The irony is that even leaders from PM Narendra Modi’s led BJP have warned Muslim men from participating in the events. They believe that men hide their identity and attend the events to lure Hindu girls.
In fact in the largest democratic country in the world, several instances of Muslim men beaten up have been reported this year in states like Gujarat and neighbouring Madhya Pradesh have come to light.
