The Right has shrugged off accusations of having created a culture of Fear and Intimidation in the country by saying that the incidents being reported are nothing but a continuum. Data is trotted out to prove that India has always seen such atrocities against minorities and marginalized.
Therefore the people and media are biased against the current regime. Such persons and media are then viciously trolled and threatened by targeting them as anti-nationals, unpatriotic, at best dismissed as Congis etc., who in turn fume helplessly.
In the TV show Virtuosity with Vir Sanghvi young Swara Bhasker provided the most telling argument and evidence of the Culture of Fear and Intimidation being created in the country.

Swara accepted that such incident occurred in the past and the media reportage is now extensive and intense.
But now a days the perpetrators of the lynching of Muslims and Dalits are emboldened to record these as heroic deeds with no fear of action or retribution from administration.
And nothing does happen to perpetrators ! Even ministers make supportive noises and obfuscate.
(Also please recall Mulayam Singh Yadav on rape and boys? My shield against trolls....)
In fact the subliminal message encourages others to commit similar acts with impunity
