Our take: The major worry about this law was that it will introduce a definite line of divide between the two religions, that was once drawn out by the British who ruled over India for over 150 years which ultimately culminated into a fateful partition of the country.These worries have been proved right by right wing extremists on social media posting content disseminating hate with the intention to increase animosity against the Muslim community, pointing towards a perilous state of affairs in the near future itself if the law is enforced.
A few recent tweets reflecting “Hindu hate-pride” that reeks in the new law and has prompted such tweets from right wing rationalists:
