Despite these significant developments, much of India's mainstream media, often perceived as favoring the Modi government, has refrained from covering these issues extensively. The silence could be attributed to a concerted effort to protect the reputations of these individuals and prevent any political fallout for the ruling bharatiya janata party (BJP). By underreporting or dismissing such global developments, the media shields the Modi administration from domestic scrutiny, ensuring that these allegations do not impact its carefully curated image of robust governance and international respectability. This media strategy, however, undermines the public's right to unbiased information and transparency, key pillars of a functioning democracy.
