CSOH / India Hate Lab / Hindutva Watch Founder Network
CSOH cites India Hate Lab and Hindutva Watch as independent corroboration for its incident counts.
Loop Structure
How the loop operatesCSOH cites India Hate Lab and Hindutva Watch as independent corroboration for its incident counts. All three organisations were founded by the same individual, a relationship established through IRS 990 filings and undisclosed in the reports. India Hate Lab simultaneously cites CSOH in its own publications, completing the loop. The network extends into SASAC publications and recent USCIRF India chapters, which cite CSOH/IHL data without noting the shared-founder relationship.
