Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Bangalore - Police fired on Hindus and Muslims battling over the issue of language in the streets of Bangalore yesterday, taking the death toll in two days of rioting to 16. The trouble began when Muslims hurled stones at a Hindu rally protesting against newly introduced news broadcasts on state-run Doordarshan television in Urdu, which is spoken by India's 160 million Muslims and by Pakistanis.
