Twist of faith: religious hatred in India

Max Rodenbeck, The Economist's South Asia bureau chief based in Delhi, dives deep into the alarming rise of Hindu nationalism in India. He highlights how minority groups, especially Muslims, Christians, and Sikhs, face increasing hostility and violence, often exacerbated by government inaction. Rodenbeck paints a troubling picture of sectarian discrimination that undermines India’s secular ethos. He also touches on the shift in Chinese propaganda tactics and the lighthearted yet concerning otter trend in Southeast Asia.
