In this latest episode of TRPhobia, Nivedita takes a sharp, no-nonsense look at how India’s mainstream “godi media” is busy chasing easy headlines while ignoring stories that truly matter. While the nation grapples with serious developments in Ladakh, including local protests and critical concerns about the region’s environment and security, prime-time newsrooms are instead obsessed with sensational distractions.
 
Nivedita highlights how visionary climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and the people of Ladakh are raising their voices against policies that threaten the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. These protests, which have far-reaching implications for India’s ecological balance and border stability, deserve national attention. Yet many channels would rather run debates about whether meat shops should remain open during Navratri.
