Haneef comments that “the crisis of democracy can be perceived but is as invisible as coronavirus” (2020, para. 28). Much as coronavirus demands a new economic world order” he maintains, “it is time for the economies of love, and not hate, to endure” (2020, para. 28). Kumar similarly calls out the hate spread by “Godi” media but at the same time, in addition to economic development of the country, he calls for what he refers to as economies of love by emphasising time and again that “not just eco-friendly, we must make our cities ishq[love]-friendly as well” (2019, p. 127). He provides thorough scrutiny of several pressing issues, particularly the part played by what he calls “bad journalism” in undermining the democratic values in India. He writes that “Bad journalism never had the kind of credibility that it has today. News channels have worked tirelessly to kill India’s democratic ideals” (2019, p. 10). His concern is with this type of journalism Indian media is doing, that has become a byword for official propaganda, as he writes, “the press as an instrument of official propaganda is now a plain fact of our democratic system” (2019, p. 11).
