In an exclusive interview with The Quint, Mahua Moitra questioned the media’s silence on the Ram Mandir donations "theft" and other allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), even as she dismissed speculation of the TMC’s “collapse”. “The RSS claimed to be the custodian of Hindu faith. And now, Hindu faith is being looted,” the firebrand TMC MP said. She added that the “real TMC” will never leave Mamata Banerjee and that Mamata Banerjee will never leave West Bengal. In the wake of the crushing defeat in the 2026 Assembly elections, the TMC has seen a flurry of desertions with the party staring at a deep political fracture, both in the Assembly and Parliament. The "rebels" struck at the speed of lightning, leaving a string of questions in their trail. How did the party unravel so quickly? Can Mamata Banerjee, known for her street-fighting style, claw her way back into the heart of Bengal's politics? And perhaps most importantly, can Mamata Banerjee’s TMC still put up a fight against her now familiar foe, the BJP? She answers all these questions and more!

Mahua Moitra on Ram Mandir Theft: ‘Hindu Faith is Being Looted’ | Exclusive Interview

West Bengal Election 2026 is a poll under siege. Election Commission rules are being questioned for being absurd and working against the Trinamool Congress. The EC introduced certain rules meant only for Bengal and not Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and Puducherry that went to polls with it. These rules have led to lakhs of people being deprived of their right to vote. And now the state is being put under unprecedented security deployment, of a greater scale than even the civil strife in Manipur.There are six aspects to what can be called an election under siege in West Bengal.

In Madhya Pradesh, a faith is on trial. Prayer meetings and churches are raided. Pastors are framed and silenced under "forceful conversion" cases but the ground reality paints a different picture. 
In this documentary, we show you how the persecution of Christians has taken a new shape. We expose how the anti-conversion law is being misused in newer ways and the real human cost of such Hindutva attacks on poor Christians who now live in fear.

Why did the Narendra Modi-led BJP government bring the Women's Reservation Bill even though it had already been passed with the Opposition's help in 2023? The reason is that it was only a trick to carry out delimitation ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. So far, delimitation has taken place in Assan and Jammu and Kashmir. In both these places, the exercise has led to gerrymandering, or manipulation to benefit the BJP. How was this done? Will this happen nationally? Watch this video to find out.

Young influencers from dominant castes such as Brahmins and Rajputs are making high-engagement reels centred on caste pride and superiority on Instagram, using trending audios, cinematic edits, and aspirational aesthetic. We analysed more than 100 reels across over 30 accounts. What emerged is a pattern: under the label of “pride”, caste superiority is being repackaged for the algorithm age.

'Everyone Wants to Be Brahmin': Inside Instagram's Caste Pride Economy

"We are the kind of Hindu that stands up to say no to Hindutva, no to caste," says Sunita Viswanath, executive director and co-founder of Hindus for Human Rights, a non-profit based in the United States that works to counter Hindutva, especially among Indians abroad. "The Hindutva brigade was strong and growing across the diaspora. So we had the fight, of course, for our communities and families in India, but also right here where we live." 

On 11 March, Viswanath and her team held a launch event in New York City for Hindus for Human Rights Action, a new political advocacy arm that aims to be "unleashing the political voice of progressive Hindus" in the United States. Viswanath joins us for the second episode of VIGILANT, a new podcast hosted by Raghav Bahl, editor-in-chief of The Quint, and discusses the rise of Hindutva beyond India, and the actions that she and others are taking to combat it.

The podcast is a part of VIGIL, a new offering on The Quint that discusses and champions themes of pluralism and inclusivity in the Indian diaspora. VIGIL stands for Voice of India: Global, Inclusive, Liberal.

In December 2023, 100 Opposition MPs were suspended from the Lok Sabha in a single week — the largest mass suspension in the history of India’s Parliament. But how unusual is this? As Birla faces a rate no-trust vote in the Parliament, our analysis of Lok Sabha records since 2004 shows that 112 MPs were suspended during Om Birla’s first term as Speaker, accounting for nearly half of all suspensions in the past two decades. The Quint continues to track how India’s democratic institutions — from Parliament to courts and investigative agencies — function and are held accountable.
