How can one say "Witch hunting" in Hindi in the sense as defined by Merriam-Webster as "searching out and deliberate harassment of those with unpopular views"?
One can say, "हाथ धो कर पीछे पड़ जाना" (hath dho kar peechhe pad jana) to mean the same, though there is no exact matching word for it in Hindi. Witch hunting is a historical event and its literal translation "चुड़ैल का शिकार" would appear hilarious to most because such things did not happen in India.
