Love jihad is trending on social media and in the news yet again, as a murder in Delhi is being turned into a misguided commentary on Hindu-Muslim unions and the dangers of ‘love jihad.’ In this short documentary, we explore how the ‘love jihad’ conspiracy has grown online, and the ways in which it impacts the lives of inter-faith couples, and Indian Muslim men.

‘Baited’ is a four-part docu series on how rapid datafication is amplifying social inequalities across India.
