Reflecting on Professor Babones’ views on Indian Democracy

With Australian Associate Professor Salvatore Babones vouching for India’s democracy, India’s democratic standing in the world has been consolidated further. He categorically asserted his condemnation of biased western media for selectively criticizing India’s democracy despite India’s resilience to democratic values in the face of a tumultuous geopolitical scenario. Indian diplomats seconded the professor’s point of view of biased media coverage tarnishing India’s image. Former ambassador Kanwal Sibal came out with startling revelations about the nexus between certain non-governmental organizations and the United States’ government that have dampened Indian Prime Minister Modi’s work and vision for India. Alluding to the unscrupulous ties between China and the west, the Australian professor succinctly brought to the fore, the global dynamics at work to rob India of its most precious jewel of democratic values and principles. The role of Indian intellectuals in spearheading a vicious campaign aimed at spreading misleading narratives of India around the world was noted as well. It then becomes utmost important for readers to doublecheck the content they consume and be wary of the plethora of misinformation that surrounds them.
