Indian journalism
Dr. Abdul Ruff Colachal, JNU, New Delhi
Many countries like India use the term democracy just for no serious purpose: the democracy plank is employed by them to entertain corruption and nepotism. The Indian news media, just as those in the USA and other "democracies' do not appreciate any criticism of their favourite political platforms, howsoever wrong the situation that warrants criticism may be. At times they don't mind if a journalist from any underprivileged community condemns a particular political party or its policies in accordance with the political philosophies of the media concerned, but they cannot approve of criticising the media when the norms of Indian "democracy" just don't allow that!
