How Four Hindu Nationalist Websites Make Their Money

Bellingcat investigates how several Hindu nationalist-aligned media outlets in India—OpIndia, Hindu Existence, Hindu Post, and Jaipur Dialogues—solicit or receive foreign funds through PayPal, Donorbox, and a U.S.-registered nonprofit, potentially contravening India’s FCRA, while many NGOs have lost foreign funding under the same law. The report maps links among these outlets and RSS/VHP-affiliated entities, highlights opaque or indirect funding structures, and questions payment platforms’ acceptable-use enforcement, underscoring an apparent double standard amid India’s election climate.
