In the aftermath of the April 22 attack in Kashmir that resulted in multiple fatalities, incendiary songs have surged on platforms like YouTube, inciting Islamophobia. One particular song, "Pehle Dharam Pocha," promotes the idea that Muslims are conspiring against Hindus and should leave India. This song, alongside others that echo similar sentiments, contributes to a narrative of violence and division, reflecting the Hindutva ideology. With at least 20 such tracks identified, these songs have garnered substantial views and are resonating widely amid heightened tensions and political hostility against Muslims.
"These songs, part of a genre that has come to be known as Hindutva Pop, are calling for violent retribution for the attack."
