BJP and Congress clash over foreign interference allegations at Bharat Summit 2026

What's behind this

The Hindu Hate Watch weekly tracker for the week of July 27‑August 02 2026 recorded 43 cases of alleged attacks on Hindus, Hindu religious places and symbols, allegations of religious coercion and conversion, threats against Hindu families and controversies over remarks and representations concerning Hindu.
