Vichaar: Raqib Hameed Naik on State Censorship of the Press

In this episode of Vichaar, we talked to Mr. Raqib Hameed Naik who is a Kashmiri journalist, his work focuses on censorship of the State and the State's attempt to persecute religious minorities. The discussion in the episode centred on the experiences of journalists and their loved ones due to censorship by the state. We looked at how living experiences of truthful reporting by journalists have led to continuous harassment and scrutiny by the state to censor their work. This also inherently impacts their safety as well as their loved ones. The discussion also narrates the current landscape in journalism and the systemic change that has occurred in the reporting of news over the years, which is due to the growing majoritarian government in our country.
