About the Archive
Understanding our mission, methodology, and commitment to documenting anti-Bihari discrimination.
Mission
The Bihar Hate Archive (BHA) is a systematic documentation and public accountability initiative that collects, categorises, and exposes hate speech, xenophobia, genocidal rhetoric, and regional stereotyping targeting Bihari people across digital platforms.
Our goal is to create an authoritative, evidence-based record of anti-Bihari discrimination to raise awareness, support victims, and pressure authorities into action.
We believe that documentation is the first step toward accountability. Every recorded incident builds a case for justice and helps break the cycle of hate.
What We Document
Genocidal Rhetoric
Explicit calls for violence, ethnic cleansing, or physical harm against Bihari communities.
Xenophobic Speech
Dehumanizing language, slurs, and hate speech targeting people based on their Bihari identity.
Regional Stereotyping
Systematic perpetuation of harmful stereotypes that reduce an entire community to negative caricatures.
Systemic Discrimination
Documented cases of institutional bias in housing, employment, education, and public services.
Methodology
Collection
Crowdsourced submissions combined with manual monitoring of social media platforms including X/Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
Verification
Each submission undergoes rigorous verification to ensure authenticity. We cross-reference multiple sources and preserve original evidence.
Archival
Verified incidents are catalogued using a standardised format including case IDs, metadata, verbatim quotes, and supporting evidence.
Accountability
We tag relevant authorities, document patterns, and maintain a public record that can be used for advocacy and legal purposes.
Our Principles
Evidence-Based
Every entry is backed by verifiable evidence — screenshots, URLs, and timestamps.
Objective
We document facts without editorialising. The archive speaks for itself.
Action-Oriented
We tag authorities and maintain records that can support legal and advocacy efforts.
