Islamophobia: The Manufactured Illness of Sick Indian Hindutvavādins

The article critically examines the rise of Islamophobia in India as a constructed phenomenon driven by Hindutva ideology. The author argues that Hindutva, a politico-religious movement, systematically manufactures Islamophobia to consolidate Hindu nationalist power, portraying Muslims as existential threats through narratives of “love jihad,” demographic invasion, and terrorism. Drawing on postcolonial and psychoanalytic frameworks, the article traces this “illness” to colonial legacies, RSS propaganda, and media amplification, which dehumanize Muslims and justify violence against them. It highlights the socio-political consequences, including mob lynchings, discriminatory laws like the CAA-NRC, and the marginalization of Muslim voices. The piece critiques the complicity of India’s ruling elite and calls for dismantling Hindutva’s divisive rhetoric through inclusive dialogue and resistance to nationalist hegemony, warning of democracy’s erosion if unchecked.
