Personally I do feel that there is a huge and urgent need for something like this to support and share the stories of the Indian subcontinent and its diaspora in the US and elsewhere. So, in one respect I wish the founder all the success. However, a quick glance unfortunately leads me to believe that it is going to tow the same blatantly anti-Indian bias that most, if not all, of the Western media such as NYTimes, WaPo, Economist and others possess. For example, while the little blurb in the inkmango newsletter on Pulwama and subsequent events (https://mailchi.mp/inkmango/our-weekly-roundup-pulwama-crisi...) seems perfectly neutral and acceptable, I was rather disheartened when I saw that while CNBC and Economist were linked by their brands, "Arundhati Roy", and her vitriolic anti-Indian article was referred to by name in the link to HuffPo. While the editor is free to take whatever approach they want to take, they will need to decide who the target audience is and whose voice does the Juggernaut wants to be. |
