  1. 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.

  2. 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.
