Thanks for your question. Curiosity is first step towards knowledge. I wish I was eloquent enough to put decades of history in few words. Best I can do is point you towards this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57313237-sanghi-who-neve.... Note, anything even remotely exposing the issue will be immediately tagged as nationalist, BJP, RSS, Modi etc. The book only is about personal experience of one media person, and doesnt dig deeper into what brought media into this state. It can be starting point and you can follow the references further.

Wow, great example. /s

So is Book that you linked written by the same Rahul Roushan who is the CEO of OpIndia, a right-wing news portal that has been found publishing fake & Islamophobic news on multiple occasions?[1]

The other editor of OpIndia is Nupur J Sharma, who was also the BJP national spokesperson in 2020 and her derogatory remarks against Prophet on TV sparked outrage in India as well as the Arab world. [2] [3]

The Nupur Sharma who works for OpIndia is not the person who used to speak for the BJP - two different people.
