Every morning in today's India begins with two parallel news cycles. One, broadcast on television screens, is carefully curated: Panel debates on Pakistan, Hindu pride, and endless theatre about a new India. The other, untelevised but deeply real, is the daily routine of Muslims being lynched, harassed, jailed, and demonised.
