  • 'Branded Anti-National Over a Retweet': Neha Singh Rathore on Dissent, and the Politics of Outrage

    Why is it “deshbhakti” when a PM visits Pakistan, but “deshdroh” when a singer’s video gets shared by a Pakistani handle? In this no-holds-barred conversation, Neha Singh Rathore responds to the hate, the allegations of spreading religious divide, and questions about her political leanings.
    She talks about her viral ‘Ka Ba’ songs, being labelled anti-national, and why she sings about some states but not others. Will there be a ‘Bihar Me Ka Ba 2’? Will she join politics? And why, despite being famous, she still struggles financially?
    Watch the full interview to find out.

  • Sealed And Shut: Inside The Huge Crackdown on Madrassas in Uttarakhand | The Quint

    The Uttarakhand administration and police have sealed around 180 Madrassas, however there is more to it than meets the eye. Since Waqf became law, there has been an official crackdown on allegedly "illegal" Madrassas in Uttarakhand. But documents accessed by The Quint, testimonies of a Madrassa's caretaker, among others in the state paint a complex picture.

  • ‘A Lonely Existence, With My Books:’ Sharjeel Imam Writes Back from Prison | The Quint

    In this exclusive interview carried out in writing from across the bars that ensnare him at the Tihar Central Jail, Sharjeel Imam reflects on all the years he has spent in judicial custody. He writes about lost time, ageing mother, forgotten dreams, and his lonely life in prison. In the company of two cats, and all the books that he is reading, Sharjeel reminisces about the academic pursuits that remain abandoned as consequence of his incarceration, the town he grew up in and the brother he grew up with. In January 2025, he completed five years behind bars as a UAPA accused in the Delhi Riots (larger conspiracy) case. In response to Mekhala Saran’s questions, he writes: “This struggle, this incarceration, this is not a personal struggle - I am just one representative of a larger phenomena spanning decades”.

  • 'Mullah-Maulvi Nahi Chalenge' Surge in Hate and Hostility After Pahalgam Attack | The Quint

    From Himachal to Madhya Pradesh, protests over the Pahalgam terror attack are rapidly turning into flashpoints of hate. Across northern India, anti-Muslim sentiment is surging, with calls for boycotts and evictions echoing through the streets.

    In the two weeks following the Pahalgam attack, India Hate Lab recorded 64 in-person hate speech incidents across 16 states, with Maharashtra reporting the highest number. These events included public calls for economic boycotts, inflammatory speeches, and threats against Muslims. This wave of hate speech has been accompanied by a troubling rise in hate crimes and acts of violence, targeting Kashmiris in particular and Muslims more broadly.

  • Dr Farooq Abdullah Speaks Out After Pahalgam Attack: 'PM Modi is the Master of Game...'

    "I was in complete shock. I couldn't believe this could happen after so many years. I thought things had come to a point where, probably, normalcy is returning. But I was wrong," Dr Farooq Abdullah, three-time chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir and president of the National Conference (NC) told The Quint, breaking his silence on the Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 dead. Even as he expressed his grief at the tragedy, he praised the unprecedented public response across J&K as well as in Ladakh, where citizens stood united in grief and anger. "They came out, saying 'enough is enough'," he added.

  • Decoding Dulat: Confessions of the 'Spy Master' Who Loved Kashmir

    NOTE: This interview was filmed in the week preceding the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir. 

    India's former Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) chief and 'Spymaster' AS Dulat's new book, 'The Chief Minister and the Spy', has already made ripples in both literary and political circles. Based on Dulat's interactions and friendship with former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah over the years, the book has stirred controversy for seemingly claiming Abdullah was ready to "help New Delhi" with the abrogation of Article 370 in August, 2019. Facing heat in Kashmir, Abdullah has dismissed the book's controversial statements about him as a 'cheap stunt'. Is it ? Or are we misreading the book?
    In an exclusive interview with The Quint, Dulat denies making such claims and states that the book is meant to "appreciate" Abdullah instead. "I never said Farooq helped with abrogation," Dulat tells The Quint.

  • India’s Consent Problem, ft. an Allahabad HC Bail Order to a Rape Accused | The Quint

    How Not to Get Raped — A Guide for Women, by Indian Judges.

    Spoiler: It’s impossible. But the courts still expect you to try.

    We go through real High Court judgments from across India that tell women how not to invite their own rape — and fail to hold perpetrators accountable.

    From moral policing disguised as legal reasoning, to the ever-present disbelief in women’s testimonies, this is a look at a system that often doesn’t understand consent at all.

    We also bust the myth that “80% of rape cases are fake” — a number that’s often thrown around to silence survivors. The truth? It’s fiction. And the data proves it.
