Deepak Chaurasia chanted 'mein bhi sainik', India Today celebrated China App-o-calypse but it was ever-so-predictable Arnab Goswami who stole the show.
Print media is the hardest hit due to dwindling ads and disruption in circulation, with myths and paranoia about coronavirus spreading through newspapers only adding to the problem.
Manish Tewari’s letter comes amid reports of various media outlets sacking their employees, sending them on leave without pay or forcing them to take pay cuts.
Indian media is not doing journalism. Channels from Zee News, Aaj Tak to Network18 add ‘jihad’ to everything, which bigots on social media then use to target individual Muslims.
So far what we have seen of the 2024 elections is enough to indicate that the continuous slide of democratic standards is headed toward breaching the minimum threshold of an electoral democracy.
While releasing 'India Employment Report 2024', V Anantha Nageswaran said govt can't solve 'all social, economic challenges'. Congress leader Kharge says CEA protecting 'dear leader'.
In an interview with Gulistan News this week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government would leave law and order to J&K Police and slowly withdraw troops.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
If these two writers are to be believed, how come the authorities have declared that he had many (around 20) bungalows and flats in his name. Whatever may be the case he was a murderer and was hunted down like a dog. Period. This should be a lesson to every big or small criminals in the state and all of them are on the hit list of the Yogi’s government and will follow Vikas Dubey to the grave.
India’s caste system is a disgrace. Sickening that people can consider a hardened, depraved criminal the savior of one caste or another. Twisted mentality. Drastic overhaul of electoral law needed to break politician-gangster nexus. Drastic reforms of police and judicial system needed to ensure law enforcement, justice and protection to the common citizen.
You touched the core problem : ‘India’s caste system is a disgrace. Sickening that people can consider a hardened, depraved criminal the savior of one caste or another.’
But your solution did not refer to this. The caste system should have been eradicated through school education system from childhood. Congress should have done it.
But caste is the bedrock of Hinduism. Therein lies the problem.
Good analysis. In the latter paras, the writers asseert that Brahmins and Thakurs are still dominent. The last Brahmin CM to rule UP was ND Tiwari. For over three decades, Brahmin leaders have been out of power. In UP where either political power or criminal muscle along matter for remaining in reckoning, how did Brahmins still remained dominent? I think, this part of the analysis is flawed.
As a south Indian, I have not come across a caste based mafia culture here, much less a Brahmin mafia. Brahmins are generally considered incapable of such violence. I am distressed that castes out of political power have to form Mafias for protecting their interests. Probably, Vikas Dubey did not protect Brahmin interests. It shows how far down the civilisational ladder UP has slid.
UP elected a criminal Yogi, who had cases against him. Hindus see him as a saviour of Hindus and cows.
Sorry to say but only Jyoti Yadav in the Print looked at this evil Vikas Dube as some sort of gaurav of brahmins and tried to create some sort of brahmin narrative around him on the basis of twitter etc. (we had recommended that she be fired from twitter. any young person with so much kalushta in her mind should not be given any responsibility; still stand by that recommendation)
Brahmins hate Vikas Dube.
Brahmins were his main target.
He was a goonda who could work unhindered because of the curious system of policing and justice that we have in India, especially in UP, wherein the innocent have little protection.
Yogiji is providing some semblance of justice to the public at large much like Mayawati did earlier.
Mayawati was lambasted by ignorant commentators from Delhi then and Yogi is being condemned by ignorant critics from Delhi now.
Mayawati could not manage a re-election, hopefully Yogi would, despite all the animus shown by thePrint
Yogi is a communalist, casteist, and he has criminal charges which he dropped when he became CM. But he is the saviour of Hindus for you. So India’s problem is Hinduism.
An apt and well-researched one and that too by Delhi based academicians. kudos. These criminals are like cockroaches. You cannot eliminate them but they can be only restricted. In Akhilesh Government, Muslim small-time musclemen were patronised resulting reign of terror in towns leading to the rise of Islamophobia while our innocent Muslims remained out of the game but had to suffer. The Islamophobia helped the BJP in winning the assembly elections spectacularly.
The Media and Institutions who purports to attempt to glorify a mafia/criminal into a messiah are NO LESS CRIMINALS in the country and require to be Banned, Banished and Boycotted wholeheartedly.

What a joke.Media created a don out of a petty criminal .So pen is mightier than atom bomb not a sward.
The older warlords have morphed into local criminals today
Feudalism
