Khalistanis and Pakistanis were the most dedicated supporters of Dhruv Rathee. His strategy of painting Hindus, especially upper-caste ones, as evil and demonising the whole community has earned him the devout following of millions of Pakistanis, Khalistanis and Indian Muslims. The comments section beneath any Dhruv Rathee video on Youtube is filled with hateful anti-Hindu remarks made by his devout followers. Pakistani journalists, even the most celebrated ones, consider him to be the foremost “scholar” on modern India’s political history and Hinduism. His consistently shrill anti-Hindu diatribe resulted in him being an icon for Muslims – both in India as well as Pakistan.
