |website=thediplomat.com |language=en-US}}</ref> according to the 2011 consensus' growth rates, Muslims with a growth rate of 2.2% are expected to catch up with Hindus with a growth rate of only 1.4% by 2220… in '''''around 200 years'''''.<ref name=shoaib>https://scroll.in/article/705283/five-charts-that-puncture-the-bogey-of-muslim-population-growth</ref>

If this still doesn't convince you to not start killing Muslims or practice [[eugenics]],{{efn|See the [[RationalWiki]] article on [[Hindutva#Eugenics|Hindutva § Eugenics]].}} even if the fertility rates of Muslims and Hindus were ''not'' to converge and remain the same throughout those 200 years, by the time Muslims overtake Hindus, the population of India would be ''3,264 crore'' (32.64 billion). For comparison, the 2022 population of India is 138 crore (1.38 billion) and the entire population of the world is 790 crore (7.90 billion); meaning that India's population would have to be more than ''four times the world population'' by then.<ref name=shoaib/> Clearly an impossible scenario, unless Earth becomes an {{wpl|Ecumenopolis|ecumenopolis}} — and a world population (never mind India) required for such a thing would require interstellar travel and expansion, colossal engineering we can’t even imagine with today’s technology, the colonization of several new planets dedicated entirely to food production, and ''a lot'' of immigration to Earth from [[Alien|other civilizations]] (should any exist).

After taking into account the rapidly converging fertility rates, the Muslim share in the population is estimated to stabilize at 18.4%;<ref>https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/04/21/by-2050-india-to-have-worlds-largest-populations-of-hindus-and-muslims/</ref> far from the doomsday scenarios demanding [[Nazi]] [[eugenics]] and [[ethnic cleansing]].

===Jihadi nexus/Muslim appeasement===
If Muslims were indeed “united”, one would suppose they would be well, or even over-represented in the parliament.

However, in the 1980 election, almost 10% of those elected were Muslim; in 2014, it dropped to less than 4%.<ref>https://qz.com/india/1617067/indian-election-2019-why-few-muslims-make-it-to-the-lok-sabha/</ref> This is despite making up 14% of the population.

Now the entire parliament is overwhelmingly Hindu, and yet Hindus are still believed to be in ''khatre''.

Excluding [[Kashmir]], one of only two Muslim-majority territories in India (the other being Lakshadweep), there has not been a single Muslim chief minister who has completed a full term since independence. Now, even the Jammu and Kashmir assembly has been completely dissolved after the [[Narendra Modi#Repealing of Article 370|abrogation of article 370]].{{citation needed}}

Muslims aren't the only marginalised community in India, that is true. But those other communities, such as Dalits and Adivasis, have been given reservations in many areas, while Muslims have not. Muslims and Christians have been excluded from the Scheduled Castes list, even though they also have caste divisions. Other minorities such as [[Buddhists]] and [[Sikhs]] have been included in the list.<ref>[https://thewire.in/communalism/sudarshan-news-tv-show-upsc-jihad-suresh-chavhanke-fact-check A List of All the False Claims Made in Sudarshan TV's 'UPSC Jihad' Show: The aired episodes have used misinformation to legitimise dangerous conspiracy theories, finds Alt News.] by Pooja Chaudhuri (24/Sep/2020) ''The Wire''.</ref>

===Economic Jihad===

There is no Muslim domination in any market.

Muslims are among the worst-off social groups in India, having

====Boycotting====
Despite Muslims being generally economically worse off than Hindus in India, some Hindu nationalists have advocated boycotting some of the poorest business owners in India, Muslim street vendors.<ref>[https://thewire.in/communalism/hindutva-ecosystem-muslim-fruit-sellers-threat-india The 'Hindutva Ecosystem' Has a New Anti-Muslim Narrative.

===Land Jihad===
Land Jihad is the conspiracy theory that Muslims buy land from Hindus to make major areas Muslim-dominated.
{{cquote|While Hindus are continuously selling properties… Muslims are buying them… their culture, thoughts and way of life are different from ours. It starts with one house and slowly, the whole area will become Muslim-dominated.

The concern is completely absurd given that Muslims own less land than any other social group, except for some other minorities.<ref name=dey/> Many of the examples of cities with high Muslim populations are not moves dictated by a secret jihadi nexus of [[Indian alt-right glossary#Chrislamocommie|Chrislamocommies]], but rather due to social ostracisation and ghettoisation of Muslims by Hindus themselves.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0308518X17696071</ref><!--[ ] Elaborate.-->

{{cquote|In five years, I have stopped 25 such Hindu-Muslim property transactions in many areas. [...] On Sunday, local volunteers told me about an agitation in Chahashor mohalla and I reached there before the police. We made sure that the Muslim man did not take possession of the house.

===Media Jihad===
Akin to the Western conservatives’ concept of [[liberal bias]], the Indian alt-right also has its fair share of a similar persecution complex.
{{cquote|Being a youth in this country is like walking in a minefield. You never know which step will lead to a [[Liberal bias|leftist/liberal propaganda explosion]].<br/>

===Discrimination in other countries===
[[File:Minorites in Canada Reddit screenshot.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"I care about minorities suddenly."]]
Hindu hate crimes are one of the least prevalent in the USA; in 2020, there were 12 incidents against Hindus, compared to the 3886 against blacks, 134 against Muslims, and 72 against Sikhs. Moreover, religious hate crimes have actually decreased in the USA since 2019.<ref>https://crime-data-explorer.fr.cloud.gov/pages/explorer/crime/hate-crime</ref><ref>https://scroll.in/article/1006817/us-hate-crimes-fbi-ranked-anti-hindu-incidents-in-2020-at-the-low-end-of-35-faith-groups</ref>
Hindu Americans have the highest socioeconomic levels compared to any other religious groups in the US; furthermore, Indian-American Hindus tend to be more affluent than other (non-Hindu) Asian Americans.<ref name=mosaic>https://www.pewforum.org/2012/07/19/asian-americans-a-mosaic-of-faiths-overview/</ref><ref>https://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/income-distribution/</ref>
Of all the largest Asian-American religious groups, Hindus have the highest retention rate of keeping their religion; fully 81% of Asian Americans who were raised Hindu remain Hindu today.<ref name=mosaic/>

Hindus living in the West are not a discriminated minority; they don’t face any social or institutional threat to carry out their religious activities as some other minorities do. Nor are they the victim of any "Romeo Squads" or "Conversion Mafias".{{cn}}

Many Hindu nationalists were barred from professorship not because they were Hindus, but because they spread [[nationalist pseudohistory]].
