Saffron terror is a term used to describe acts of violence and discrimination against religious and minority groups by people who follow a certain religion. For example, in India, saffron terror refers to Hindus who use violence and discrimination against Muslims and other minority groups. This includes things like attacking them with knives, setting their homes on fire, and vandalizing their property. The saffron color is associated with the Hindu religion, so this is why the violence against minority groups is known as "saffron terror."
