Love Jihad

Love Jihad, also known as Romeo Jihad, is a term used to describe a supposed conspiracy theory in which Muslim men target non-Muslim women for conversion to Islam by feigning love. The term has been used to incite fear and hatred of Muslims in India and other countries. It has been used as a tool to fuel communal violence, increase religious polarization, and target vulnerable minority communities. The term Love Jihad has no basis in reality and is considered a hoax. There is no evidence that such a conspiracy exists. Scholars, activists, and government officials have denounced Love Jihad as a dangerous, fabricated narrative. In India, the government has launched investigations into the conspiracy theory, but has not found any evidence to support it. The term Love Jihad is used to evoke fear and hatred of Muslims, particularly in India. It is often used to further the Hindutva agenda – an ideology that seeks to make India a Hindu nation. Additionally, Love Jihad has been used to target other minority communities, such as Christians and Dalits.
