Significant human and economic losses to the Muslim population in northern New Delhi as a result of the wave of forced displacement and displacement caused by Hindu extremists recently, at a time when Islamic charities are trying to relief the affected people and restore mosques and properties.

Sectarian violence in the Indira Vihar district, northeast of the Indian capital, has killed more than 30 people, and many Muslims have lost their businesses and trades, and have severely affected low-income people who depend on daily income from their businesses.

Shabana Paven tells us about her suffering, as she owns a small sewing shop and her daughter helps her, but the extremists burned her shop, and says her total capital does not exceed $ 200 to start again and in another safe area.

Muhammad Harun, who used to own a clothing store and a sewing workshop, also tells us that the extremists stormed his shop, stole and looted all the machinery and goods that were in their hands, then burned it completely.

As for Muhammad Khatib Allah, who supports six people and works as a driver, they burned his house after looting it, and he says, "What happens after I lose my job and my house?"

Organized attack
International reports indicate that Muslims and homes are targeted systematically and deliberately. More than 200 homes, 100 shops and 500 vehicles were targeted during these events, as well as attacks on 8 mosques, an Islamic school and a large number of stores, causing losses estimated at more than $ 30 billion. .

With the intense intertwining of neighborhoods between Muslims and Hindus, Muslim shops were targeted very carefully, at a time when elegant Hindu homes and shops are still next to burned and destroyed Muslim homes and homes.

Here, Mr. Munther, who lives in the Indira Vihar neighborhood, says, "We do not know whether the aggressors were from the neighborhood or outside it, because they were masked." He asks, "How can outsiders target Muslim homes and shops with such accuracy if they do not receive assistance from within the neighborhood?" ".

He added that 15 years ago he came to the area to sell food on a cart, until he was able to buy a house that he shared with his brother's family, but that in one day the house turned into a burning pile.

In a video circulating, extremists gather at the beginning of their attack, as they attacked a chicken store in the "Khajuri Private" area in the evening, then they returned to it and burned it completely, and before dawn the next day they went to the owner's house and burned it.

In another video, the extremists targeted a drug store, robbed its contents, and destroyed it, while another house and a gym appear in the house of one of the targeted Muslims in the Shiv Vihar neighborhood. The house was completely burned, but the family fled through an opening in the roof of the house outside.

Informational speech
With these bloody events, hostile and racist rhetoric in the media and social media platforms is increasing, calling on Hindus to boycott Muslims commercially, forcing Muslims to flee areas where racism is increasing, while others are forced to hide their identities.

Government media portray the events as if they were only minor frictions, and urge the return of peace between the population in general, while Muslims complain of being subjected to an organized massacre by Hindu extremists.

On the other hand, there is a ray of hope with the emergence of many calls on social media to collect donations for those affected, which received a strong response from Muslims in India in general in general, as well as from Hindus and other religions.

Among the charitable societies that are based on donations is the Islamic Group in India, whose branches have called for fundraising, and have carried out relief campaigns in partnership with Indian community societies, while a study is being prepared on the cost of restoring damaged mosques and Islamic schools.
