The report, compiled by Hindutva Watch in collaboration with India Hate Lab, utilized social media tracking, data scraping, and journalistic research to verify over 255 incidents. The majority of these incidents occurred in BJP-ruled states, with significant concentrations in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
