Rise of Xenophobia in the West: Indian Exploitation and its Implication on Pakistani Diaspora

Abstract

The world is witnessing the rise of xenophobia in the Western society and culture that is massively deteriorating the social fabric of the western society and creating a gulf between the natives of different countries and the locals. A considerable number of Political Scientists including the famous Noam Chomsky are of the view that it is nothing but a planned manipulation of minds of the local people by the ruling elite for getting their electoral gains and portray Muslims as a monster that are serious threat for the stability and security of the Western society. The paper intends to unfold the xenophobic trends and the Indian role in fueling the xenophobia against the Pakistani Diaspora. The theoretical lens that will magnify the literature would be the Social Constructivism. The paper will highlight the exploitation of minds by the Western political parties that ultimately help them to get the desired results in the electoral process with primary focus on the Pakistani Diaspora. The paper will also illuminate the fears of the Western society about the decaying trends in their culture and linguistics.
