Culture, Ethnicity, and Hate Crimes

Abstract

Traditionally, India is a multilingual, multi-religious, and multicultural country. Ingression of different races in India has brought in different personal laws. Similar to India, the US also has a multiracial, religious, linguistic, and cultural society. The country also has similar experiences of hate crimes, especially from the perspectives of racial violence. This chapter aims to research the hate crime preventive laws in the US and India to find the best solutions from both jurisdictions.
