Dhruv Rathee discovered YouTube in 2014. Inspired by videos he watched online, he started a travel vlog. But he soon noticed a problem.

“People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says.

So Rathee became what he calls a “YouTube educator,” making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media.

His videos have become incredibly popular—but they've also led to clashes with the Indian government. Despite the risks, Rathee says he makes the videos for one reason.

“I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says.
