  1. Kudos to ABC for showcasing this. Ravish Kumar is the most genuine, down to earth, humble, people centric journalist in India. He is vulnerable, candid and speaks to his audience from the heart. He goes the extra mile for The People, he is a true upholder of Democracy.

  2. Magsaysay award winner journalists. Only light among total darkness in india.

  3. Ravish kumar is a GEM in indian media industry, as we in india is feeling a scarcity of real Media journalism.. In india there are Pimps calling themselves journalist these days..

  4. Only ravish Kumar hero

  8. Thanks for covering abd giving space to this. We Indians are reeling under peak hatred & fake news

  9. I look upto to ravish kumar for truth.

  10. Love you ravish❤❤❤❤❤

  11. 4:30 Govt "not doing enough" is an understatement. The secretary in information and broadcasting ministry yells expletives to news editors, gets them fired and has journalists arrested using draconian anti-terrorism and national security laws for financial seizure and jail without court hearings. The ruling party IT cell sends out whatsapp messages daily on what propaganda agenda to run.

  12. Why run abroad please tell your interviewer about how many newspapers are in India also how many tv stations are in India .
    You have heard of Julian Assange ? Do you know how many
    Millionaires own newspapers or media inUK ? I appreciate your gripe against india but please also fight for journalists in Egypt and Pakistan Iran ,Saudi Arabia where khoshigi was killed in Turkey.

  13. Journalists are very unpopular because they keep spreading balderdash to get viewers and ad money.
    Stop lying and promoting hatred and there wont be a problem for journalists.

  14. indian media incessantly demonize the west so much so that they burned 400 churches in the Manipur state of India in the past two months and media was broadcasting extra marital affair of a woman after shutting down internet in the entire state for past 2 months just to cover up the Christian genocide in Manipur, Hitler would be proud of them, btw they celebrate Hitler and the killer of Gandhi as well some do it in open some still in closet but media is encouraging them to do it in open.

  15. This video need to blow up. This documentry needs international attention given the fact the violence that is taking place in Manipur, India.

  16. Media in the US is unreliable and sometimes is just lying outright. When 1 party owns the media, it will never be news, just propaganda

  17. Thank you for showing truth 🙏 happening in India

  18. The one in one only ravish kumar sir i am from Indian

  19. Excellent 👌👌 proud of you ravish sir🙏❤️🙏
