Why Indians are turning to Youtube: There is no media landscape anywhere like India’s – almost 400 television news channels, broadcasting in 20 languages. Indians are also YouTube’s biggest audience – and its fastest-growing – and the platform has become a vital source of news for them.
Well-known Indian journalists have abandoned prime-time TV slots in favour of Youtube. They have more freedom online to report on politics and social issues – at least for now.
The spectre of censorship is growing, under a government that clamps down on news coverage it doesn’t like.
The Listening Post’s Meenakshi Ravi reports on India’s YouTube boom and how – despite the misinformation – it has become a primary source of news.

What is Algezara intention in this 🤔
One of my favorites YouTuber who teach me a lot
These YouTubers are gems who play a crucial role in delivering unbiased news to the people of India, especially when the majority of national media outlets seem to prioritize serving as mouthpieces for the Modi-led government. I have immense respect for these individuals as they provide news backed by substantial evidence and facts. Now, Al-Jazeera, it is time for you to adopt an unbiased approach as well. Often, your coverage tends to spread highly biased news under the guise of politics and religion. We are aware of your conspiracies against Nas Daily. I urge you to take these YouTubers as your role models and sincerely fulfill your duties.
The credit goes to ravish kumar the journalist of ndtv who requested Indian citizen “stop watching the modi media news” big thanks to sir ravish kumar
Hats off to those YouTubers who show us the true news
We want our india to be developed we shouldn’t be called as poor country this will happen only when we are united and when we work together not by indulging in such negativity 😊
Definitely,it’s a time for free media. YouTuber providing authentic news to the public.Appreciated!

For Dhruv bhai
Dhruv, Raveesh, Abhisar, Ajit Anjum,Punta prasad,Sakshi Joshi,Manisha from newlsundry, Arfa Khanum are a few independent content provider who are still providing the best level quality content…
These all YouTubers is work under modi policy they have no freedom
Very much need for these real journalists YouTubers..Main stream media are slaves and puppets of BJP dictatorship.
Need burnol for some people 😅…
International beizzati…😢
Dhruv Rathi is the most biased anti establishment and sometimes anti India “journalist” you can find out there. Good job. You conveniently ignored other big names like Nitish Rajput who are 1000x better than this guy and are unbiased
Elvish chapri button
Dhruv Rathi is the last person from whom you want to check facts with, specially for Kerala story movie. Nitish rajput did an awesome and unbiased job of unraveling the truth, which included many court judgements and NIA chargesheets
Yes his is more unbiased than dhruv or Akash
Being a Pakistani, I watch his content just because of his neutral opinions & the way he explains each topic is just amazing ❤
German Shepherd 🤣🤣
Dhruv Rathi has more subscribers than Al Jazeera also
Lol😂
These youtubers are highly educated as compared to political leaders.
Truth
Dhruv rathee ❤ lot’s of love from 🇬🇧

Muslim supported channel talking about democracy 😂😂
Quttar media talking about democracy 🤣🤣
Bruh German shepherd, your followers gave rape and death threat to karolina who just exposed ua double standards now playing victim cards in al Jazeera that itself a monarchy form of govt not democracy.🤡💩

Dhurve rathee subscribers more than Al Jazeera news 🤣🤣🤣
Soch by Mangal Mohak is actually better than Dhruv Rathee
Till now brother Dhruv Rathee is the best in class ❤ from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
You people supported kashmiri Hindu genocide, you supported terrorist like afjal guru and burhan in the name of human rights and you german shepherd expect Indian patriotic people to treat you well…get lost🤡🤡🤡💩
Bcoz here 90% Addicted to mobile’s..& UNEMPLOYMENT

Nikaaaaalll beeee godi ki paaaaad soonghne waala andhbhakt , democracy ka meaning bsdk tereko kaha pata ja jake godi ka guh kha
This is the result of corrupted mainstream media in India. We need more independent youtubers like Dhrub Rathee..
Bhai ka Bhokal hai kya BAAT hai
Mainstream media has got corrupted in the last 10 years. People in India know the reason.
Dhruv Rathee is pain in the head of Indians….he never speak againts congress and leftist…he is there to just bash Modi ji whether he does right or good…Dhruv rathee is biggest balck spot on Journalism cuz he is there only to lick boots of leftist
dhruv,Sare Indian ko garv hona chahiye 🎉
بہتریں یوٹیوبر۔❤
He is a competent and an excellent story teller!
This kind of journalism not valid in pakistan and china😂😂
I think they are all young and has lot to learn, Like the difference between logical journalism vs emotional fiction. 🧘🏽♂️
Mainstream media control is common now…Pakistan news channel been almost hacked and hijacked by the ruling government and establishment…we are fed up and almost stopped watching mainstream tv channels…Every Pakistani using social media sources for their interested news etc…Unfortunately some people are using social media also as propaganda tool but to counter that you must watch authentic people and sources
The govt has lately realised that mainstream media has lost their credibility and they have now set sight on propagating some of the channels with high number of suscribers, they want to saffronize youtube as well. Their minister Piyush Goyal recently scheduled a meeting for the same purpose.
Its Godi media 2.0 in making.
India should learn something from Arabian countries,
In India minorities is not safe
Minoritiy rights in arabian countries..🤣🤣🤣
According to Islamic law you are worse then the animals…
Qur’an 7.179
