Hitler in India: Modi ("While We Watched")


There are two issues being reported here, which are connected in that they are part of the news in India. The news in India is in crisis, and Manipur is burning after men paraded two naked ethnic minority women then gangraped one of them while the police did nothing other than side with their ethnicities in stoking and arming violent extremists.

While We Watched (trailer)
(MetFilm Distribution) June 16, 2023. Directed by Vinay Shukla, the award-winning While We Watched is a turbulent newsroom drama intimately chronicling the working days of broadcast journalist Ravish Kumar as he navigates a spiraling world in India of truth and disinformation. As factual reporting is in freefall globally, While We Watched is a dignified lens into the abyss. In UK cinemas July 14 metfilmdistribution.co.uk/while we watched...


"While We Watched" documentary spotlights Indian journalist Ravish Kumar's fight for truth in Modi's [corrupt, racist, nationalist] India
(Democracy Now!) July 20, 2023. Latest Shows. As world leaders from the United States to France welcome India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi [a kind of Trump-Hitler hybrid], Democracy Now! looks at dying press freedom in India under the leadership of Modi's Hindu nationalist party BJP.

One of India's last bastions of free media, NDTV, has been taken over by Indian billionaire Gautam Adani (the third richest man in the world), believed to have close ties to Modi. NDTV's former executive editor and longtime anchor Ravish Kumar, one of India's most prominent TV journalists who has reported critically on Modi's Hindu nationalist policies, is the subject of Vinay Shukla's film While We Watched -- which is being released this week in theaters in the United States. Kumar and Shukla speak about the "anti-opposition, anti-minorities, anti-Muslim" state of mass media in India, where dissent is suppressed and pro-Modi nationalism is the de facto rule.

"No sober society can afford to have a kind of rogue media, which is so weaponized," says Kumar.

Manipur Horror: Outrage as two women paraded naked [then raped] on camera
(Vantage with Palki Sharma) A disturbing video of two naked [ethnic minority] women being paraded by a mob in Manipur has triggered outrage across India. The incident happened on May 4, 2023, and a police complaint was filed on May 18th, but nothing was done. [In fact, the police are implicated in aiding and abetting or ignoring the crimes]. Why then did it take 76 days for Manipur police to arrest suspects or the known culprits? As violence continues to grip the state (in easternmost India), Palki Sharma says why it's time for top state leaders to step aside.
