Community leaders say divisions within the Indian-Australian community have grown, as Hindu nationalists use Facebook and Whatsapp groups to spread divisive rhetoric targeting minority groups including Sikhs and Muslims.

Tensions boiled over when police intervened at a rally in Sydney, also in February. Sikh community members, seeking to show their solidarity with the farmers protest in India, were met with supporters of the governing BJP party, forcing police to break up the rally. No arrests were made, but the sense of simmering acrimony stuck with many who witnessed it.

Amar Singh, the president of charity Turbans 4 Australia, said he was worried about how the extreme rhetoric targeting minority Indian groups could affect his community.

Singh said that some people in online groups were advocating for members to boycott particular businesses based on whether the owners were Sikh or Muslim. It goes against our multicultural society here in Australia.

He said the rhetoric needed to be stemmed, or the violence would only escalate. Dr Surjeet Dogra Dhanji, a post-doctoral fellow on the Indian diaspora and migration at the University of Melbourne, said that community members were identifying with elements of the protest because of connections to family and friends in India.
