Ravish Kumar, India's Magsaysay award winning journalist, has claimed that we've entered the times of "Corpo-State Terrorism"!

I feel that #RavishKumar is beginning to drink the American/NYT Kool-Aid.
He did an episode on #HollywoodPride a few weeks ago. As a queer person myself, I was disappointed that he painted a rosy picture of the state of #LGBTQIA rights in the Empire, and chose to completely ignore the significant victories that Indian activists have managed here. He even forgot to mention that sexual and gender minorities in #India owe much of their woes to the British Colonisers.
Also, he is silent on #Gaza. -
When Journalism Becomes the Flagbearer of Hate, Can the Resistance to It Be Anything but Political?
The attempt in some quarters to brush off these questions and frame the INDIA alliance’s boycott of 14 prominent hate-spewing TV anchors as an attack on journalism itself, is nothing but a defence of communalism in the name of defending journalistic principles. Ravish Kumar writes.

Watching "While We Watched", a documentary on the difficult life of journalist Ravish Kumar after the rise of Hindutva in India.
He belongs to my home district East Champaran, Bihar -- and was one of my role models since high school.
I salute his courage and wonder about the future of press freedom in India, which is finding its low on a daily basis.
It's an opener and a must-watch for everyone who wants to know the real India.

How did India’s news channels become so full of hate?
The idea that the extreme hate on news TV is audience driven has little data to back it. On the other hand, there is plenty of data to show that hate in Indian media is top-down, driven by the government and media owners. Shoaib Daniyal writes.

I saw #WhileWeWatched last night and really, really recommend it. It’s an excellent documentary about #RavishKumar, the fearless, amazing #NDTV news presenter informing viewers of the lies they are being relentlessly told in #Modi’s #India around the 2019 election. The #nationalism and #Propanda on other channels is frightening, not least because identical to rhetoric elsewhere. Kumar resigned in 2022 and now does a #YoutubeChannel, living more or less in hiding.

Perhaps the only so called mainstream TV journalist who actually went to the ground and reported what's happening. What the #CAAProtests means to different people from different places. Heat what the North East has to say. Hear what the #students have to say. Hear what the #women have to say. Hear the voices of people who have come to the streets and demand that this law is repealed.

Please listen to this! The young women of India ( #JamiaMilliaIslamia and #AligarhMuslimUniversity ) come to talk about the police brutality on campus, our right to protest, what it feels like to be beaten up and assaulted in a campus that traces it's foundation to Mahatma Gandhi and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. How it feels to be a Musilm. What it is to dissent and disagree. And what it is to stand up again.
