In this fast-moving world, a vast number of critical stories and vital information, particularly those concerning targeted attacks on the Hindu community, are frequently minimised, suppressed, or dismissed by sections of the so-called mainstream media as mere propaganda. The onus, therefore, lies with us at Organiser, the nation’s oldest nationalist weekly, which has historically stood as the uncompromising voice of Hindus facing systemic hostility, detention, physical attacks, and worse.
Organiser has never wavered in its commitment to addressing the legitimate concerns and security fears of Hindus. We are starting this new weekly series to track targeted attacks against Hindus occurring not only across Bharat but also globally. This series will not merely document the attacks; it will also highlight the resistance, the community uprisings, and the voices of the unheard victims.
This first report is a chilling compilation of cases tracked last week, detailing incidents of targeted attacks against Hindus worldwide. These cases collectively reveal a troubling, discernible pattern, which includes the sacrilege and desecration of temples, the exploitation and assault of Hindu women through deceit and coercion, and the murder of community members and activists.
A Case You Should Know: A gruesome case has left Kanpur stunned, police have arrested a man identified as Mohammed Wahid, who had allegedly been living under the false Hindu identity of “Rohit”, for the murder of a Hindu woman with whom he had been in a live-in relationship for eight years. The crime surfaced after neighbours in the Laxmipurwa area under Raipurwa police station limits complained of a foul odour emanating from the couple’s rented accommodation. When police arrived on November 1, they discovered the decomposing body of the woman, later identified as Archana alias Bharti Gautam, hidden under the bed and covered with clothes in an attempt to conceal it. A forensic team was called in to collect evidence, and the body was subsequently sent for post-mortem examination.
According to the police, Wahid had been living with the victim under the name “Rohit” for nearly a decade, successfully concealing his real identity from neighbours. The truth emerged only when investigators recovered his Aadhaar card, revealing his actual name as Mohammed Wahid. During interrogation, Wahid confessed to strangling Archana with a dupatta on the night of October 29, following a heated argument, and then hiding her body under the cot before fleeing the scene.

What this week’s tracking unequivocally reveals is a disturbing pattern of tactical violence: from the political assassination of activists like Nilesh Rajak and the fatal assault on a priest’s son, Ramchandra Ghosal, to organized cash for conversion rackets offering Rs 25,000 to coerce the poor, and the widespread use of false identities (like ‘Rohit’ or ‘Shyam’) to groom and exploit Hindu women and minors. The impunity suggested by the alleged cover-up in the Daund minor rape case, the successful operations of terror networks netting three madrasa clerics in Rajasthan, and the fatal violence against Hindu individuals over minor disputes (as seen with Suraj Verma and Jignesh Chaudhary) underscore a crucial demand: Accountability must replace appeasement.
These incidents, occurring from the lanes of Mumbai and the tribal belts of Chhattisgarh to academic halls in New Jersey and refugee claims from Bangladesh, confirm that the challenge to Hindu safety and religious freedom is global, multi-faceted, and deeply organised. The voices suppressed, the women abused, and the community members murdered are a testament to the fact that while the world rushes on, a dedicated effort is required to ensure that justice for the most vulnerable does not become another buried story, but Organiser will keep bringing such stories for its readers.
