For decades before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections Hindus were blamed for killing minorities (read Muslims), and during Modi1 the term lynching caught on. What is ignored is hate crime by Muslims, its nature and extent.
Based on published media reports this compilation gives instances when Muslims killed Hindus on issues like road scuffle, marrying a Muslim girl, marriage procession in front of mosque, cattle smuggling etc.
The purpose of this compilation is not to provoke the followers of Indian Religions into taking revenge but only to put matters in perspective.
This compilation is inspired by the ground reports of Swati Goel of Swarajyamag. Maximum care is taken in compiling data, errors if any are inadvertent and unintended. If you find errors please write in with your view and published source.
The format is simple – title refers to event and year, brief information about why killed and data source. Period covered 2017-2019. The first three killings pertain to earlier periods but were very disturbing.
1 Guru Govind Singhji 1708
Severely stabbed by two Pathan boys.
Guruji reached Nanded in August 1707. Banda Bahadur was sent to Punjab to chastise Vazir Khan of Sirhind. On the other hand Vazir Khan was also plotting against the Guru’s life. Two Pathan boys, who were in the service of the Guru, were set on him. One day finding him alone, they severely stabbed him in August 1708. He knew his end had come. On October 7, 1708 Guruji walked into a funeral pyre that he set for himself.

I recharged my batteries to compile this. My thoughts are best echoed by what Dr Ambedkar wrote on the last page of his 1941 book, Thoughts on Pakistan, “These are the reasons why I have addressed so a large part of the argument to the Hindus. A thick and impervious wall of false sentiments and false illusions has prevented the Hindus are receiving fresh light. I do not know how far I have succeeded in making breeches in the wall to let in light in the dark places. I am satisfied that I have done my duty.” Pg 352
