Intolerance and Fear: Muslim Shop Owners Targeted in Uttarakhand

Muslim shop owners in Uttarakhand, India, have received an ultimatum from Hindu neighbors to vacate their shops by June 15. Notices were pasted on Muslim-owned shops, warning of dire consequences if not complied with. Muslim traders are now afraid to open their shops, with some leaving the town. This rising islamophobia is spreading to other cities in the state, making India a dangerous place for religious minorities.
