Abstract

The article focuses on Facebook's recommendation algorithm reinforcing Hindu nationalism's casteism, discussing how it influences the connections between users of Hindu nationalist groups and caste-centered communities. Topics include the impact of the algorithm on user engagement, the intertwining of caste privilege within the Hindu nationalist space, and how the algorithm-driven model facilitates the expansion of supremacist groups by recommending similar-interest groups and pages.
