Communally charged discussions are increasingly taking place on X Spaces, the audio forum on the social media platform X, where Hindu participants from Kerala appear to frame Muslims in the state as a threat.
The sessions, which generally begin late at night and run for hours, have emerged as a channel for spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric and promoting mobilisation along religious lines, according to The News Minute.
Earlier, TNM reported these conversations in June after a concerned reader flagged the deeply communal and violent tone of the sessions, and a week-long monitoring of both live and recorded discussions confirmed that they function not merely as casual exchanges, but as platforms capable of influencing public opinion with far-reaching consequences.
Some of the content from these forums has later been picked up by right-leaning news outlets, amplifying the narratives and lending them an air of legitimacy.
The discussions, usually held four or five times a week, involve speakers who mostly operate anonymous accounts, making it difficult to trace their real identities, and a significant number of them seem to be Hindu Keralites residing outside India, particularly in Gulf countries.
While the topics vary, the conversations regularly circle back to anti-Muslim sentiments, with participants resorting to derogatory terms and stereotypes in their references to the community.
Many of the accounts leading these discussions have thousands of followers, and their connections suggest a link to the broader Sangh ecosystem, which strengthens the reach of the content and the narratives it promotes.
The result is a feedback loop in which inflammatory claims circulate widely, reinforcing communal divisions and projecting a narrative of threat and victimhood among Hindus in Kerala.
