This never made any sense in a global context.

Islamophobia has always been a thing in Europe for example. Hindus and Muslims have always lived a somewhat segregated lifestyle in Indian culture as well (similar to Hispanics in the US). If you managed to merge Hindus and Muslims, you would have the European Islamophobia left over, and the Indians would be Islamophobia without the positives of Hinduism (look at the situation in the UK).

Furthermore as far as I can tell, there is still the Hindu - Muslim division in most of the western diaspora as well. You get second and third generation Indians LGBTQ who still divide themselves into Hindus and Muslims, Hindu women who will identify with the Indian right wing etc... so I do not see how the movement is "growing" when it has always been there.
