‘Naturally scared’: India’s Muslims denied public spaces for Eid prayers

In Meerut, India, Muslims gather in a small mosque to discuss arrangements for Eid al-Adha prayers, concerned about roadblocks and police permissions. Right-wing Hindu groups, emboldened by Narendra Modi's election, protest against public Muslim prayers. Fears are heightened by Maliyana's tragic history, where 72 Muslims were massacred in 1987, and police advisories urging Muslims to avoid public gatherings.
