Aninhalli R. Vasavi claims to be an Independent Researcher in the area of agriculture. Currently, She works as a secretary at "Punarchit Collective" . As per her bio, she left her faculty position in 2011 at National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore.

In 2021, she fraudulently endorsed the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" conference as a scholar and an academic and made the allegation

"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 in 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."
