In 2017, I got a call from Rahul Roushan, asking if I wanted to lead OpIndia. I was, before that, happily and very, very innocuously running my own business. I loved to write, but I knew nothing about digital publishing and I certainly did not realise what I was getting into +
+ I thought I would get to write about the things I felt passionately about. Overnight, I left my business and from the very next day, joined OpIndia as its editor. We were a team of 3. We grew exponentially, but this job has changed me and what I thought about the world
+ When I started off, I thought reconciliation was possible. When I started, it was hope that drove me. Today, it’s unbridled, blind rage. It was a short, tumultuous journey from “I’m sure they will condemn at least this” to “I will only stand for my own, they don’t matter”
+ Over the years, we have closely followed the sheer brutality with which the Left+Islamist nexus hunts down those they don’t agree with - their hate gift wrapped in punch words like “secularism”, “harmony”, “morality”, “truth”, “brotherhood”, “idea of India”, and so much more
+ We have documented them giving a political context to the brutal hacking of Hindu activists. We have watched them ensure that Hindus lose their jobs merely for speaking about the Islamic invasions. We have watched them celebrate the death of Hindus and dance on their dead skull
