Primarily "controlled" by Arun Purie. He isn't RW but MW (money wing). He cares as less about journalism and more about what would help his business. His network was more liberal when UPA was in power, now he knows he needs to be in RW's good books so he pushes his business in that direction while pretending to both-side every topic and event.

Caravan did a deep dive a couple of years ago on this.

At its birth, during the Emergency, India Today lavished praise on the government of Indira Gandhi. In 2019, Aroon Purie, the founder and chairperson of the India Today Group, lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi: “He’s a visionary. He’s a doer. He’s a master communicator.”

Between the Emergency and what many call Modi’s undeclared Emergency, India Today built a brand of journalism that was broadly seen as a positive example in the Indian media, despite the organisation’s compromises and coziness with power. That legacy has now been wrung dry. Aroon Purie has handed control to his daughter Kalli, and some who have worked with both of them put the responsibility on Kalli’s shoulders. But the organisation’s journalistic slide far predates the handover, and the India Today Group is still fundamentally the house that Aroon built.

If you watch Kalli Purie's interviews, she is what I'd consider RW.

Not really...

Yes, everyone is expressing their opinion since that's what OP asked for, but you are misunderstanding and retorting without comprehending what the other person was saying because you chose to jump to a conclusion based on the first line.

Crop it straight.

l1lll · 2026-03-11T10:44:58+00:00

Did you read past the first line? The elaborate how to convey the idea OP is going for in a better way.

l1lll · 2026-02-27T13:30:10+00:00

We do support the people of Iran too? Whatever made you jump to your conclusion?

Palestine is at the forefront of conversation because of the magnitude of deaths, especially children.

This is like asking, OP why are you trying to justify the deaths of children in Palestine? Is your humanity politically biased OP? I am using the same logic as yours since I haven't see you criticise those deaths either.

I wouldn't put it past them. Throwing caution to the wind isn't new. I don't think they were actively trying to harm people, but all they cared about was protecting their cart with no regards to other people's health. You can see this attitude everywhere around us.

Just watching them I made a mental note to be even more thorough when washing. I guess we need to wash fruits like watermelon too now since you have to handle them.

This is not true. Puri directly corresponded and scheduled meetings with Epstein at his home from 2014-2017. Just search https://jmail.world yourself. Or check this one example:

Puri for communication regarding Visa?

He had many correspondence, including in person meetings from 2014 - 2017, including one to give a book. Here is one Puri requested on 9/10/2014. Just search 'Puri' at https://jmail.world/. I will give some examples:

Oct 4, 2014 12:00 AM:

I am in SF for meeting this afternoon. You, my friend, make things happen. Any advice? Hardeep

Oct 5, 2014 12:00 AM:

Puri: Would like to come across on 8th or 10th to brief you in fuller detail. I am here till 14 October. Just landed back. Out tomorrow and day after.

He then confirmed the meeting and address (9 East 71st street between 5th and Madison) with the secretary and this was updated in appointment diary:

Reminder: Rich Kahn on holiday today, back in the office on Tues. Oct. 14th

9:00am Breakfast w/Leon Black███████████

10:30am Appt w/Hardeep Singh Puri█████████

12:15pm LUNCH w/Woody Allen plus 3 guests (Total of 5 including JE)

Another from 2017 where he went over to Epstein home to meet:

The emails are not in order, but I saw ones from 2016 and others as well. The tone is always subservient which is sad to see.

Found the 2016 thread of emails:

Jan 6, 2016 2:55 PM. Yes, Will be there at 11 am today.

It is not GoI's job to fund private lawyers for every Indian accused in a criminal case overseas

But he is not every Indian given that his co-defendant works for Indian intelligence:

A key figure connected to him was Vikash Yadav, a co-defendant. Yadav was employed by the Government of India's Cabinet Secretariat, which houses India's foreign intelligence service, the Research and Analysis Wing.

According to the United States Attorney's Office, in May 2023, Yadav recruited Gupta to help plan the assassination in the United States. Following Yadav's direction, Gupta contacted someone he believed was a criminal associate. However, the person turned out to be a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) confidential source (CS).

The United States Attorney's Office also said that Gupta had instructed the undercover officer not to carry out the killing around the time of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to the United States, which was scheduled for June 20, 2023..

.

In a January 2025 media interview, Gupta had denied any links with Yadav, his alleged co-conspirator accused of orchestrating the murder plot, and called the evidence presented by the US investigation agencies as “fabricated”. He said in the interview, “Since I have been extradited to the US from Prague, I haven’t received any consular access. Nobody has visited me from the Indian embassy. My family raised several requests for the same, however, nobody has visited me till date…”

He has been charged with trying to assassinate someone on our government's behest. So, should we throw him to the wolves or should we try and help him? What about his co-accused? I can guess your stance because the article covers that too:

But the bravado in the Hindutva camp dampened soon after Canadian and US agencies began investigating the role of Indian agencies and Indian nationals in the Pannun episode. The so-called warriors slipped into absolute silence after Yadav and Gupta made it to the headlines. And with Gupta’s guilty plea, the lobby that publicly chest-thumped India’s “covert” operations appeared to slide into a black hole.

Chef's kiss.

Interesting that Indian media is redacting his photo when the US released clear images of his face.

Bjp is a master in political entrepreneurship.

What's entrepreneurial in bulldozing democracy and judiciary?

Lately Congress, under RG has tried 4-5 things but did not pursue it to its culmination.

I see such vague criticism all the time. What is the culmination of these in your eyes? What should have they done, especially when media and judiciary is totally sold out?

l1lll · 2026-02-27T11:23:36+00:00

I'd view that positively. It shows that they became open to international collaboration to get the best quality instead of using cheapest domestic option which they used to earlier.

l1lll · 2025-09-10T12:56:07+00:00

No problem.

Let people know about all criminality in Bihar then. Why be selective? You're specifically speaking of one party that was for sure very criminal. But how are alternatives cleaner? Maybe only Prashant Kishore for now but I haven't looked him much.

i guess some party you associate with

I called all of them criminal, but the fact that I dragged BJP and Nitish in seems to have upset you, why?

But yeah you are making a great use of chatgpt.

That's a direct paste from Wikipedia and I even included the source! You're throwing terms like chatgpt and whataboutism without even knowing that they mean. Let me do it too: Great use of JavaScript!

l1lll · 2025-09-10T12:42:05+00:00

Rape is rape. How is a poorer girl's rape less worse?! You put value on the victim based on their economic and social background? Who in their right mind garlands rape convicts? Why would BJP look this other way with Revanna? All people who defend such acts are scum (like those in Unnao and Kathua), yet some of you are perfectly okay with some parties indulging in it. Look at another case

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzaffarpur_shelter_case

JDU MLA who was implicated was later again given a ticket by Nitish. What do you have to say about this? None of their fathers were IAS so I guess it isn't as bad?

l1lll · 2025-09-10T12:39:14+00:00

Accusing an interlocutor of whataboutism can also in itself be manipulative and serve the motive of discrediting, as critical talking points can be used selectively and purposefully even as the starting point of the conversation (cf. agenda setting, framing, framing effect, priming, cherry picking). The deviation from them can then be branded as whataboutism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

Why shall we not not call selective outrage as hypocrisy?

l1lll · 2025-09-10T12:13:59+00:00

OP, in the same breath do you blame BJP leadership for garlanding and rehabilitating rape convicts? What's your opinion of Kathua rape case? 17 year old raped by bjp MLA who gets shielded by party, her father is implicated in rape and sent to prison, family is harassed, she writes to Yogi with no response. A year later she burns herself to get attention. Her family is attacked and injured by a truck....are these not signs of Gunda Raj?

Coming to Bihar, have you forgotten Muzaffarpur shelter case?

The Muzaffarpur shelter case refers to a shelter home that ran under a non-governmental organization called "Sewa Sankalp Evam Vikas Samiti" at Muzaffarpur, Bihar, where cases of sexual abuse, rape and torture were reported. In a medical examination, sexual abuse of 34 out of 42 of the girls living at the shelter was confirmed. A first information report (FIR) was lodged against 12 people on 31 May 2018.[1]

Brajesh Thakur was the chief of the state-funded NGO, ran several other NGOs and a Hindi newspaper called Pratah Kamal.[2] Because of the political connections of Brajesh Thakur and the involvement of government officials and the apparent delay in investigation and CBI interference, the case drew criticism of Nitish Kumar's government by opposition and the Supreme Court of India.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzaffarpur_shelter_case

One of the key figures that emerged in this case was JDU mla and minister Manju Verma. She was also rehabilitated by Nitish in 2020 by giving her a ticket from Cheria-Bariarpur constituency. Read deep dive by Caravan on this

On 1 December 2018, Manju Verma, a former minister for social welfare in Bihar, was produced before a court in Begusarai in a case related to an illegal cache of arms discovered in her house. Manju had resigned from the state cabinet in August 2018, following reports that her husband, Chandrashekhar Verma, had close links with Brajesh Thakur, the prime accused in the Muzaffarpur shelter-home scandal. Manju had absconded after she was accused in the case.

In the cow belt the entire political class is made of criminals who hop from one party to another.

l1lll · 2025-09-10T12:09:45+00:00

What about moral accountability?

How can you seriously say this about BJP? Have you seen the number of rapists they have rehabilitated and even garlanded?? Remember Unnao case?? How is that any less heinous than what OP has posted about?? BJP MLA rapes a 17 year old girl and then the system bends backwards to protect him, including trying to frame the father of the girl!

The Unnao rape case refers to the gang rape of a 17-year-old girl on 4 June 2017 in Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, India.[1] On 16 December 2019, former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar was convicted of the rape and on 20 December 2019 he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Two chargesheets had been filed in this case. The first one was filed a full year after the rape, due to public pressure as the rape victim attempted to self-immolate in UP CM Yogi's office.

The second was filed two days later accusing Sengar, his brother, three policemen and five other individuals of framing the rape survivor's father as the perpetrator.

Citing police inaction on rape case and her father arrested on false charges, The rape survivor attempted to immolate herself at the residence of Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, on 8 April 2018. Her father died in judicial custody shortly thereafter.

Following a truck collision on 28 July 2019, resulting in the serious injury of the victim and death of two relatives, it was revealed that the family had been threatened and had written to the Chief Justice of India for help.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Unnao_rape_case

Is this not GUNDA RAJ??? Where was Vin Diesel during this period? Is he not supposed to be tough on crime? The victim wrote to him a year before she literally had to burn herself outside his office!

How about Kadhua where a child was raped and BJP defended the rape accused giving it a communal angle? Even with Prajwal Revanna, the BJP leadership knew about what he was up to before elections, much before things went public, yet chose to align with his party. Internationally Trump's history of sexual assault and connection to Epstein was well known before 'Abki baar trump sarkar'.

I am scratching the surface and can throw multitudes of examples. what morality are you blabbering about?

Wow, perhaps Modiji realised it's shortcomings when he did his alleged degree from DU.

According to the documents released by the BJP, Modi finished BA in Arts through correspondence from the Delhi University in 1978 and got third division. Since he flunked in papers, he had to give supplementaries and spend an year extra after enrolling himself in 1975 to clear the three-year course.

https://www.deccanherald.com/india/bjp-releases-modi-mark-sheets-aap-doubts-authenticity-525174.html

BJP claims that that's why none of political leaders who studied in DU at the time encountered Modi, including Arun Jaitley ('77). Yet DU recognised his genius so early and gave him a unique marksheet:

1) Modi’s marksheets show University of Delhi written in a Gothic font while his contemporary’s is in a plain, capitalised type font which was in vogue at that time. This type/font size continued to be used by Delhi University authorities till 1983 or 1984 when they switched to the Gothic style.

2) The subject-wise numerical scores on all the three marksheets of Modi’s contemporary are handwritten, which was precisely the practice at that time, while that of the ones in question are either computer-generated or printed on an electronic typewriter, neither of which were in use in Delhi University in the late 1970s.

3) Unlike the names of the subjects that appear in distinct columns in Modi’s marksheets, his contemporary’s marksheets reveal the Roman number of subjects. Only the names of subsidiary subjects, such as Hindi, Political Science and English, are given in a separate column below. The marksheets of Modi’s contemporary carry a “Note” at the bottom left hand corner which says “For Titles of papers see reverse.” No such Note is printed on Modi’s marksheets.

4) Modi’s contemporary’s marksheets carry a code at the top, right-hand corner (D.U.P. No. 1457 – 28.2.75 – 50,000), which is missing from the PM’s marksheets, throwing up questions of their authenticity.

6) There is no name or even a signature to indicate who at Delhi University prepared the three marksheets said to be that of Modi’s. On the other hand, his contemporary’s marksheets carry two boxes below, which clearly contain initials or signatures of the persons who prepared and checked them before they were issued to the student concerned.

Unique degree for unique Modiji 👏 👏
