From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

Lotika Singha is an honorary research fellow at the University of Wolverhampton, UK[1][2]as of August, 2022. According to her university profile, her research interests centre on social inequalities, the reproduction of social injustice through daily pracitices and cross-cultural theories across various population groups (in particular the British and Indian contexts).

According to her bio and Google scholar, she has published no books, papers or research pertaining to Hindus, the rights of Hindus, the impact of or relationship between, Islam and Hinduism / Hindutva or the Indian Government.

In 2021, she endorsed the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" conference and made an unsubstantiated statement:

"the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws. The result has been a horrifying rise in religious and caste-based violence, including hate crimes, lynchings, and rapes directed against Muslims, non-conforming Dalits, Sikhs, Christians, adivasis and other dissident Hindus. Women of these communities are especially targeted. Meanwhile, the government has used every tool of harassment and intimidation to muzzle dissent. Dozens of student activists and human rights defenders are currently languishing in jail indefinitely without due process under repressive anti-terrorism laws."
