A look at what I've been working on lately

Dear reader,

I am Abhik Deb, a reporter at Scroll. My work focuses on explaining and analysing political developments. 

I recently wrote about the breakdown of alliance talks between the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress in Haryana, the implications of Arvind Kejriwal’s decision to resign as the Delhi chief minister, Nitish Kumar halting his pet project of a land survey in Bihar and the surge of Hindutva in Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh.

I have also recently explained how our X feeds are becoming increasingly toxic due to “engagement farming” and looked at the rise of Dalit spiritual leaders.

Earlier this year, I reported on the Lok Sabha elections from the ground in Bihar and Delhi, besides fact-checking Narendra Modi's speeches. I've been able to get to the bottom of the curious phenomenon of Indians impersonating Muslims and delved into the Modi government's mishandling of the railways.

If you appreciate the work that I do, please consider becoming a Scroll member. It will help me a shine a light on important, underreported stories such as these.

If you are already a member, consider upgrading your membership to a higher tier. For example, if you currently have a Rs 2,500 membership and purchase another, you’ll automatically be upgraded to the Rs 5,000 tier.

Or, why not gift a membership to a friend?

Every contribution counts. 

Sincerely,
Abhik
