Abstract

The Indian economy is facing a serious crisis, and no matter what the Narendra Modi government says about it, or does not say, the recent government order to auction 9,400 ‘enemy properties’ worth Rs 1 lakh crore is enough proof. It’s an attempt to boost disinvestment receipts, along with the sale of Air India. But it can also lead to a troubling fallout – branding Muslim citizens as an ‘enemy’ in the current climate.
