Abstract

This paper explores how anti-Muslim myths, particularly the related neo-eugenic ideas of 'population jihad,' 'love jihad,' and 'corona jihad', work to stigmatise Muslims in India. I discuss how these ideas, although debunked, are mobilised in the Indian healthcare system, systematising eugenics and negatively impacting Indian Muslims. This paper focuses, in particular, on the discriminatory experiences of pregnant Muslim women due to the 'population jihad' myth. I conclude by discussing the activist work of doctors in India who oppose Islamophobia and outline their suggestions for moving towards a more just healthcare system.

仇视伊斯兰教的神话对印度医疗保健的影响。

本文探讨了反穆斯林神话，尤其是与之相关的 "人口圣战"、"爱的圣战 "和 "日冕圣战 "等新优生学思想，是如何在印度对穆斯林进行污名化的。我将讨论这些观点虽然已被揭穿，但如何在印度医疗保健系统中被调动起来，使优生学系统化，并对印度穆斯林产生负面影响。本文尤其关注穆斯林孕妇因 "人口圣战 "神话而遭受歧视的经历。最后，我讨论了印度医生反对伊斯兰恐惧症的积极工作，并概述了他们对建立一个更加公正的医疗保健系统的建议。
