I see a bubble here. There have been plenty of killings in the name of "beef"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Dadri_mob_lynching) etc., for starters.

The social media/MSM discourse is more polarized than ever. The actions (or more importantly, inactions) of this government have given a clear indication that spreading venom of hatred is cool, and that "Hindu vs. Muslim" debate is still important and relevant.
