With weeks to go until the start of national elections, India’s right-wing government has forced X and ISPs to block Hindutva Watch.
India, the world’s largest democracy, prepares to kick off its election season in just a matter of weeks. But activists and experts worry that the government is cracking down on platforms and internet service providers to silence critical voices, and tighten its grip on the information ecosystem.
The instances documented by Hindutva Watch also run counter to the image of a US ally committed to “freedom, democracy, human rights, inclusion, pluralism, and equal opportunities for all citizens,” as a joint statement released during Modi’s US visit in June 2023 proclaimed. And Chima says that right now, before the official campaign season in India kicks off, is a critical moment for controlling the information ecosystem.
