I am Nepali Hindu living in USA for last 34 years. My few cents on this topics are as below 1. West never put any weight on India until China rose and geopolitical situation changed 2. The west does not accept any non Abrahamic religions and so the bias persist..this is not only to Indians in India but to all non Abrahamic religions followers living in west. 3. The west uses the expats write against their country to give more credibility to their view.. these people are mostly either bribed or brainwashed to other religions 4. In terms of Modi, there is no positive info that gets published. There is no coverage on how India has pulled over 400 millions people out of extreme poverty in last decade or so 5. India does need to promote positive propaganda like China has done for so many years. Guna Subedi
I have clearly noticed the expats and their emulation of Jaichand and Mir Jaffar. A list need to be prepared of these people and their acrivities need to be highlighted.
Absolutely correct. This nonsense of vish guru is utter humbug. ANI, like this sanghi prasar bharti, is a pet lapdog fed at the hands of the dictator master.
I’m glad this topic was chosen. I am sick of the western media highlighting one incident and show casing rest of the country as same way. These so called western media - The New York Times, Washington Post, Bloomberg Etc are the worst news outlet funded by CCP and people who do not want to see india to be great nation.
I live in London since the last 50 years -Indian by birth but a British Citizen. I much appreciate all Smita's brilliant pod casts. This one in particular was a superb example of exposing the West's media bias against a rising India. However good the BBC and the Guardian have been in the past, to me they have displayed an inexplicable bias with respect to the rise of Modi, India and Hinduism. Its clear they have very poor understanding of the complexities of India and the great civilisation it represents. Thank goodness Modi, Jaishanker and balanced Journalists like Smita can rise above this chatter and let results and actions prove them utterly wrong. "Eggs on their face" is the best answer to all of them!
You are absolutely right. I came back to India because of Modiji and now waiting for people like you to come back to India. I don't understand why taking citizenship of the country which made India slave for 200 years. Please come back home here and support rising India by living in India. 🙏
Hear hear. Born in London with Gujarati heritage, it's been so frustrating with the media here and how bad they have been not going beyond selective events to frame India/Modi so badly. Anything that is said about Hinduism is always branded Hindu fascism.
Saying "they have a very poor understanding of the complexities of India and the great civilization it represents ", shows our naivety. They know everything and they have all the understanding. They are running an agenda to influence Indian citizens and other countries' citizens so that we will start doubting our government. Who is actually paying them is the question? Maybe Congress and its allies, maybe Western countries, who see India's growth as a threat and do not want India as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council . Bharat national security and Bharat growth are what matters, which PM Modi is making sure of. We are on the right path, we should not go into people's appeasement.
@@travel80-k5wYou are right, there is a narrative being peddled in the West. And it feels there is influence from those who held the space for ages and were gatekeepers. Eg if you tell me Modi is bad and I am lazy I won’t actually see if that is true. Unfortunately many are still asleep to realise. Many of us have woken up though.
This is one the most well researched and informative talk show in a while. We can all sense the hate for India Indians and Hinduism in the western media (Al Jazeera included) for quite a while.
Shame on Western Media.. Proud of the way our FM is calling them out. Very imp to show western media their place. Amazing podcast. 👏.. Shame on those indian who are working anti-india..
There is money to be made in sucking up the West...and the Oil Rich desert dwellers. The Indians who are working anti India narrative is because they get money from those sources. If the Indian government starts throwing more money their way...they will flip in an instant. SM has blown the lid off these fake journalists and their money supplier's.

Unfortunately, all the Universities of the world are generating excessive / monstrous amounts of data supporting this false logic; the reports, the phd theses and research papers that are coming out of this are here to stay. That is fed to upcoming formative generations of scholars everywhere, so in the final analysis, the harm is done. Irrevocable, irreversible harm. Indian media reporters need to polish their critical thinking skills. The vicious cycle keeps propagating - Indian journalists keep feeding this stuff and getting rewarded for it.

Good discussion backed with facts. Good governance requires the use of saam, daam, dand, bhed with the right intent to benefit the nation and its subjects.
communication skills in India are not at par with the world media , so India has to work a lot at that, the love that Indians have for others and the world at large is not expressed and does not come across and is seen with suspicion . this podcast is one of the excellent ones and best I have seen recently.

And do read a lot to understand where the Mangalsutra comment came from, before you open your big mouth.

I'm glad an Indian media outlet like yourself is finally speaking up on this issue because the amount of times I've read headlines with "Hindu nationalism" "authoritarian" etc. to malign India's democratic credentials in the past week alone has been disgusting. These outlets fail to understand the diversity of Indian electorate & treat Hindus like a monolith. Most of these biased headlines come from Al Jazeera (downright communal, the worst kind, viewing everything only from nitpicked religious angles) & Western outlets like BBC, Washington Post and New York Times (still carrying the white man's burden & moral lecturing Indians over 'freedom' & 'secularism', the irony). There's no point in playing defensive because this arrogant liberal bias has seeped in deep for decades already. India should strongly build its own global media brand, putting forth India's story in India's words, and not through the words that US, UK, China, Qatar or Pakistan want to use for India. I say better late than never, Indian viewers are in millions, a huge chunk, which should be capitalized positively.
Excellent discussion!!! 👌👍 Reasons for the foreign media's apathy towards an emerging India have been very clearly and convincingly brought out...... Hats off to Ms.Smitha Prakash and Mr.Shashi Shekhar..... 🙏🌹🥰
@@bharathivenkitaraman689 , yes you're right.....👍😊 I used 'apathy' for want of a better word, while I was typing my text........ It's nervousness, fear, jealousy etc...... 😊
Actually fear of India rising some day.. Indians may have forgotten our history but the west strategists know about that. They know the potential of our nation. They know that one Shivaji who merely lived for 40 years, could put an end to the slavery of 300 years. Hence since 1947, they have put in strategically planned efforts to suppress the nation with the help of our politicians. They also know that the spiritual strength of Hinduism/Buddhism/Jainism is not with them. Hindus and India will rise as Hinduism gets stronger. Hence purposefully our nation was declared as secular, strong Hindu leaders like Sawarkar and Hindu institutions like RSS were suppressed and banned.
And BBC is tax payer funded. I'm sure the British people would rather have their taxes go towards fixing their own problems instead of doing fruitless propaganda half a world away.
Smita you Rock as usual 👌 Mr. Shashi has a wealth of knowledge in his sphere of work. On the whole you have dug a big hole in the foreign media and our opposition
This is an echo chamber discussion since the people that watch and can understand the duplicity of the Western media and liberal democracies already are well aware of everything that’s discussed. We need to build a narrative among the Bharatiya masses that’s an alternative to the myopic and superficial model of society promoted by liberal western democracies. This is what Modi ji is doing but the common people must become aware of the nefarious intentions of the U.S., Europe and China. This will also reduce religious conversions and the degradation of our rich heritage.
"Modification" He seems to be everywhere! Very interesting to see how what we consume through the day, where it actually starts and where it comes from.
A wonderful guest on the show. Very incisive and frank talks. Looking forward to seeing him in Modi 3 .0 cabinet. We have had insipid Ministers for Information. Prasar Bharati transformed under him. Jai Bharat 🙏 1:09:49
As a hindustani i wish for india to prosper, not only the rich and middle class. but also the poor classes. i hope they will not be left out, that there are no street children in big cities anymor who grow up without families. i hope that EVERYBODY (regardless of religion, caste) will have enough to eat, a house to sleep in and a safe environment. only then in my opinion india is succesful.
Smita ma’am, Your podcast is super awesome and there’s so much to learn especially interpret current affairs with facts. Thank you for this podcast in particular because even I wasn’t aware what PM Modi ji was trying to convey with his “Mangalsutra” remarks. I was like, what’s wrong with the PM??? And none of the newspapers or channels gave any kind of clarity on this statement, they were just vilifying him. And in our city (Bengaluru) we don’t get newspapers that are centrist in nature. There only & mostly far left leaning newspapers in circulation. I’ve loved all the podcasts that I’ve watched up until now, be it political ones, journalists and non political ones. I hope you are able to do a podcast with business tycoons as well including from eve financial sectors. Jaya Bharata jananiya Thanujaate, Jai he Karnataka maate! Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! 🇮🇳
A very interesting interview yet again by Smitaji. The host is so cool and composed with such a vast knowledge on worldwide journalism. Thanks again and it was a pleasure listening to Mr. Shashi Shekhar. 👍🙏
As per one global news paper, If 68-70% willing to choose BJP (Mr. Modi) as their leader then how come the democracy is in danger? Are we not allowed to choose the leader of our choice? Or does it become more Democratic when Indians choose the leader as per Western media's choice?
Very insightful interaction. I believe propaganda can be countered by propaganda only. To kickstart a discourse on topics like this is the first step in addressing the issue of propaganda against India.
पश्चिमी मीडिया को डर लग रहा है कि मोदीजी तीसरी बार भी दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी प्रजातांत्रिक राष्ट्र में बहुमत के साथ चुनकर आएंगे। पश्चिमी मीडिया को याद होना चाहिए कि चर्चिल ने भारत की आजादी को पचास साल का आशीर्वाद दिया था।
A question/suggestion to Smitaji.. why can't ANI set-up new product/service for foreign media houses, especially state media? You can have subscriptions to give them curated content/primer for the specific region of India they wish to have reportage about and buddy programs for their reporters providing local support of ANI reporters, adding additional shared income sources for ANI and local reporters.
I just have one request to all western countries that most of the Indian are happy with current government and happy for those who are not western countries should open their doors to welcome them in their democracy.
As Hon. P. M. said in the recent interview to Aaj Tak and India Today together, invite these foreign media houses to India and show them India's progress and ask them for the explanations about their allegations!
It's high time that all the Non Resident Indian Entrepreneurs realise that India is the destination to grow with and return back to Bharat. Take the first mover advantage.
Thank you Smita Prakash for the excellent and eye opening Podcast. I have been watching all your Podcasts since it's inception. Barring a few ( film related), the quality of your Podcasts are par excellence. Wishing you the best in your future endeavours. Regards Col(Dr) Surendra Ramamurthy
It's a pleasure listening to Mr. Shashi Shekhar's well articulated and structured conversation and Thanks to Ms. Smita for bringing this important topic. We should have a body who should research, analyse , monitor and respond with the proper and relevant counter narratives.
The Election Commission of India is conducting the general election democratically by creating atmosphere of free and fair polling is the head ache of indian pollstars and western medias need not worry about.Indians are well matured enough to elect the government they like without any external pressure.the example is 1977,1991,1998,2004 and on.
I noticed Smita that you were so soft on your podcast with US Ambassador and I was so much surprised on your show and ability tackle the foreign English speaking guest. So be careful and see where India stands on foreign policies
We recently have stopped subscribing to The Washington Post here in DC for their skewed view of most reports regarding India & Modi jee. The fact that Kejriwaal advertised in NY times with an incorrect school full page cover exposed the western media . Please do more such shows to highlight the leftist , two faced western media.
My partner is native USA citizen . Whenever i talk to him he says the USA is most rubbish country in the world. Even he wants to come to India and settle over here. He never says India but says Bharat.
The sensitization of Foreign Media and Jounalists visiting India is a crucial step to undertake. We need positive coverage to help speed up investments and other such aspects.
Brilliant podcast about how biased International media about India and of course the present leader Shri. Narendra Modi . Obviously quite a few Indian media houses and the opposition have contributed to the dirty cause without mincing any words!!
In Solomon Islands, people never cut down the trees instead they all surround it and curse it for hours long every day, weeks later the tree dies on its own. Exactly what has been done to Bharat and Sanatan.
Thanks ANI, Smita and Shashi for this enlightening podcast, well done! Very troubling to see these headlines. Shameful articles fed by Indian origin journalists looking to get ahead. At what cost?
I am Nepali Hindu living in USA for last 34 years. My few cents on this topics are as below

Very insightful interaction. I believe propaganda can be countered by propaganda only. To kickstart a discourse on topics like this is the first step in addressing the issue of propaganda against India.
पश्चिमी मीडिया को डर लग रहा है कि मोदीजी तीसरी बार भी दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी प्रजातांत्रिक राष्ट्र में बहुमत के साथ चुनकर आएंगे। पश्चिमी मीडिया को याद होना चाहिए कि चर्चिल ने भारत की आजादी को पचास साल का आशीर्वाद दिया था।
A question/suggestion to Smitaji.. why can't ANI set-up new product/service for foreign media houses, especially state media? You can have subscriptions to give them curated content/primer for the specific region of India they wish to have reportage about and buddy programs for their reporters providing local support of ANI reporters, adding additional shared income sources for ANI and local reporters.
I just have one request to all western countries that most of the Indian are happy with current government and happy for those who are not western countries should open their doors to welcome them in their democracy.
Awesome interview. Good work Smita
Very effective broadcast.....👍👍🙏🙏💐🌹💐🌹
Atlast a knowledgeable relative podcast from Smitha ji. "Media looks for discort "- Shekhar ji.
Thanks to both of you for this podcast
Excellent analysis, absolutely brilliant
Very informative. Much needed discussion
As Hon. P. M. said in the recent interview to Aaj Tak and India Today together, invite these foreign media houses to India and show them India's progress and ask them for the explanations about their allegations!
Very very informative and new episode. Thank you the entire podcast team and to the intellect respected speaker.
It's high time that all the Non Resident Indian Entrepreneurs realise that India is the destination to grow with and return back to Bharat.
Take the first mover advantage.
Thank you Smita Prakash for the excellent and eye opening Podcast.
I have been watching all your Podcasts since it's inception.

Wishing you the best in your future endeavours.

Wonderful clarity of thought .
Pleasure to listen to facts and views .
It's a pleasure listening to Mr. Shashi Shekhar's well articulated and structured conversation and Thanks to Ms. Smita for bringing this important topic. We should have a body who should research, analyse , monitor and respond with the proper and relevant counter narratives.
@Smita Prakash isnt it difficult to report on India with its huge diversity and the way that people generalise?
very informative program , thanks for such a informative program.
Thanks smitha mam for creating this content.
The Election Commission of India is conducting the general election democratically by creating atmosphere of free and fair polling is the head ache of indian pollstars and western medias need not worry about.Indians are well matured enough to elect the government they like without any external pressure.the example is 1977,1991,1998,2004 and on.
Nice to hear some mature discussion finally
I noticed Smita that you were so soft on your podcast with US Ambassador and I was so much surprised on your show and ability tackle the foreign English speaking guest. So be careful and see where India stands on foreign policies
Great session....bursting out the false narrative is the need of the hour...thank you for bringing out the truth with indepth research..namate
Excellent reviews and analysis by two of learned unbiased media exponents
One of the best and much needed podcasts.
We recently have stopped subscribing to The Washington Post here in DC for their skewed view of most reports regarding India & Modi jee. The fact that Kejriwaal advertised in NY times with an incorrect school full page cover exposed the western media . Please do more such shows to highlight the leftist , two faced western media.
जागो हिन्दू भाइयों और बहिनों
मोदी जी को ज़रूर खना चाहिए
हिन्दू धर्म बचाओ ।
मेरा प्राथना स्वीकार करो ।
Sashi ji 👌❤🙏🙇♂️
My partner is native USA citizen . Whenever i talk to him he says the USA is most rubbish country in the world. Even he wants to come to India and settle over here. He never says India but says Bharat.
Orientation for western media to understand Bharat 👍👍👍
The sensitization of Foreign Media and Jounalists visiting India is a crucial step to undertake. We need positive coverage to help speed up investments and other such aspects.
Brilliant podcast about how biased International media about India and of course the present leader Shri. Narendra Modi . Obviously quite a few Indian media houses and the opposition have contributed to the dirty cause without mincing any words!!
In Solomon Islands, people never cut down the trees instead they all surround it and curse it for hours long every day, weeks later the tree dies on its own. Exactly what has been done to Bharat and Sanatan.
Thanks ANI, Smita and Shashi for this enlightening podcast, well done! Very troubling to see these headlines. Shameful articles fed by Indian origin journalists looking to get ahead. At what cost?
