NEW DELHI — A recent video viral on social media shows Muslim girls being forced to sing Hindu prayers in Kashmir.
In the disturbing incident, Muslim girls from a local secondary school in Kashmir were being forced to recite Hindu prayers by their teachers.
The girls, all Muslim, were assembled during a morning assembly. Upon their refusal to recite Hindu prayers, they were reportedly threatened with expulsion from the school.
The incident has been widely condemned by Muslim civil society and human rights groups, with many calling for immediate action against the teachers and those responsible.
The video was shared by Muzammil Ayyub Thakur, an online Kashmir-based activist.
The Central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has actively been promoting a religious and political agenda based on Hindutva. The Kashmir incident is also being seen as part of the same campaign.
Thakur commented on X (formerly Twitter): “This is what we warned of. The question isn’t if the girls should have attended or engaged in this. The fact is, #India is forcing this down our children’s throats. There will be consequences.”
