Bolta Hindustan Targeted For Speaking Truth’: Why A Media Startup Is Facing MIB's Wrath In a recent assault on press freedom, the YouTube channel of ‘Bolta Hindustan’, a Hindi news platform which had close to 3 lakh subscribers was suspended. A decade into Modi’s rule, ironically, much of the visible opposition to the BJP is coming from the internet. This trend best characterised by a young Haryanvi YouTuber named Dhruv Rathee. In February, for example, Rathee released a video where he argued that India under Modi was now moving towards being a one-party dictatorship. Remarkably, the video was viewed more than 23 million times.There is little in the genre of current affairs and politics on Indian YouTube that garners this quantum of views, not even the videos put up by mainstream media.
