The Quint engagement report
@TheQuint - 754K followers on X
Measured over 83 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 754K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 83 original posts, its engagement rate beats 8% of 3,791 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 2.9K times each, and 0.207% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.385% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 83 posts sampled, 69% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 86% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 865 interactions, about 144x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #webqoof, #india, #china.

Compared with accounts its own size
The Quint's engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 17% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.001%, The Quint sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s appearance at a New York City event titled ‘Universal Oneness’ may look like a routine diaspora outreach programme. But look closer at who is behind it, and the picture gets more complicated. The event is being hosted by American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue (AHEAD), a relatively new organisation that describes itself as an advocate for interfaith dialogue and an inclusive future, with no mention of ties to the RSS. But AHEAD’s registration records tell a different story. Its incorporating agent, Khanderao Khand, is associated with the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS), widely described as the RSS’s overseas wing. Khand has also hosted BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September 2024. The event comes amid repeated RSS claims that it does not operate overseas – and follows an investigation into its lobbying efforts in the US.

“RSS Out of NYC”, “Hindutva Out of NYC” and “India Belongs to Everyone” were among the slogans raised by protesters outside Madison Square Garden in New York on August 29, as RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed a major gathering of Indian-American and interfaith groups. The protest was organised by Hindus for Human Rights and allied organisations, with Muslim, Sikh and Christian groups and other advocacy organisations also participating. Bhagwat’s New York visit included two separate events. Earlier on August 29, he participated in the “One World, One Humanity” Faith Leaders’ Conference, which brought together religious leaders from Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Judaism for discussions centred on interfaith dialogue, unity and shared humanity. Later, he was the keynote speaker at the “Universal Oneness Celebration” at Madison Square Garden, organised by the American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue (AHEAD) Forum. The event was presented by organisers as a celebration of Hindu philosophy, diversity, interfaith harmony and the principle of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” – the world as one family. Around 5,000 people were expected to attend. At the Faith Leaders’ Conference, Bhagwat said: “If any Hindu thinks that there should be no Muslim in Bharat, he will not remain Hindu.” He also spoke about the idea that different faiths may follow different paths while sharing a common humanity. His appearance at MSG, however, drew significant opposition in New York, including from 61 organisations that said the RSS does not represent their vision of Hinduism or India.

This is revelatory because the RSS has repeatedly insisted that it “works only in Bharat (India)” and that “the Sangh does not control, neither directly nor remotely” any foreign bodies. @khanthefatima reports. Read: https://t.co/dcmYgatlFA

Protests at IIT Delhi entered their fourth day on Thursday over the death of MSc Physics student Rishikesh Kumar, who allegedly died by suicide on 22 August after falling from the institute’s Lecture Hall Complex. Students have been demanding a transparent and independent probe into the circumstances surrounding his death, along with greater accountability from the institute on student welfare and mental health support systems. Following the protests, IIT Delhi reconstituted its inquiry committee and appointed retired Delhi High Court judge Justice Mukta Gupta to head the panel. The Delhi Police has registered a case of abetment to suicide against unknown persons, while investigations into the circumstances leading to Kumar’s death continue.

A sea of red and saffron flags flanked either side of the metal spires of Gate No. 4 of Jadavpur University on Thursday, 20 August, hours after the campus came under attack from a violent mob the night before. Those carrying the saffron flags, mostly members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidya Parishad (ABVP), were storming the gate from the outside while those with the red flags—representing a consortium of Left student bodies—stood guard on the inside, dodging eggs and projectiles the saffron-bearers hurled at the students inside, along with the choicest of expletives. Many tried to scale the gate to enter but were pushed back by a crowd of students. @theotherbose reports. Read the full report: https://t.co/gpBIKXp68L

The acts of violence are not just criminal offences; they are a profound betrayal of the spiritual discipline that the Yatra is meant to inculcate. The Kanwariya who throws a stone or raises a fist in anger has forgotten that the journey is about cooling the anger of the divine, not fuelling their own. The spectacle of violence during the Kanwar Yatra is a constitutional crisis in the making. @legallyuddin writes. Read here: https://t.co/qK9sgFAiFJ

Modi and Bhagwat have subsequently resorted to tactical manoeuvres; controlling Instagram, changing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s social media time, doing ‘outreach’ with Gen Z. But none of this will help. The BJP-RSS cannot become the opposite of their core, regressive, anti-science selves. They may still win elections for a while, simply because they still control resources and institutions. But their status as the highest arbiters of morality is irreversibly lost.

It is this moral legitimacy, which has been reduced to smithereens after the scam of loot from Ram Mandir was exposed and the events in July 2026. Dushyant Arora writes. Read: https://t.co/Sqw8KcQAxR

CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and other members of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) were allegedly attacked during a visit to a government primary school in Jaipur’s Rampura Kanwarpura village on Friday. The team had visited the school as part of CJP’s “School Thik Karo” campaign, which focuses on highlighting issues in government school infrastructure. According to reports, a confrontation broke out after locals allegedly stopped the group, following which CJP members claimed they were assaulted and their vehicles were damaged. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke alleged that BJP workers were behind the attack, a claim that has not been independently verified. The incident has sparked questions over political clashes and the safety of activists carrying out public campaigns. #CJP #AshutoshRanka

A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 754K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 83 original posts, its engagement rate beats 8% of 3,791 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own.

- What is The Quint's engagement rate on X?
- The Quint (@TheQuint) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 83 original posts from the last 30 days against 753,683 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, The Quint sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @TheQuint have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @TheQuint post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.8 posts per day across the measured window.
