Hindu subjected to violent threats as Islamic terror group threatens to forcibly islamise India
Pakistan 
13 December, 2025
Case Summary
Hindus of India were targeted with violent threats of forced Islamisation of India by Pakistan's Islamic terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The accused threatened the 'Ghazwa-e-Hind' war against India. Ghazwa-e-Hind is an Islamic fantasy that refers to the complete conquest of India by invading Islamic forces. This term has been used by Pakistani terrorists and Islamic zealots against India for decades. The concept of Ghazwa-e-Hind is rooted in several works of Islamic literature named Hadiths. The doctrine predicts an onslaught upon the citizens of India by Islamist forces and their takeover of them. The doctrine prophesies a pitched battle between Hindus and Muslims before the supposed 'day of judgement' (qayamat), resulting in a decisive victory of Muslims over Hindu India. A video of the LeT organisation's terrorist, Abdul Rauf, surfaced on the internet, in which he expressed his desire to make Delhi his "bride." In the video, terrorist Abdul Rauf said, "Those who say that Kashmir is finished, dust on their faces. Insha Allah, not only Kashmir, Islam will spread to the entire world. Even today, the movement in Kashmir is the same as it was before. It is stronger than that. I have bigger news than this. Insha Allah, Makki Sahib used to say sitting here that we will make Delhi our bride. Ghazwa-e-Hind will happen." Terrorist Rauf also targeted the Indian military, stating that weapons like the Rafale, S-400, and drones were nothing compared to them. He said that the Indian Air Force would no longer dare to enter Pakistani airspace, as Pakistan is a nuclear power.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
This case has been added to the tracker under the primary category- Hate Speech against Hindus. The subcategory selected is- Violent Threats. Violent threats, explicit, implicit or implied, is the most dangerous form of hate speech since it goes beyond discriminatory and prejudicial language to express the intent of causing harm to an individual or a group of people based on their religious identity and faith. There could be several different kinds of threats that are issued to Hindus based on religious animosity. An explicit threat would mean the direct threat of violence towards an individual Hindu, a group of Hindus or Hindus at large. Physical violence, death threats, threats of destruction of property belonging to Hindus and threats of genocide would mean explicit threats against Hindus for their religious identity. Implicit threats may not be a direct threat but implied through the use of symbols of actions – for example – in the Nupur Sharma case, other than explicit threats, there were also implicit threats when Islamists took to the streets to burn and beat her effigies. It implies that they want to do the same to Nupur Sharma – thereby is considered an implicit threat. Violent threats can be delivered in person, through letters, phone calls, graffiti, or increasingly through social media and other online platforms. It would be important to understand that a threat – explicit or implicit, online or offline – to an individual who happens to be a Hindu does not qualify as a religiously motivated threat. Such a threat, while vile and dangerous, could be owing to non-religious reasons and/or personal animosity. To qualify as a religiously motivated threat, it would need to exhibit an indication that the individual is being targeted for religious reasons and/or owing to his/her religious identity as a Hindu. This incident stands as a glaring example of hate speech and violent threats directed squarely at the Hindu community. The content, tone, and context of the accused's words reveal a deliberate attempt to incite fear, provoke communal discord, and incite violence against Hindus. Such actions pose a direct threat to the safety, dignity, and very existence of Hindus. Firstly, the accused, Abdul Rauf, issued violent threats invoking Ghazwa-e-Hind towards Hindus in India. "Ghazwa-e-Hind" is inherently anti-Hindu because it transcends mere political opposition and amounts to direct incitement to violence and extermination of the entire Hindu community in India through forced Islamisation. The doctrine entails the destruction of Hindu temples, the rape and forced conversion of Hindu women, and the killing or forced conversion of Hindu men. Such language goes beyond free speech and enters the realm of incitement to violence, which constitutes one of the most egregious forms of hate speech. The accused's statements reveal a deeply entrenched hatred towards India, which, as a Hindu-majority nation, effectively means hatred towards Hindus themselves. Secondly, the foundation of the Partition of India and the creation of Pakistan rested on the belief that Islam constituted a separate nation incompatible with a Hindu-majority India. This separation was premised on the idea that Muslims owed loyalty primarily to the global Muslim community, the ummah, rather than the nation-state. In this context, the accused’s threats against India seek to galvanise Muslims worldwide against the so-called ‘kafir’ Hindus of India. His rhetoric aims to unite the Muslim ummah in a militant confrontation targeting India as a Hindu-majority country. This hostility towards India thus embodies a profound and systemic hatred of the Hindu community, as Muslim extremists view India as a Hindu collectivity; henceforth, any statement calling for Islamisation of India is anti-Hindu by default. Hence, this case epitomises intense anti-Hindu hate speech, the ideological roots of which have directly resulted in violence and discrimination against Hindus in both India and neighbouring Islamic countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh. The incitement to violence, the call for forced religious conversion, and the targeted violent threat against the Hindu community clearly reveal a deep-seated religious hatred that far transcends political rhetoric and constitutes a grave form of communal hate speech. Such speeches stem from profound animosity towards the Hindu community and their faith. Accordingly, this case has been added to the hate crime database of the Hinduphobia Tracker. Disclaimer: The Hinduphobia Tracker records the date of incidents based on when the speech or action actually took place, rather than when it is reported by the media. However, in this particular case, media reports did not specify the exact date when the accused issued the violent threat against Hindus. Therefore, for the purpose of documentation, we are using the date when the incident was first reported by the media, which is 14th December 2025. This date is being used as an indicative date of the incident for recording and analytical purposes.
