Amnesty challenges new Indian government to protect minority rights

The UK delegation called for action against threats and violence targeting Muslims without stigmatizing rhetoric.

CAIR’s report documented 8,061 complaints received in 2023, its highest total in 30 years; complaints are not adjudicated violations.

The report compiled police and anti-discrimination agency data, providing evidence for oversight while not capturing every experience.

The minister presented 2023 registrations to Parliament; the figures support scrutiny but are not specific only to Islamophobia.

HRW cited gaps in data, a working definition and institutional support, urging recognition of anti-Muslim hostility as racism.

Amira Elghawaby’s office documented policy advice, community engagement and education initiatives; the report did not claim the problem was solved.

A civil-society report documented rising recorded incidents and gaps in official responses; recorded cases are not every experience.

Amnesty documented exclusion of Muslim women and girls from sport and urged authorities and sports bodies to end restrictions.

CAIR reported 4,951 complaints, 69% above the same period in 2023; these reflected organizational intake.

HRW analyzed speeches and urged action against hate speech, discriminatory policies and violence.
