Indian Media will NEVER show you this!
The video highlights three major stories allegedly ignored by Indian mainstream media: India's GDP ranking dropping from 4th to 6th largest economy, India's press freedom ranking falling to 157th out of 180 countries, and India's democracy index ranking dropping five places to 115th with the country labeled an 'electoral autocracy.'
Summary
The speaker opens by criticizing Indian news channels for celebrating India becoming the 4th largest economy by surpassing Japan, while now staying silent about India's ranking having slipped back to 6th largest. The speaker attributes this decline to the rapidly depreciating Indian rupee and record-high foreign investor outflows from India, sarcastically comparing the falling rupee's value to the falling credibility of the Delhi government.
The second story concerns India's Press Freedom Index ranking, which has worsened from 151st to 157th out of 180 countries in the current year. The speaker highlights that India's press freedom ranking is now lower than all its neighboring countries, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka — framing this as an embarrassing indicator of media suppression.
The third story covers India's position in the V-Dem (Varieties of Democracy) Democracy Index, where India has dropped five more places and now ranks 115th out of 179 countries. The speaker notes that this same index has classified India as an 'electoral autocracy.' The video ends with a call to share the content, implying that these stories are deliberately suppressed by mainstream Indian media.

Action vs Reaction of PM Modi
