H-Pop: The Secretive World of Hindutva Pop Stars
India's Hindu nationalist pop stars have millions of listeners and almost no press attention.
Kunal Purohit reports on the singers and lyricists producing Hindutva pop, a genre distributed through YouTube and WhatsApp with a vast audience and very little scrutiny. He follows the performers themselves rather than only the politics, which makes it an unusually good micro-study for an outsider trying to understand contemporary India.
