Historic moment for India-US relations: It’s time Western media stopped behaving like Chinese Trojan horses

Firstpost  

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarks on a state visit to the United States, the Western media seems to be on an anti-India overdrive. The article, titled ‘India’s Worsening Democracy Makes It an Unreliable Ally’, treads the similar anti-India path as it writes, quite predictably: “The treatment of Muslims, who form 14 per cent of India’s population, has worsened. Female Muslim students in one state were banned from wearing head-scarves.” One can cite one Western report after another pushing the same anti-India narrative: That India is an economic powerhouse… but it is being run by Hindu nationalists; that Modi is popular but he is authoritarian; that India is still a democracy, a flawed one of course, but the minorities, especially Muslims, are being targeted and oppressed. Amol Parth, a media analyst-cum-journalist, for his 2021 article, ‘An Analysis of Global Media Coverage of Events in India’, published in The Communicator, “studied more than 3,000 India-related articles by The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Time and The Guardian over the last decade”. This explains the kind of hostility Prime Minister Modi is facing in the US despite the Biden administration apparently willing to accommodate India’s interests.
