> India has no independent press

The statement is cynical.

Has the government tried supress journalism the hurts it? Yes

Did the courts side with journalists? Yes, in some cases.

Is the system we have is perfect? No

Can it be improved? Absolutely yes.

There are good journalism being done by many professionals both for Indian news orgs and for international ones.

You can criticise but be hopeful.

I am not hopeful. There are very very few indications out of India that are positive. I wish it weren't so.
