Last week an American NGO relised a report which was a major setback for India. Because in this report India is categorized as partly free state and the NGO also lowered India's score in the report from 77 out of 100 in 2018 to 67 in 2020 and further lowering score to 67 in 2021.
This is because of government's hest to control everything, just everything whether it is internet or media. For example you can take example of internet, government shuts it in a particular area wherever it thinks right and no need to tell about media, how government is managing it by advertisement money. Now the government has come up with new guidelines about ott platforms. So no need to be surprised or slamming report, recently we have seen illegal arrest by Indian police on the direction provided by government.
So all these things show what India is progressing or deminising in terms of free state?
Recently I have written an article about free speech in the country, you can notice that how government is suppressing free speech, and after all that if someone says that this report is false then it w will be misleading. Recently we have seen extreme use of NSA law in almost every case which is being discussed to be outdated today. All these things do not improve one country's score.
