I hvae yet to hear ONE positive news about India since 2014 from the BBC. Long back, I didnt agree whole heartedly to Rupert Mudrochs view about BBC,but now I just hope that tv licensing fee gets scrapped by BoJo. And yes, i think , since 2014, bbc reporting about India has been so biased that even the hits they are getting on that section of url, is more by people like you and me. To me , their credibility is so bad, that I have stopped relying on BBC any International news or am suspicious to amything they report in International section. In modern world, most nris and Indians do not need bbc to tell, how is India. But Bbc can’t understand that in day and age of SM, life of fale news is very small.

Well they have to give some output to justify their paymasters ( Soros and ISI) no matter how biased and idiotic it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that report about India developing its own test kit which is 3 times faster and 3 times cheaper than cheapest import had full of negative India. Chloroquinn is first line of defense against Corona. Anyone born in Malaria infected parts can guess why it has got the properties. But BBC won’t give credit to Indian docs for that Indian rich and poor, Admin and peasants, all have come together in this time of crisis. While in UK, Rich are still trying to make money while backbone of NHS( indians origin Brits) are still being told that save lives without PPE. serious question: Why do you guys care so much about the western media? Western media targets western audiences. their primary function is to defend the strategic interests of western governments and corporations, while making a case for strengthening western institutions (such as democracy). to this end, they oppose strong, majoritarian governments in non-western countries. if you want an indian view, go watch Doordarshan or some indian news channel with access to indian governments and corporations. india making cheap test kits within its own borders is bad news for western medical device manufacturers. the BBC, like most western media, is unquestionably pro free-trade, so a development like this is fair game for criticism. as is anything else that is 'made in india'. how else are westerners supposed to be aware of potential business opportunities in india?

If you only stream shows on Netflix, Prime etc then no need to pay mishra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh really? how do you counter the opinion that "india is a shithole and america is better", when the person on the other side of the fence could easily say, "if you think india is a decent country, why are you living here and not there?" I think you're wasting your time. Personally, i would cut western media some slack. Its their job to criticize western countries and identify business opportunities. Showing the positive side of India is NOT their job, that is the Indian media and the indian governments job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not said to the many many lower skilled people from Easter Europe who flooded the UK to get a better life due to the freedom of movement rules. Yeah they might have moved here but dont expect them to not react to any criticism of their country. So why are Indians asked to leave? They contribute a lot more than a lot of migrant groups in western countries.. doesnt mean they automatically lose the right to stand up for their home country as a result of unwarranted criticism?

You are assuming the other side wants a debate. they don't. they believe they are superior, and your presence in their country (and their avoidance of yours) proves their point.

Latinos has been historically a bloc that votes for the Democrats more..why? Due to the anti Mexico rhetoric by Trump and the Republicans. Labour felt the shockwaves when a lot if traditional British Indians that voted for them, abandoned them in the last general election due the anti India stance/anti hindu stance they were spouting. You are underestimating the clout that ethnic minorities have in the western political sphere... some use their clout better than others i guess.

You are a minority, and you can't influence the country's foreign policy. only one minority actually influences foreign policy...the jews. and they aren't treated as a distinct ethnic group.
