First of all, political parties do all kind of politics to win elections and it is somewhat acceptable. This is not just in India but everywhere in a democratic country this happen regularly but problem is the role of media in the society. We all have witnessed the kind of hate in the society that was targeted on everyone's mind from all major news outlet. It already brought India few decades behind the rest of the world in terms of common mentality of the society. Also, we should be thankful that there was no large scale riot. Whole India went to the edge of the cliff but somehow managed to not fall down because of journalists like Ravish Kumar, Purna Prasun Abjpai, Abhishar Sharma, etc.
And NDTV which stood against everyone else and continued their reporting clean and unbiased. They tried their best to keep society together.
Prannoy Roy who stood behind the scenes also deserves all the respect.

It's a must watch newsroom drama. Showcase the reality and struggles of journalism. Ravish Kumar in this Documentary is exceptional.
The first 30-40 minutes of the film move very fast. The editing is quick, scenes and locations transition fast. While We Watched gives the feel of a newsroom where different people, with different ideologies and beliefs, work together. Social media will have us believe that everything is black and white, but in the real world, adjustments and compromises have to be made. The film gets into the heart of that.
'While We Watched' is a vivid portrait of a man i.e. Ravish Kumar who reminds us that by knowing you are doing the right thing is its own reward.

Democracy is not easy to maintain. Taken for granted, unscrupulous beings find ways to exploit the naive and harrass those who speak the truth.
Strangely, it's not yet made available in ailing democracies of the world.
Also, a good reminder that failing democracies can't tolerate truth.
As journalists continue getting threats and harassment by goons hured by those in power, India has aged back continuously for a decade.
This is just summarising what happens with honest beings and the price one has to pay remaining honest. How ironic, people don't learn from mistakes. It takes a painful reminder.
