British Media & Anti-Indian Propaganda
Dishonesty is the word which comes to mind describing the British media coverage of India. It all started when the British were ejected out after stealing $45 trillion from India after a long rule. They wanted to steal more, but were shown the door. They never reconciled and wanted to retain some influence after they were gone. That influence was initially thru civil service, army officers, laws and legal influences and worst of all thru its reincarnated British style parliamentary democracy. After a while, the influence of the first two was gone. It is the parliamentary system, a true copy of the British system is still here. All their influences are exercised using media.
Even Nehru in the early days of independence could not limit the media influences. His 1962 Chinese debacle was extensively distorted to destroy him. Indira Gandhi, his daughter was very rudely dealt with by the British media. Concurrently, they were heaping praise on Dictators like General Ayub Khan and Yahya Khan. This trend never stopped. They coined the word Hindu growth rate of 3% to degrade India's accomplishments, but on the contrary, they never said a word about economic mismanagement in Pakistan. This negative trend against India never stopped and continued as rulers like Manmohan Singh (Sonia Gandhi) messed up Indian economy when the next door Chinese economy gathered steam.
Now, if the Hindu nationalists are in charge of India and do an excellent job of running the country, they are regularly criticized. Today India looks like a construction site where new roads expressways, railway line, new airports, digital new cities are under construction or completed on a vast scale. This high growth rate and fast decision-making is not well received. They hate a 7% to 8% growth rate, (with the exception of the pandemic year). Today, the Indian economy is $3 trillion strong which is higher than the British Economy. They are now on a spree to find loopholes.
All this is being done with the express approval of our dysfunctional parliamentary system and British educated middle class lead media.
These days they are seeking ideas to criticize the current government. One such issue has been the Agriculture Act, which was recently proclaimed. It has nothing to do with farmers, but the media made it look like an attack on farmers. The new legislation only changes the Nehru/Indira Gandhi era of government buying agricultural products from farmers. He eliminated a highly corrupted intermediate layer of Commissionaires. This issue was fabricated and relaunched as an attack on farmers who are spoiled babies with huge subsidies and loans, anyway. The British media were the first to make inappropriate propaganda and instigated people of Indian origin in both the UK and Canada. Without knowledge of the facts, they rose up. I am glad the Indian government did not budge. So much so that ultimately the British High Commissioner in India had to be summoned and rebuked for their activities locally and abroad. It is they who wrote volumes of anti Indian propaganda. It was fairly well-organized propaganda. In fact, its origin was the British High Commission India. That is why rebuke was heaped on them. They did not know that powerful India could side with Scottish and Irish independence, if they persisted.
Indian media are influenced by the British. They watch their trend and then go along on those lines and scorn Indian leaders. Press freedom is the word they utter. Anti government views are their main staple. They continue to scorn even the good things now in progress. It is bad propaganda. Now the British media is the prime mover of bad rating by a Swedish website to Indian democracy. ..... Hell with the British Media.
