India
See also: Media bias in IndiaThere have been claims that the history of the Islamic invasion and its atrocities on India is being systematically whitewashed and censored in Indian school-books and in other media (e.g. Shourie 1998).
Many media stations in India provided vast coverage of the Gujarat Riots in 2002 in which a large number of Muslims were murdered but have often failed to report on the persecution of Hindus in Muslim-dominated Jammu & Kashmir. There are also denials of the fact that Indians in general and Hindus in particular are being ethnically cleansed in Kashmir. With regard to the 2002 Gujarat violence, some commentators have pointed out a disregard for factual reporting on the part of what they term "left-liberal" newspapers.
Hindustan Times is considerably biased towards Indian National Congress(INC) with some of its editors going on to join the Congress (Shobhana Bhartia ). NDTV is also biased towards INC as has been proven with its connections to Cabinet ministers and its influence in Cabinet forming (Radia tapes controversy ).
