By now, you’ve probably seen the shocking news about the Indian election results: instead of the landslide victory that many had expected, Narendra Modi and his extremist BJP are set to lose their governing majority. Across the country, voters turned out to forcefully reject the BJP’s politics of hate and division—from defeating the BJP’s candidate in the supposed Hindutva stronghold of Ayodhya, to unseating the same cabinet minister who has repeatedly peddled unfounded conspiracy theories against our organization.
