By Vinay Lal| Scientific American Verified India has since 2014 been governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a Hindu nationalist party notorious for its intolerance for competing visions of the “idea of India.” Led by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, his party’s rule has led to unchecked control of the media, widespread and zealous suppression of dissent, and tacit (and sometime open) support of bigotry against Muslims, Christians and lower-caste Indians.
By Vinay Lal| The Indian Express Verified One might suppose that he was alluding only to the fact that in wartime, data on casualties is neither easily obtained nor verifiable.
