  6. Ravish Kumar got 100k views after 1 hour of posting the video on YouTube. That guy is a legend.

  7. 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.

  8. Resistance is not matter of choice. Not all battles are fought for victory. Some are fought simply to tell the world that someone was there on the battlefield. — #ravishkumar

  9. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. वे लोग काफ़ी बड़ी संख्या में जमा होते थे, लेकिन विरोध करने के बजाय सरकार से अनुरोध कर रहे थे। जब आप अनुरोध करते हैं, तब आप लोकतंत्र के लोक नहीं रह जाते। अपने जनता होने का अधिकार आप छोड़ देते हैं।

  16. a friend from India send me this on local devastation situ after floods and abandonment in effected regions #climatejustice

    "the condition of mainstream media is extremely lousy"

    Ravish Kumar is one of the genuine journalists here. He left NDTV as it was bought by Adani. Now he has started reporting via YouTube (India & youtube ugh)

  17. सरकार और पत्रकार आपस में लाइक्स और फॉलो बाँट रहे हैं। यह नए दौर की रेवड़ियाँ हैं। महत्त्वपूर्ण बने रहना ही सबसे बड़ी चुनौती है।

  18. 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.

  19. डर बाहर से आता है और हौसला भीतर से। जब डर लगे तो ख़ुद के भीतर झाँका कीजिए।

  20. And absolute amorality. Elected representatives can garland killers, ministers can lie, news anchors can read out government press releases as news. It bothers no one enough.

  21. 2000 रुपए के नोट में चिप होने की घटना सामान्य नहीं थी। पकौड़ा तलने को रोजगार से जोड़ने की घटना सामान्य नहीं थी । यह एक क़िस्म का जल-परीक्षण था, वॉटर टेस्टिंग की गई थी कि हमने सूचनाविहीन दर्शकों की जो जमात तैयार की है, क्या वो अब हर तरह के झूठ को स्वीकार करने लायक बन चुकी है।

  22. अल्पसंख्यक होने का यही मतलब नहीं है कि किसी धार्मिक समुदाय की जनसंख्या कम है। लोकतंत्र पर हावी हो रहे इस भय तंत्र के दौर में सत्ता और ताक़त की विचारधारा से असहमति भी आपको अल्पसंख्यक बना सकती है।

  23. कैसे धर्म के आधार पर किसी ग़लत को सही और सही को ग़लत की तरह देखा जा सकता है? क्या धर्म इतना अंधा हो गया है कि वह भीड़ को हिंसा की इजाज़त देता है? भीड़ संविधान से भी बड़ी हो गई है?

  24. India is creeping closer to a general election next year at a time that the mainstream media there is growing more and more toxic.That assessment comes from ...
    An interview with Ravish Kumar | The Listening Post
  25. जनता के एक तबके को डराने के लिए जनता के दूसरे तबके का इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है; उसका नाम है—भीड़। यह भीड़ आज पुलिस से भी ताक़तवर हो गई है, बल्कि पुलिस भी अब इस भीड़ के अनुसार चल रही है।

  26. फ़ेक न्यूज़ न्यूज़ का ही विकल्प नहीं है, बल्कि इसके जरिये जनता का भी विकल्प तैयार हो रहा है। क्योंकि जनता जब ग़लत सूचनाओं या वैकल्पिक हालात के आधार पर अपनी धारणा बनाती है, तब वह इंसान होते हुए भी रोबोट की तरह व्यवहार करने लगती है। फ़ेक न्यूज के ज़रिये आप जनता के एक बड़े हिस्से को रोबोट की तरह नियंत्रित कर सकते हैं।

  27. आपका डर जहाँ से ख़त्म होता है, सत्ता के शीर्ष पर बैठे शख़्स का काम वहाँ से शुरू होता है। आप एक डर से आज़ाद होते हैं, मगर वह दस और डर का जाल बिछा देता है। साहस कुछ और नहीं, डर के एक घेरे से निकल कर दूसरे घेरे से निकलने का संघर्ष है।

  28. जिस एंकर को दिन में दो अखबार पढ़ने का वक़्त नहीं होता, वह रोज़ रात को इतिहासकार बनकर आपकी बुद्धि भ्रष्ट कर रहा होता है।

  29. In Jharkhand, on 17 June 2019, a young man called Tabrez Ansari was tied to a pole sometime around midnight and beaten by a mob till six in the morning. As he was being battered, Tabrez Ansari was asked to say 'Jai Shri Ram'. He did. It did not save him. He died four days later.

  30. 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.

  35. This new documentary on Indian journalist Ravish Kumar, forced out of the profession for truth-telling, looks great. Can't wait for it to come to San Francisco, or to streaming:

    ‘अरे’ और ‘रे’ की भाषाई तहज़ीब से झूठ को सच बना गए प्रधानमंत्री

    भारत के प्रधानमंत्री को जनता ने कितना प्यार दिया लेकिन बदले में उन्होंने कैसी भाषा दी है. रामलीला मैदान में उनकी भाषा का लहज़ा नफ़रत तिरस्कार और झूठ से भरा था.

  40. 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.

  41. 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.
