This statistic represents the number of hate crimes reported in India from 2010 to 2018. As seen in the graph, 2018 saw the highest reported hate crimes with 92 cases in the country.
Hate crimes are crimes are committed against a person not because of what a person might have done, but because of their real or perceived membership of a particular group such as religion, caste or ethnicity. Reports of religion-based hate-crimes have spiked in India since the pro-Hindu nationalist government of Narendra Modi came to power in 2014. However, the government does not record religion-based crimes as separate offenses and so does not provide official data on the category.
