I wish more independent Indian media houses & social movements have their presence in #Fediverse. That would help the #Indian diaspora to consider sticking to the Fediverse.
In the last 7 years of my presence in Fediverse there was only 1 exodus of #Indian and #Tamil diaspora into Fediverse. That too as a protest against #Twitter censorship.
Between the producer - consumer dilemma, the producer should always be the first.

Most Indian media (including the so-called Left/Liberal like TheWire/Quint/Scroll) shy away from calling the latest "Israeli"/US attack an act of terror or a war crime.
I found only NewsClick to have an unbiased coverage.

The 3rd of October 2023: the day that changed the lives of more than 80 citizens of India, including mine
On 3 October 2023, the home of veteran Indian journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta was raided by the Delhi police force.

Of late, the unauthorised and arbitrary seizure of devices by police from journalists, academics and lawyers have led to outrage about the rising impunity and absence of rules around it. The apex court’s guidelines should go some distance to set up guardrails.
