Of course, all is well for government shills. Dismiss every negative news as one of the following:

- Western propaganda - Anti India forces - Foreign hand - Pakistan - Anti-nationals

Actually go and read about coverage of India in NYt and WaPo. Those editors have a Vendetta out. I have not seen more dishonest coverage about India . Not everything is happy and progressive in india but it is far from the hell hole these media organisations show. Infact democracy rankings rank India below Taliban controlled Afghanistan. Are you kidding me ? What kind of drug they are on ?

Not sure what are you trying to say here. Are you saying it's false news? Manipur has no violence? Hundreds didn't get killed/injured? You have everything to complain about foreign media but not a word on people dying?

Here is the news from Adani's own news channel. Do you think Adani has Vendetta against India? https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/60-killed-over-200-injured-i...

If I can recommend one article to read: "Your critics are your best friends" https://www.thedailystar.net/opinion/perspective/news/your-c...

Tell me what Hindu and Christian have to do in this case. And mentioning the expected keywords in the title and sub title and nudging the people to think in line with a certain narrative, is what the western media is master of. And I’m not a government shill, and to be honest I think this issue is 100% on the shoulders of the state government which is BJP. And western media propaganda is also real.

Pardon my language in previous comment. I am just sad/angry because innocent people are being killed.

Governments are responsible when this happens and we need to raise our voices.

Your comment about "Hindu and Christian" might be valid. It might be a "western media propaganda" as well. But the main topic is that thousands of people got displaced, hundreds got killed/injured and that is the part that matters the most. How does it improves the outlook if they hadn't mentioned "Hindu and Christian" in the title? Does it become a happy news or does it bring glory to the name of government or India?

So imho, we should not dilute the topic by nitpicking when its a news about hundreds getting killed.
