Show Notes
The Union government is withholding education funds from Tamil Nadu over its refusal to implement the three-language policy. Is this really about language, or is it about control over states? Vikatan’s website was abruptly blocked days after BJP leaders attacked its cartoon on Modi. With independent media under pressure, is digital censorship the next frontier?
Hosts Dhanya Rajendran, Pooja Prasanna, and Leena Reghunath are joined by TNM’s executive editor Sudipto Mondal and senior journalist K Venkataramanan to break it all down.
All this and more—tune in!
