Love Jihad, a term common these days, gets cases reported from across Bharat regularly. Since the term was first coined, many so-called “intellectuals” have attempted to frame it as fake and false time and again. By definition, Love Jihad is a well-tried practice where Muslim men use false Hindu names to trap a Hindu woman to convert her to Islam. Reports announcing benefits and rewards for those bringing a “Kaffir” to Islam have also been common. Organiser has been reporting and following this pattern, spreading like wildfire across Bharat. Now that the calendar for the year 2024 has ended, let us take a round-up to see how many such cases have been reported so far.
Organiser could trace as many as 200 reported cases of this pattern, involving Muslim men posing as Hindus or Muslim women forcing Hindu men to convert upon marriage. These are the reported cases, and with this intensity, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the actual crime could be five times higher on the ground than what is reported here.
