Work with us
Help build a careful, reliable record.
Bihar Hate Archive documents hate speech and discrimination targeting Bihari people. We are inviting two Research & Documentation Interns to help verify sources, organise evidence, and prepare clear, contextual records.
Bring your curiosity, care, and willingness to learn. Your contribution can help preserve information that deserves a place in the public record.
What you will do
- Search social media for potentially relevant tweets, videos, and speeches targeting Bihari people, and locate original sources.
- Check dates, context, translations, and supporting evidence against BHA’s inclusion criteria.
- Identify duplicate reports and flag uncertain or missing information.
- Organise evidence and prepare sourced case summaries for review.
- Help document historical incidents and improve existing records.
Who should apply
Students, early-career professionals, and self-taught contributors from all regions and backgrounds are welcome. Applicants should be 18 or older.
- Regular familiarity with social media and an ability to search for relevant posts, videos, and speeches, then check their original context.
- Careful judgment, attention to detail, and clear writing.
- Reliability and availability for a six-month commitment.
- Comfort researching material in Hindi and English. Additional regional-language skills are welcome.
- Respect for confidentiality, fairness, and evidence-based documentation.
A small commitment. Meaningful work.
