Fake news is being peddled as real news in India, and it is believed as factual, especially in support of the nationalist agenda of India's Prime Minister...

It seems that people from all political perspectives in America are lobbing "fake news" accusations at all sources of media. Our President has successfully convinced a huge segment of the population that the main stream media is out to get him with the biggest witch hunt in history.

Does the free press necessarily mean impartial/neutral? Do standards of journalism: getting out facts as accurately as possible, matter?

The current political situation in India is changing. Politics in India has been Christian dominated for the past several decades; however, due to recent religious bickering and state to state rivalries, the hindus, who are the majority have decided to vote in Hindu politicians citing that Christian politicians have been too lienient on handling radical Islam. At least that's what I was told when I visited Mumbai this past January.

In other words, the Hindus have had enough of the bombings and suicide squads and a are waging their own holy war against islam.
