Hate speech in India

Hate speech in India is the use of language or actions that promote discrimination, hostility, or hatred against individuals or groups based on their identities, such as religion, caste, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or political affiliation. India's diverse population of over 1.3 billion people and complex social and political landscape make it vulnerable to hate speech and incitement to violence, which have become increasingly prominent in recent years.^[1][2]
