#HateCrimeWatch is moving to a new home. With this, we effectively and immediately end our association with this crucial tool. The FactChecker.in team had identified a gnawing gap in crime reporting and basis this lacunae we conceptualised #HateCrimeWatch. From a point of denial to a stage where we have collective acceptance of this heinous crime is in itself a significant achievement of this project.

We are often questioned about Hate Crime Watch, why it exists, what it does and how. The answer lies in a statement the ministry of home affairs made to the Lok Sabha today. bit.ly/2SotKr3 "Indian Penal Code (IPC) does not define any crime as ‘hate crime’ & therefore, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) does not maintain data under the head ‘hate crimes’," Nityanand Rai, minister of state for home affairs, told the Lok Sabha.
That's why we do.

Late night on July 12, 2019, UP govt released a press note claiming that “in the course of deliberation” they found the case “was a quarrel between the students over a game of cricket and there were no religious slogans involved.” bit.ly/30wwu8M
The UP govt. goes on to say that “earlier such incidents were noticed in Kanpur, Aligarh and other places where reports were misleading to disturb communal harmony.”

Last week, @SwarajyaMag accused us--without seeking our comment--of selective use of hate-crime #data, offering 35 cases from the English media not in our database, and 23 taken from the Hindi press. As promised, we checked all these cases. Here is our response Of 35 cases-- 9 cases fit the description of a hate crime--as our methodology clearly lists. We have added these to our database.
