In this episode of TV Newsance, Manisha unpacks the Gen-Z protests in Nepal that shook the country’s political system and even led to the fall of their Prime Minister. But what’s equally telling is how Indian TV news channels are framing (or rather, misframing) this entire movement. Expect the usual mix – half-truths, conspiracy theories, foreign plot, and the eternal hunt for “Hindu Rashtra” in every story.
For sharper insights, we’ll also be joined by Smita Sharma, an award-winning independent journalist who has been closely following the Nepal protests. She’ll help us understand what’s really happening, beyond the noise of Indian primetime.
