Who owns the media in India?

 

There are several major publishing groups in India, the most prominent

among them being the Times of India Group, the Indian Express Group,

the Hindustan Times Group, The Hindu group, the Anandabazar Patrika

Group, the Eenadu Group, the Malayalam Manorama Group, the

Mathrubhumi group, the Sahara group, the Bhaskar group, and the

Dainik Jagran group.

 

Let us see the ownership of different media agencies.

 

NDTV: A very popular TV news media is funded by Gospels of Charity in

Spain that supports Communism. Recently it has developed a soft

corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only

this channel to be aired in Pakistan. Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-

brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of Communist party of

India. His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters.

 

India Today which used to be the only national weekly which supported

BJP is now bought by NDTV!! Since then the tone has changed

drastically and turned into Hindu bashing.

 

CNN-IBN: This is 100 percent funded by Southern Baptist Church with

its branches in all over the world with HQ in US. The Church annually

allocates $800 million for promotion of its channel. Its Indian head

is Rajdeep Sardesai and his wife Sagarika Ghosh.

 

Times group list:

Times Of India, Mid-Day, Nav-Bharth Times, Stardust , Femina, Vijaya

Times, Vijaya Karnataka, Times now (24- hour news channel) and many

more. Times Group is owned by Bennet & Coleman. 'World Christian

Council' does 80 per cent of the Funding, and an Englishman and an

Italian equally share balance 20 percent. The Italian Robertio Mindo

is a close relative of Sonia Gandhi.

 

Star TV: It is run by an Australian, who is supported by St. Peters

Pontificial Church Melbourne.

 

Hindustan Times: Owned by Birla Group, but hands have changed since

Shobana Bhartiya took over. Presently it is working in Collaboration

with Times Group.

 

The Hindu:

English daily, started over 125 years has been recently taken over by

Joshua Society, Berne, Switzerland. N.Ram's wife is a Swiss national.

 

Indian Express: Divided into two groups.

 

The Indian Express and new Indian Express (southern edition) ACTS

Christian Ministries have major stake in the Indian Express and

latter is still with the Indian counterpart.

 

Eeenadu: Still to date controlled by an Indian named Ramoji Rao.

Ramoji Rao is connected with film industry and owns a huge studio in

Andhra Pradesh.

 

Andhra Jyothi: The Muslim party of Hyderabad known as MIM along with

a Congress Minister has purchased this Telugu daily very recently.

 

The Statesman: It is controlled by Communist Party of India. Kairali

TV: It is controlled by Communist party of India (Marxist)

 

Mathrubhoomi: Leaders of Muslim League and Communist leaders have

major investment.

 

Asian Age and Deccan Chronicle: Is owned by a Saudi Arabian Company

with its chief Editor M.J. Akbar.

 

The ownership explains the control of media in India by foreigners.

The result is obvious.
