After cheering the ban on Chinese apps, the latest coping mechanism of Indian TV news seems to be focusing on the plight of the Uyghur Muslims in China.
National and regional TV news debates have made political spokespersons the face of their parties, but many do not have real political experience and it shows.
Aaj Tak anchor Anjana Om Kashyap seemed to be auditioning for a dialogue writer's role. Channels not satisfied with police-criminal nexus went looking for gangster Vikas Dubey's wife.
Be it Aaj Tak, ABP News, Zee News, or Republic TV, there was no fire and brimstone, no grand claims of India destroying enemy China, all of which is reserved for Pakistan.
Journalists could be seen screaming into microphones that they had recorded footage of all injured and dead in the plane crash, so that ‘we can bring it to you first’.
When Modi delivered his lockdown speech and announced a Rs 20-lakh crore package for India, many TV anchors felt their chests swell with patriotic pride.
In episode 452 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta delves into the broken business model of news media in light of the layoffs and salary cuts due to Covid-19.
After a long time, the focus of Indian TV news isn’t Delhi Durbar, but virologists, healthcare workers and chief ministers of states from Bengal to Kerala.
Forget comparing it with classics like Hrithik’s Ek Pal Ka Jeena or the slick title track of Dhoom 2, Janaab-e-Aali does not even come close to Ghungroo.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Pure Bullshit… India does not have just 1 minority community and there are so many….. Everyone is living peacefull life…
How the hell do you Pseudo Secularists.. see things only one sided….
Genocide of Kashmiri pandits.. is fine… Moplah genocide… Is fine…Force conversion is fine…Love jihad is fine.. Demolition Of ancient architecture is fine……. Anti india slogan is fine….. (For jihadi liberals)
There is no way … You can compare.. uighur genocide… To India..
THE PRINT is just another Terrorists funded ….bootlicking Myth Storytelling organization…
There is no trace of journalism here.. just get the title removed … This article’s of yours ..are just.. some lies and openions… which bigots like you people love to spread…
I won’t ask you to not spread hate… because your whole organization runs on it…
Also do mention the name of writer… when you post articles.. let the country know…. How many snakes we have …who drink terrorist milk..!
Get your facts… Correct.. !
True brother…this article must’ve been written by smone who isn’t living in india…I’m a hindu and my best friend is a muslim…and pls stop this bullshit..if muslims were being ill treated they can approach the media freely and they will make it a big deal
Very Well said , sir
The print.. can you do anything else apart from spreading fake narrative.. can you give me an example of single state, city, village, mohalla where Muslims aren’t treated well in india? But I can tell many cities where hindus and other minorities were forced to leave by muslim majority..
Why can’t you say anything about kashmiri pandits ( hindus) and sikhs who were genocided by peaceful Islamists??
Can you talk about mewat, how its becoming mini pakistan?
Can you talk about bengal where every day a Hindu worker is found dead along with his complete family?
Can talk about Ramalingam a backward class Hindu who was killed by Islamists for stopping conversion?
Can you tell world about kamlesh tiwari? Just propaganda propaganda and nothing else..
If any foreigner is reading this, please do not believe them they’re just trying to divide India once again and make it a islamic nation just like they did in 1947.. no muslim is unsafe here.. yeah we agree that attacks on muslims happen but so on hindus and other people.. but they just show when victim is muslim.. they just play victim card nothing else..
India is a country of multiple religions , why so much focus on just one religion. Do Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Christians have these issues. Zoroastrians are a smaller minority than this group, but are safe in India. This a a manufactured and distorted myopic vision propelled by certain organized groups, but now a days everyone is able to see through these groups and know them and their agenda. India is safe and it is due to the reason that Indians are more aware now.
Great,In India Muslim are the majority of minorities that’s why poltics see the best vote bank in them .and that’s why these people try to convince that they are in danger .?there are 200million Muslims in India its not small.how can they be in danger
Try Chinese that Muslims need 4 wives and 15 Children as per Quran. Chinese will first concede other pronouncements in Quran like Public Flogging, Limb Chopping before the concede Muslim demand for more than one child, Halala or Inatant Divorce. Honestly, India should have been a Muslim Free Nation after 1947.
What Muslims do here because of emergence of Muslims Parties masquerading as National Parties, they can’t even dare that in China

Now for your education, this what China does as its State Policy..it is from International Press.
There is nothing wrong about Indian Muslims. They are a pampered lot. So there is need for TV anchors to show outrage. TV anchors are justified in using anything against a sworn enemy country. They don’t have to be fair to the enemy. You are promoting exclusivism of Indian Muslims by nurturing the idea that they are an oppressed lot. Don’t do it. Has India done anything comparable to what China has done to Uyghur Muslims?
The worst genocide was of Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir that too in a secular country. The anchors consider CAA discriminatory knowing fairly well that the country got partitioned on the basis of religion. With large population of poor people with severe pressure on employment how can we grant citizenship to Muslims from pakistan and Banladesh when the have got their share of assets.
Kashmir genocide needs to be highlighted every time as lacs of people lost their ancestral home and the community got disseminated.
Oh! the Uyghur story is not new and has been steadily covered by international media??!! really! really! which international media exactly are you talking about? No. no international news media has covered the plight of the Uyghurs until very recently. Yes, they are all doing it for their own convenience. Covid has made the world go against China, not that I blame the world. China is at fault for not being transparent about it and thereby unleashing this horrid virus everywhere. But, more to the point, what amazes me is journos like you who blatantly lie – like saying international media has steadily covered the Uyghur’s crisis. But this is exactly how agenda driven supposed journos like you talk utter nonsense and what’s more – wanna be elitists believe this crap that is routinely churned out. No country is perfect and things can definitely improve. yes. But, that does not mean you distort reality and exaggerate claims that can do some real damage. So once again I say, Shut up.
Dear author/journo. Please don’t write anymore. No seriously. People like you take up valuable print space online when someone more discerning and objective can write on things in a far better way. In short. Shut up. Just plain shut up.
What do you suggest – how do gov. deport illegal foreigners? I feel frustrated everytime I hear resemblance of Assam’s detention centres with Chinese re-education camps or Nazi extermination centres. This is what best lib media could do?
The most biased article I have ever seen.
On one hand the author says that Muslims in India have all the freedom in the world or the other hand says that they are afraid.
So mostly the problem must lie in that communities brain as they feel oppressed as long as they are not in majority.
Disgusting!!
Difficult not to feel sorry for the war boy anchors striding into their studios each evening, humming Izzat watan ki hum se hai under their breath. Ladakh is asking them to define where their true loyalties lie.
Kairvy, you are trying very hard to equate the Indian majority with the Chinese govt.
May be you are eyeing that exalted status of Indian journos – when they aid minorities & add Dalits plus tribals to this group to provide greater legitimacy.
In the bargain, you are actually accusing & abusing the aam Aadmi of the majority for a crime he or she isn’t committing at all, because for almost all of them, there is no difference amongst fellow citizens.
You can’t accuse an entire majority for sins of the fringe – and fringe elements thrive in every country.
In China, the govt itself is the fringe ! By your convoluted logic, the Indian majority is the fringe !
Wow, really, Kairvy ?
Such grossly misjudged narratives will however take you to the top in Pakistani or other anti-india media.
Is this what you want ? Abuse you own & climb up on their shoulders ?
Mr sekhar gupta shown his double standard, hypocrisy, these so called media blood thirsty vulture are funded by Pakistan and china, they will not write opposite things to their AKKAS i. e china and Pakistan, being india media part,he is tarnishing india media, such dangerous article should be censored, you must be ashamed of yourself, I hope you take feedup, your journalism is bogus and sub standard.
What kind of atrocities are being committed against muslims? Are they being deprived of their way of life. are they being deprived of following their culture, their religion. Are they being deprived of livelihood by the govt, on the basis of them being Muslims. The writer is simply being preposterous in thinking. Yes, there is politics, which have created gap between some hindus and muslims. This gap was always there. During the reign of the Congies, it was the other way round. Where some hindus were getting wrong end of the stick. Muslims had strong political backing then. They continue to have strong political backing from those opposing the present dispensation. Thats how democaracy works. Political parties will work for their respective interest groups. It does not mean they will ignore other groups. I fail to understand, how political differences, especially in a democracy, means ENIMITY. So lets not compare whats happening to Muslims in China with happenings here in India.
I recently read the birth rate of muslims in China dropped by 25, 40%. Lets talk when such thing happen in India. Also I wonder how many articles has this author has written about Pakistan Hindus who can’t even build a temple and cremation ground in Islamabad. Why world has been quiet about it?
Another news trader who begrudges those in her profession more talented and successful than her. Irony died a thousand deaths when so called secualr journalists in India lament about the plight of Muslims in a democracy with an independent judiciary like India but remain silent of the systematic persecution of Hindus in not just neighbouring Islamic majority nations but even in Muslim majority Kashmir valley where over 2 lakh Kashmiri Hindus were victims of ethnic genocide. The so called Secular media hasn’t just whitewashed these atrocities but actively worked to justify and condone these persecutions!
Today the same hypocrites oblivious of their own willful myopia and nefarious agenda try to edify their peers about hypocrisy and irony!
Ek baar ek ladki thi….. Usko kaanta chubh gaya…. Usne hospital phone lagaya aur boli… Emergency hai… Need immediate medical attention …send the helicopter now to Air lift me. Hospital walon ne poocha kya hua hai? To wo chillane lagi aur gusse me boli… “Don’t you send helicopters when people get hurt badly and need emergency care…. I too am hurt badly! ”
You article suffers from exactly the same problem as described in the incident above….. List down the action which Chinese state government has taken to “control” the muslims…. And now list down what indian government has done. There is nothing comparable… No maulavis have been made to dance in india…. No musalmaan has been stopped from 5 times namaaz…..and many more to list down when you try to compare and list down the state declared acts in the name of controlling “them”
Blowing up the regular tiffs in india (these have been there for last 1000 years in some or other form in Indian subcontinent) and equating it to Chinese state declared act of controlling the muslims is exactly same as saying that I am badly hurt and need an emergency evacuation…. Because…. “Kaanta laga” is not same as “Goli lagi”
Wirh this article, The Print has relaunched its leftist pro-Islamic divisive campaign.
Did you receive fresh instructions from your Chinese paymasters?
Please publish a photo of this writer as well. People should know how many snakes are being fed within our countries. These quislings give journalism a bad name.
Situation is exactly the opposite of what is mentioned in this article.
Find the odd one out w.r.t outrage among left leaning media professionals:

my comment hasn’t been posted for asking simple question. No abuse or profanity. Am I still in India? Why this intolerance by ThePrint!
How much money got from China and the jihadis…for writing this trash Kairvy…? Sold your conscience for what…?
What do you suggest – how do gov. deport illegal foreigners? I feel frustrated everytime I hear resemblance of Assam’s detention centres with Chinese re-education camps or Nazi extermination centres. This is what best lib media could do?
For how much the author sold her soul to Chinese commies to write this B.S.

“Charity begins at home”. India must first look into despicable situations of Indian minority, where being Muslim is increasingly seen as crime.
TV anchors outrage over Uyghurs in China, but stay quiet about Indian Muslims
Yes. Because Indian Muslims are not in concentration camps, or forced to shave beards or not allowed to wear Niqab.

Hypocrisy ki bhi seema hoti hi…..
Indian Muslims are well saved and protected in India and they will enjoy the democracy under Indian Law till times live.

How many times the author Grewal has criticized Muslims of Pakistan and supported Hindus of Pakistan and Afghanistan ?
Wirh this article, The Print has relaunched its leftist pro-Islamic divisive campaign.
Did you receive fresh instructions from your Chinese paymasters?
Author clearly lacks the facts on the ground.
An Arab Muslim say mazar maqbara is our identity where is kagaz of majority community.
An Arab Muslim says 25 crores will outmaneuver 100 crores.
An Arab Muslim say leave police for 15 mins and see what we will do.
2 lac Arab Muslim take out janaza for terrorist who killed mumbaikars in Mumbai.
Thousand of Arab Muslim desecrate jawan jyoti in support of rohingyas and riot at azad maidan.
Arab Muslim openly offer namaz in road railway stations and wherever they can get space defying civic norms and court orders.
Arab Muslim mosques offer namaz through loudspeakers defying court orders.
These are the specifics, facts on the ground to counter your cabal peddling as journalism.
In all these instance enlighten your readers how Arab Muslim are oppressed in India.
If you some journalistic integrity left offer an apology or do journalism a favor by leaving it.
Please publish a photo of this writer as well. People should know how many snakes are being fed within our countries. These quislings give journalism a bad name.
