A disturbing attack on a Muslim child in India
A classroom video circulating online appears to show an 8-year-old boy attacking a 6-year-old Muslim girl. He slams her head against a desk, kicks her and throws a brick toward her head. The footage is deeply disturbing.
JFA has been told that the boy is from a Hindu family. The attack must be investigated, and the wider climate in which children absorb messages about religion and identity must also be taken seriously. As Hindu-supremacist narratives and anti-Muslim hostility spread in India, the country must confront how this rhetoric can shape the next generation.
Watch the video with caution: It contains disturbing content.
