After netizens protested against Islamists exploiting the platform to spread hate towards India, the mobile application Ghazwa-e-Hind was withdrawn from the Google Play store. The app says that Ghazwa-e-Hind, or the Final battle of India, is a term mentioned in “Good” Hadiths. In 2019, Google took two similar apps down after an uproar.

 

Taking the matter to Twitter Anshul Saxena had tweeted, “Ghazwa-e-Hind is on Google Play Store. How can @GooglePlay @GooglePlayDev allow radicalization on its platform? And, let me remind you that 2 apps of 'Ghazwa e Hind' were removed in 2019 then, how can Google Play Store allow such app again?”

 

Replying to this google play store informed me they removed the app from the play store.

 

According to the Ghazwa-e-Hind, there will be forces coming from Syria with black flags, who will march towards India, and they will conquer the country to convert it into an Islamic state.
