OpIndia is an Indian right-wing news website known for frequently publishing misinformation.[6][7][21] Founded in December 2014,[11] the website has published fake news and Islamophobic commentary on many occasions.[28][34]
OpIndia is dedicated to criticism of what it considers liberal media,[3] and to support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)[38] and Hindutva ideology.[44] According to University of Maryland researchers, OpIndia has shamed journalists it deems opposed to the BJP and has alleged media bias against Hindus and the BJP.[2] In 2019, the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) rejected OpIndia's application to be certified as a fact checker.[45] IFCN-certified fact checkers identified 25 fake news stories and 14 misreported stories published by OpIndia from January 2018 to June 2020.[23]
The website is owned by Aadhyaasi Media and Content Services, a former subsidiary of the parent company of the right-wing magazine Swarajya.[2]: 2 [3] The current CEO of OpIndia is Rahul Roushan, and the current editors are Nupur J Sharma (English) and Chandan Kumar (Hindi).[5]
