@RaveiD f you do that, you will have to take the criticism of the international surveys not based on Indian data and the forced universalisation of the data. For instance: The RSF ranked India is a worse place for journalists than Afghanistan without considering per capita basis or qualitative information. India saw the steep decline even under MMS because they don't have reliable data. I am not denying there are problems in India even as a right leaning Individual. Are there Twitter mobs? Yes. Is there an editorial control over journalism to stay shareholder and govt friendly? Yes. Is there occasional violence or government action against journalists? Yes. But this was true of every era of Indian journalism. To compare Afghanistan has only two journalist deaths(even this was a bombing of a journalist convention) because most journalists have fled the country, very few travel and last year Taliban banned female journalists from appearing on screen even if they wore a full niqab. These are Taliban friendly women journalists btw. There is simply no sense of equivalence or comparison. We fare worse than them on the ranking, somehow?
