Do you not understand how much you weaken yourself when you allow yourself to believe this? Legitimate criticism is the cornerstone of improvement. The only people who don't want criticism to be aired are those who are not genuinely interested in making things better, but rather benefit from them remaining bad.

  What did Soros say wrong in the video? "India is a democracy but its leader is not a democrat. Inciting violence against muslims was an important factor in his meteoric rise." I also agree with the second link that you shared. Media is weaponized against democracy. All the mainstream TV channels in India are busy attacking opposition, or dis-crediting any protests against government or promoting Hindu-Muslim hatered. Most of the channels are owned by crony capitalists which have ties to the government.

    Ignore him, he seems too brain washed or part of the propaganda machine. BJP has control of major new channels and controls the media narrative constantly and this guy blabbers on about media being weaponized. They banned a documentary by BBC because it hurt the feelings of Modi, but had no problems with an ex PM during election time and released a movie criticizing him. One of the top BJP leaders recently made a statement saying "Muslims are not equals so they don't deserve equal rights". And I'm pretty sure this guy in comments will be the first one to arrive when, more states pass anti-caste discrimination laws in the US, claiming religious persecution.

      Don't make it personal. You don't know me and I don't know you. We are all here for curious and intellectual discussions.

        Intellectual discussion happens on real facts and statements, not made up accusations of "propaganda" when presented eith objective fact.

        You are neither curious nor participating in an intellectual discussion, you are just making statements from thin air.
