Watching "While We Watched", a documentary on the difficult life of journalist Ravish Kumar after the rise of Hindutva in India.

He belongs to my home district East Champaran, Bihar -- and was one of my role models since high school.

I salute his courage and wonder about the future of press freedom in India, which is finding its low on a daily basis.

It's an opener and a must-watch for everyone who wants to know the real India.

"While We Watched" Documentary Spotlights Journalist Ravish Kumar's Fight for Truth in Modi's India

As world leaders from the United States to France welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we look at press freedom in India under the leader of the Hindu nationalist party BJP. One of India's last bastions of free media, NDTV, has been taken over by Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, believed to have close ties to Modi. NDTV's former executive editor and longtime anchor Ravish Kumar, one of India's most prominent TV journalists who has reported critically on Modi's Hindu nationalist policies, is the subject of Vinay Shukla's film _While We Watched_, which is being released this week in theaters in the United States. We speak to Kumar and Shukla about the "anti-opposition, anti-minorities, anti-Muslim" state of media in India, where dissent is suppressed and pro-Modi nationalism is the _de facto_ rule. "No sober society can afford to have a kind of rogue media, which is so weaponized," says Kumar.

I saw #WhileWeWatched last night and really, really recommend it. It’s an excellent documentary about #RavishKumar, the fearless, amazing #NDTV news presenter informing viewers of the lies they are being relentlessly told in #Modi’s #India around the 2019 election. The #nationalism and #Propanda on other channels is frightening, not least because identical to rhetoric elsewhere. Kumar resigned in 2022 and now does a #YoutubeChannel, living more or less in hiding.

‘Resistance is possible’: Ravish Kumar, the broadcaster risking his life to tell the truth about India​ today​

The journalist’s fearless reporting on India under Narendra Modi cost him his job and freedom. Now broadcasting to millions on YouTube, he is the subject of a new documentary

This new documentary on Indian journalist Ravish Kumar, forced out of the profession for truth-telling, looks great. Can't wait for it to come to San Francisco, or to streaming:
