Conclusion

represents a deeply troubling chapter marked by a spate of violent assaults and killings targeting the Hindu community in various parts of Bharat. Many Hindus feel a growing sense of vulnerability and injustice, as these attacks often involved brutal group violence, family and property disputes, and at times, outright communal aggression. The recurrence of such incidents within a short time frame has intensified a collective concern over community safety, religious freedom, and justice.

Amid this climate of fear, the Hindu community’s call is for stronger law enforcement, faster delivery of justice, and for the protection of vulnerable groups whose lives are increasingly at risk during times of heightened social tension. The sense of injustice is exacerbated by lapses in timely intervention and inadequate judicial outcomes.
