Kamboj, Anil	Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

With the fast changing world geo-political scenario, it is becoming really challenging for the developing counties like India to keep pace with the new situations being developed. So far the Prime Minister Modi’s Government has done well in its foreign policy but would have to put in more efforts to do its homework better so as to fulfil the promises it has made. Since assuming office, the Prime Minister has pursued a vigorous foreign policy agenda with visits to a host of major countries as well as to several states in India’s immediate neighbourhood. Does the vigour that Modi has brought to India’s foreign policy reflect a fundamental shift or are these changes merely cosmetic? The question is far from trivial. At a time when China is pursuing an increasingly assertive foreign policy, when the future of the American re-balancing strategy is unclear and with much of the Middle East aflame, India’s foreign policy choices will have considerable bearing on the country’s overall fortunes. Mr Modi still has to articulate a framework for dealing with contending priorities in certain parts of the world.

Summary/Abstract

This paper presents a study of Indian media. Utilizing the Propaganda Model formulated by Herman and Chomsky in the book Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of Mass Media (1988), the paper aims to critically assess the news patterns and media performance of the mainstream Indian media. The contribution of the paper will be the application of the propaganda model in the context of Indian media. For this study, we have analyzed the media coverage of two events – India’s ban on Chinese apps and the Pulwama attack. We focus on how Indian Media has helped the Government to establish the propaganda of nationalism during both events, which is explained by Herman and Chomsky in the five filters of news production. We investigate how the anti-China sentiment and the Pulwama attack have been used by the Government to divert attention from their failure of governance, and mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic. The corporate media is playing its part in the machinations of the ruling BJP party. We conclude that the plurality of voices amongst journalists is in decline.
