The parallel can be seen in a report to The Caravan about the murder of the journalist, Rajdeo Ranjan (Dubey, 2016). In another story for The Caravan about Anjana Om Kashyap by Saxena. He writes that journalists reporting honestly on current affairs have found themselves out of work and sometimes dead on the streets, however, Kashyap “enjoys extraordinary popularity both on the streets and in the highest offices” (Saxena, 2019, p. 37). It is perhaps this desire to survive in the “new India” that has turned many Indian media outlets into godi media, or what Shukla calls “bhakti” [devotional] media, akin to the one Stevens follows in watching the fall of his master with the rise of the new one (2018, para. 10). Godi, or lapdog media, maintains Ranjan, “is a condition where the news media display a lack of independent power and act as a trained pooch” (2019, para. 02).
