    Must watched everyone!

    Ravish Kumar is my favourite Journalist. Watch their documentary is great time in my life for me...

    This documentary motivate any person who want to do right thing but situations are not good. How Ravish Kumar handling these hard situation as a brave man.. inspiring everyone.

    Ravish kumar is icon of indian youth who love journalism. They read him, watch him, and get inspired for doing great work. Their work in Indian Hindi Journalism is milestone for upcoming years.

    Ravish Kumar is voice of unemployed youths, farmers, daily workers, women and childrens , contractual workers, even though who working in organised sector but unable to present their view.

    In future when modern history of journalism wrote Ravish Kumar shine like sun. Watch this and think why people love him ?

    My personal experience with Ravish Kumar.

    I am watching him from the age of 12 and I am 25 yrs old right now . He is the one who made me a citizen of the democratic country instead of just an Indian. I have nothing but love admiration and respect for this man. It is sad and sickening to see how the same people, who praised him before 2014, who praised him for the work and questions he asked, but suddenly as soon as they came into power and he started questioning them instead (which is a journalist's job) , he suddenly becomes anti india and baised according to them and a systematic harassment and hate campaign was launched against him calling him traitor Pakistani and what not. Fortunately some people's morale and love of their work specially public service work like journalism is unshakeable and unconditional and he is one of those rare ones who truly showcased that. As an indian, I am proud to have someone like him in our media along with many other but at the same time when I see what he and other good journalists goes through everyday I sometimes feel that we Indians really don't deserve people like them all we deserve is a shouting clowns like Arnab goswami.

    An eye opener

    This is an eye opener on the current state of Indian news channels in 2022. India is constantly declining on Press freedom index and is currently on 142 place out of 180 countries. This is a matter of shame for largest democracy of the world.

    There has been sharp decline in the credibility of the news channels since 2014.

    Once media used to report and debate on the real issues faced by the citizen. Now, all toxic debates on religion are done to distract the viewers and polarize them.

    The media is now not making it's viewers well informed, but well intolerant.

    Ravish Kumar is the only news person left in the mainstream media who is still raising the relevant topics in his prime time. This documentary is all about the right kind of journalism he is doing, and the challenges created by the government to destroy the last ray of hope of Indian journalism.

    A Must Watch for all and introspect.

    A must watch for all

    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.
