A recent surge in overt racism against Indians has been observed on Twitter, with users reporting an increase in racist direct messages and replies. This wave of racism is noted to be a new phenomenon, occurring almost daily. Some attribute this rise to both far-left and far-right groups, with the former mainstreaming negative stereotypes and the latter expressing them in crude ways. Hindu nationalist Twitter is also involved in this tension. Additionally, apolitical Indians, both abroad and in India, are calling out racism online. There is also tension between Indian nationalists and other groups on the platform, with accusations of unhinged behavior and death threats being exchanged.
Twitter was rigged for like a decade so Indian Nationalists could be unhinged with death threats towards everyone else but responses would be censored now that censorship is gone Indians regularly laugh off the extreme rhetoric deployed against Sikhs but it’s a bad look tbh https://t.co/9U3CSIp2bC https://t.co/LOgRFJTcMY

A lot of angst wignats have against Indians basically comes from people who they see as the lowest of humanity surpassing them in their home turf. It’s extremely jarring mentally for them resulting in cope, seethe, & screeching. https://t.co/5Fp6pQiscy
This bizarre recent wave of racism against Indians crashing up against Hindu nationalist Twitter is going to to be the real final battle on here https://t.co/vy4PKkKu4c
