Prof Sudhanshu is a Hindu nationalist with over 400K followers on X (formerly Twitter), where he routinely fuels anti-Muslim hatred. His posts incite his audience to spread abuse and target the minority community.
He frequently shares baseless claims, often posting misleading videos to accuse Muslim men of harassing Hindu women or making inflammatory remarks like “Muslim invaders will fear Naga sadhus,” prompting his followers to cheer him on while unleashing abuse against Muslims.
On X, he is a member of “FIRE ARMY”- they describe themselves as “the Shield of Sanatan We are Fire Army – Dedicated to defending Sanatan Dharma, Hindu culture, and countering propaganda against our faith.” Where they post anti-Muslim content.
Like many Hindu nationalists, Sudhanshu deliberately spreads fake news, fully aware that his propaganda will be weaponized to vilify Muslims.
In July 2024, Sudhanshu amplified a false claim about a viral video of a man spitting on pizza, alleging it was a Muslim individual from Nigeria. The video, in reality, was from Detroit, USA, and had no communal angle. Despite fact-checks debunking the claim, Sudhanshu, along with other right-wing figures, used it to push anti-Muslim propaganda, fueling hate and calls for boycotts of Muslim businesses. This was not an isolated incident—his X account routinely spreads misinformation designed to vilify the Muslim community and incite his followers.
In April 2024, Sudhanshu shared a misleading video of a man riding a bike with three burqa-clad women, falsely claiming it was a case of unemployment in India. In reality, the video was from Bangladesh, featuring a police officer discussing road safety. Despite clear evidence debunking the claim, Sudhanshu spread the misinformation to push his usual anti-Muslim narrative, fueling social media outrage based on falsehoods.
