In the last decade, India has seen a steep rise in incidents of hate crimes, discrimination, and communal violence. This doesn’t mean mob lynchings alone but also targeted violence, arbitrary laws, and everyday forms of discrimination and hate.
The Quint has consistently been the leading news organisation breaking stories on communal violence and hate crimes and carrying out in-depth investigations on communal issues – be it our documentary on the hijab ban in Karnataka and our investigations on the 2020 Northeast Delhi violence, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Conversion laws and the violence being carried out by cow-protection vigilantes.
These investigations involve a lot of work and often come at great personal risk to our reporters who are on the ground. We need your support as we continue to bring out more such investigations and voices from the ground.
