Clarification: According to the latest data, India ranks at 161 on the World Press Freedom Index 2023.

Don't agree with it, we deserve above 170th rank among 180 countries. This 161th rank is above our expectation and actually it is good seeing the present condition of our media. 😂😂😂

[Kidszone-losy]

there is some mistake abt india, india should be 181/180 country.

[AnkitKumar-ktsy]

Total population of top five countries in this index is less than the population of Uttarpradesh, a state in India. So please don't compare oranges with mango.

[DD-kyxi]

Fake ranking. Ranking shows Taliban occupied afganistan where there is ban on independent journalism is ranked higher than India.
Lol

[vvkul]

Only DD news type format should be allowed. All new channels and its crews turned into RAMBO CIRCUS characters. True news verification/ segregation part missing now a days.

[kumarkumar-bubd]

Really, press in Afghanistan is more free than india,
Really there are lot of news chanel ofline and online, in this country that are bashing whom they want to, still there is no press freedom.

[aniketlad]

I am very happy that we are behind pakistan and afganistan.
It shows how badly the west is trying to put us down.
It means atleast we are doing something good.

[msdhindsa]

Modi has destroyed india in so many ways ...bhakht will be crying after some years

[shaaktheei]

Mind game, on what basis other countries are in good rank than India, false report

[noname_sober]

I feel personally in India that the Indian population is not giving any hid to these index also Indian as general doesn't have a opposition which is strong however I see Congress have hired a good Campaigner and good IT team for social media as NDA especially BJP had already did this with the help of Media coordinator hence these ranking are not taken into consideration in India because of popular media debates

[buntysonawane]

Thanks Godi media. Taking us to new lows everyday. Spineless & shameless.

[fenrir]

Afghanistan being ubove India is enough evidence that there are some major inaccuracies in the index

[theindianpanther]

This is the best example of western hypocrisy….
When reporters criticize India & Indian government the.n suddenly india comes in top 20 in press freedom index.
When indian press praised the policy of Indian government in any particular sector then many international news papers start crying.
We, most of the Indians don’t give importance to this kind of Index
We know, where my country is going on & what my country’s press is doing…!

[deepshikdev]

Godi media ka kruba hai india ka rank itna niche hai🤣🤣🤣🤣

[DkDk-ekwm]

Thumbnail..?
Who were giving this report...?
Westren propaganda..?

[mudavathsanthoshi]

Press bolke media Kuch Bhi dekadete ho....

[Thedivine__]

bs jisme bhi india ki rank bekaar hai new delhi ie acc. Sbh bekaar h

[dobil]

The fact that you can sit in India and say all this proves the point that there is freedom. You will not tell why were they arrested. Nahi arrest hua to freedom nahi. Matlab fake news felao aur bolo mera freedom nahi hai

[zoybean]

I never liked India but I admit it was much better under Singh. Modi turned India into tutti country. Thank you modi, from Pakistan.
