Summary/Abstract |
Sub-conventional conflict in India primarily constitutes internal armed conflict with or without external involvement. The media plays a significant role: it reports the news, thus fulfilling the people's right to information, and it holds the government and its forces accountable. The media has a complex relationship with the army and dissident forces. Both the dissident forces and the army want to use the media: the former for publicity and the latter to keep the people informed of various developments in the campaign.
