In this video, we explore the alarming state of press freedom in India, where journalism is becoming increasingly dangerous. The Maharashtra government’s Media Monitoring Center aims to track, analyze, and take action against "negative" or "misleading" news, raising concerns about censorship. Meanwhile, the Broadcasting Bill seeks to regulate digital news platforms, OTT content, and social media, potentially silencing independent voices. Journalists reporting on government failures, poverty, and corruption face FIRs, arrests, and sedition charges, with cases of media suppression increasing rapidly. From the farmers' protests to COVID-19 mismanagement, journalists covering uncomfortable truths have been harassed or jailed. The government appears more focused on controlling narratives rather than addressing real issues, while mainstream media, often labeled "Godi Media," plays along, muting critical voices. As press freedom erodes, the larger question arises—can democracy survive without a free press? Watch the full video to understand how censorship is being normalized and why this fight for press freedom concerns every citizen. Share your thoughts in the comments and don’t forget to subscribe!
