Attacks on Hindus and Hindu Dharma, both in Bharat and overseas, are frequent and unrelenting. In many regions of the world, this persecution is like a genocide slowly unfolding before our eyes. For decades, the world has ignored the actual depth and breadth of these attacks, driven by disturbing anti-Hindu bigotry. From murders, forced conversions, land grabs, assault on festivals, desecration of temples and murtis, hate speech, and sexual violence to institutionalised & legal discrimination, Hindus are facing an increasing assault on their very existence along with an unprecedented Hindu hatred.

In this weekly summary for the period from 31 May to 06 June 2026, we hope to provide a snapshot of such crimes and hopefully awaken more people around the world to this human rights crisis:

Bharat

1) Serious concerns are now being raised across Karnataka over the reported large-scale presence of illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators in Bengaluru and other parts of the state, with estimates suggesting that more than 20 lakh undocumented migrants may be residing illegally in Karnataka. The issue has once again ignited debate over national security, demographic imbalance, illegal settlements, and the alleged political protection extended to infiltrator networks operating within Bharat.

2) Bakrid 2026 should have been a moment of prayer, restraint, and respect for law. Instead, what many Hindus saw across several places in Bharat was a disturbing pattern of provocation, violence, and disregard for sacred sentiments, public order, and basic civic discipline. For a large section of the Hindu community, the issue is no longer only about one festival or one incident, but about a repeated failure to ensure that religious observance does not become an excuse for intimidation, disorder, or humiliation of others.

3) The Enforcement Directorate’s investigation into (TTI) has triggered wider scrutiny over the foreign church ecosystem involved in large-scale religious conversion operations across Bharat. The probe has brought attention not only to TTI’s financial structure but also to a broader international network of churches, denominational bodies and mission groups publicly associated with TTI’s church planting campaigns in Bharat.

4) A disturbing case from Kanpur has once again brought allegations of identity concealment, love jihad, sexual grooming, and exploitation into focus, after a Hindu student from the city’s southern zone was reportedly deceived by a Muslim man who hid his identity, married her, and later took her to Delhi, where she was allegedly sold. Reports describe the episode as a serious case of fraud and abuse that has shaken local residents.

5) Tamil Nadu Health Minister K.G. Arunraj of the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has strongly opposed the depiction of poet-saint Thiruvalluvar in saffron attire. Arunraj’s remarks came after a portrait or depiction of Thiruvalluvar in saffron robes — a color strongly associated with Hindu ascetic traditions and saffron politics — was featured during an event linked to the Governor. Arunraj, who also serves as TVK’s propaganda secretary, issued a detailed statement asserting that Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukkural represents universal moral and ethical principles meant for all humanity, not any single religious or cultural identity.

6) Dhanraj Maurya was assaulted and lynched by Asif, Sajid, Majid, Salim and others of their gang in Uttar Pradesh’s (UP) Balrampur on Bakri Eid. Dhanraj died during treatment. The mob also attacker Dhanraj’s family.

7) A shocking Love Jihad case has emerged from Vikasnagar in Uttarakhand’s Dehradun district, where a man named Danish has been arrested for allegedly raping a Hindu woman while hiding his Muslim identity and subsequently pressuring her to convert to Islam. The incident has sent ripples through the local community and prompted swift action from law enforcement authorities.

8) Tension gripped Narayanpet town in Telangana after a teenage Hindu girl’s death by suicide sparked protests and organizations alleging that the incident was a case of love jihad. Police, however, have stated that the allegations remain under investigation and have not been confirmed. The deceased teenager allegedly had a relationship with an 18-year-old youth identified as Fasiuddin. Following the girl’s death, police arrested the accused and produced him before a court, which remanded him to judicial custody. Authorities have registered a case against him on charges of abetment to suicide and under various provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

9) Devotees were left disappointed after the Yali Vahana procession scheduled as part of the Vaikasi Brahmotsavam at the Varadaraja Perumal Temple in Kanchipuram was cancelled. The controversy deepened after allegations surfaced on social media regarding the circumstances behind the cancellation. A devotee wrote on X alleging that when concerns were raised with officials of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department over the cancellation of the centuries-old Yali Vahana procession, they were informed that the decision had been taken on the instructions of HR&CE Minister Ramesh.

10) A former employee of Wipro Technologies has levelled serious allegations of workplace harassment, religious discrimination, and coercion against certain colleagues and officials at the company’s Pune office, raising concerns of Corporate Jihad. The woman has filed a complaint with the Hinjewadi Police Station and served a legal notice on the company, seeking reinstatement, compensation, and action against those she has named in her complaint.

Most hate crimes are driven by anti-Hindu bigotry encoded in certain religious teachings and political ideologies. While the anti-Hindu hate in Islamic countries is evident, there is another subtler form of anti-Hindu sentiment within institutions and the public sphere of ostensibly secular states (like India) that provides an enabling environment for Hinduphobia and hate crimes. This subtle, everyday discrimination can be missed unless one studies prevailing laws and patterns. The gradual ban on firecrackers during Diwali is a good example – it might seem pollution-related on the surface. Still, the double standards at play become apparent when one looks at the larger picture of restrictions on Hindu festivals and the lack of sound reasoning behind the ban.
