What happens when a trans man walks into a hospital in India? He’s often humiliated, misgendered, denied care — or worse, subjected to illegal procedures. Despite legal protections, the healthcare system is failing trans men. 🧵 Here’s what TNM found 👇

This is what made me want to look into the overlap between religion and the manosphere in India, and how these ideologies are feeding each other. Over the past months, I spoke to Hindu men who called Hindu women "degenerates" and blamed them for "Hinduism’s downfall." (2/8)

A 16-year-old Muslim boy told me bluntly that “only hijab keeps women from being raped.” He believed it, because the internet taught him to. These young men aren’t born hateful. They’re shaped by spaces where religion is twisted to justify control. (3/8) thenewsminute.com/premium/misogy…

In part one of our series, I had spoken to young Indian boys, as young as 13 and 14, calling for rigid gender roles, falling for the bile spouted by people like Andrew Tate — without even realising they are starting to hate women. (4/8) thenewsminute.com/premium/inside…

But working on part 2 made me realise that the Indian manosphere isn’t just about men hating women anymore. It’s becoming a place where nationalism and religious radicalisation are incubated too. (5/8) thenewsminute.com/premium/misogy…

These ideologies are growing together. They make each other stronger. And they give angry young men a cause to believe in — and someone to blame. It’s more than just online chatter. It’s shaping culture, politics, and violence. And we should be worried. (6/8)

If you haven't read part 1 yet, and is unaware of how our young boys are falling down this rabbit hole, do read that first. The articles are behind a paywall, but your support will help us continue this work. (7/8) thenewsminute.com/premium/inside…

The Indian manosphere has evolved from mere misogyny into a space fueling nationalism and religious extremism. Lakshmi Priya spoke to Hindu men who called Hindu women "degenerates" and blamed them for "Hinduism’s downfall." thenewsminute.com/premium/misogy…
