Tracking rising religious hatred in India, from half a world away By Pranshu Verma January 16, 2023 https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/01/16/hindu-hate-crimes-raqib-hameed-naik/ Raqib Hameed Naik, a Kashmiri Muslim journalist hiding in America, is ready to bring his data project out of the shadows -- Naik, 29, is the founder of HindutvaWatch.org, one of the most robust real-time data sets of human rights abuses in the world’s largest democracy. Using video and picture evidence submitted by a network of Indian activists, along with news aggregation, the site tracks hate crimes by Hindus against Muslims, Christians and members of the lower-ranked castes. Since its founding in April 2021, it has catalogued more than 1,000 instances of violent attacks and rhetoric.
