Only 7% of India Vaccinated in 7 Months! | Akash Banerjee

Take part in the @OxfamIndia survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA... Share your experiences with vaccination and help with advocacy with the government for ensuring more effective and equitable vaccination to support India's recovery from the pandemic. The 1st wave was unprecedented and no one was ready for it. But we learnt little from it. Now even after a brutal 2nd Wave - the learnings have been precious little. The BEST / MOST RELIABLE method to prevent an even worse 3rd Wave is Vaccination - but despite 7 MONTHS since vaccine production started - we have managed to fully vaccinate only only 7% of India. The DESPITE the fact that India was the global hub for vaccine production. What went wrong - have we got it right now and why we must worry about the rate of vaccination - all in our new episode of the Deshbhakt.

Pegasus Report | Attack on Indian Democracy? | Akash Banerjee

 

Pegasus Report | Attack on Indian Democracy? | Akash Banerjee

17 prestigious media organizations - across the globe - have published details of a stunning spying operation that spans several nations - targeting thousands of individuals. The #Pegasus Report shows how this is an Attack on Indian Democracy (and those around the world) - how the #NSOGroup (a secretive Israeli company) sells high end snooping software to governments with the alleged aim of anti-terror operations .... but shockingly the bulk of people being hacked / snooped are people who have asking tough questions from the Govt at one point or the other. #Journalists, lawyers, opposition leaders.... making it clear that this is perhaps one of the biggest attacks on Democracy itself and this spying (originally meant to fight terror) has become a toy in the hands of wannabe dictators. In this Episode of The Deshbhakt with Akash Banerjee we raise important questions that this revelation forces us to ask.

Explained: Project Pegasus and India's potential targets | NL Cheatsheet

An international collaborative investigative effort has revealed that more than 50,000 people across the world were identified for targeted surveillance using a sophisticated piece of spyware called #Pegasus. Developed by Israeli private company #NSO, Pegasus was reportedly used here in India as well. So, what is Pegasus? How does it work? And who were the potential targets for surveillance in India? Meghnad S tells you the basics of this massive investigation and what it uncovered. With inputs from Anukriti Malik. *** UPDATE: After shooting this video, NSO group issued a statement saying that the list is not a list of potential targets of Pegasus and is not related to NSO. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/...

New IT Rules | End of the road for Independent Online Media? | Akash Banerjee feat. IFF

 

New IT Rules | End of the road for Independent Online Media? | Akash Banerjee feat. IFF

Ironically this episode comes on a day when the offices of @Dainik Bhaskar & @Bharat Samachar are being raided - weeks after they raised serious questions over the covid mismanagement by the Govt. But this is just a trailer - soon there will be no need for 'raids' After exerting control over Print and Television - now it's the turn of Digital. In what are being called rules that are totally unconstitutional - the Govt is trying to bring Digital Media / Social Media / Independent Online Media (like The Deshbhakt) to heel with the New IT Rules, 2021. These new IT Rules are complicated to understand - so at Deshbhakt in association with the @Internet Freedom Foundation breaks these rules down for u - with the specific aim of explaining what it means for you - not only for the online news you consume but also for the social media platforms you are on....is this the end of the road of Independent Online Media and Social Media??? Who will dare show the truth with so much control?

TV news villains & ‘Love Jihad’ in Kashmir | TV Newsance Episode 138

Move on from Bollywood films, pyaar ke dushman are now found on primetime debates in TV news studios. This week, the bogey of #LoveJihad reached #Kashmir. The story of a Sikh woman from Srinagar made major headlines. It was alleged that she was kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to marry a 60-year-old Muslim man. Anchors like #AmishDevgan, #ArnabGoswami & those from #ZeeNews played up this story but didn’t get the basics right. We were told minorities are a threat to the majority in India, and alleged forced #conversions to #Islam were the flavour of the week. But what is the true story of #ManmeetKaur and #ShahidBhat, other Sikh women in #Srinagar whose names cropped up this week? What role did #ManjinderSinghSirsa play? Watch.
