Attacks on Indians rose under Trump 2.0, Canada saw highest incidents

The Indian government reported a rise in attacks on Indian nationals in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom over the past five years.

In the US, attacks increased sharply under President Donald Trump's second term, with 14 reported in 2025.

Canada saw the highest number of incidents, with 36 cases between 2021 and 2025.

The rise in attacks is linked to MAGA-aligned nationalism and online hate, particularly targeting H-1B visa holders.

In Canada, hate crimes against South Asians rose by 143% between 2019 and 2022.

The Indian government has recorded and reported these incidents to highlight the issue.
