Whose voices are amplified? And whose voices are deliberately silenced? In this, we break down: The shrinking space for dissent in Indian media How marginalised voices are erased from the national narrative Arfa’s sharp critique of newsrooms, propaganda, and political pressure Why citizens must reclaim their media and demand accountability This session from Hyderabad is not just a talk — it’s a reminder of what journalism should stand for.
