Islamophobia and the Uyghur Crisis

This chapter examines the chilling reality of Islamophobia through the lens of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang, China, detailing severe human rights violations and the systematic dismantling of their identity. The speakers shed light on the manipulation of historical narratives by states to justify violence and highlight the urgent need for global advocacy against these atrocities. By drawing parallels with historical narratives in India, the chapter critiques the selective histories that undermine the significance of Muslim identities and perpetuate ethno-nationalist rhetoric.
