india is often called the world's largest democracy. in this year's election, an estimated 960 million voters are taking part. and polls predict another win for narendra modi's hindu nationalist bjp and its allies. since mr modi came to power in 2014, india has fallen down the world press freedom index to 159 out of the 180 countries ranked. journalists critical of central and state governments face physical threats, online harassment and legal charges. for example, last year, the homes and offices of senior staff at the newsclick website were raided. the editor in chief remains in custody, accused of publishing chinese propaganda. and some argue that what's happened to press freedom in india is part of a global trend. the job of a journalist is to present the facts, to present the news. but if you're presented the facts that you don't like, often, you go after the messenger. and that's exactly what we're seeing with the rise of populism, with the rise of nationalism, is a commensurate decline in the press freedom environment worldwide.
