| Summary: | This article discusses how zealots exploit the COVID-19 pandemic to amplify Islamophobia in India. Qualitative content analysis of publications, speeches, websites, news bulletins, periodicals, YouTube and social media reveals a surge of anti-Muslim rhetoric and activity. It highlights deliberate misinformation by campaigns and outrages. These include blaming Muslims for the contagion, denying them medical treatment, official justification by doctors to murder Muslim corona patients, and the vandalization, boycott and destruction of Muslim homes, stalls and shops — all under cover of
the COVID-19 lockdown. |
