Left-leaning: perspectives, critiques and explainers on Indian news

If you follow this tag, you want reporting and opinion that leans progressive — more focus on civil rights, media accountability, public policy and questions about power. Here you’ll find short takes, deeper explainers and sharp critiques that challenge mainstream headlines. Expect pieces that call out sensationalism, dig into policy impacts, and highlight voices often missing from big TV debates.

Why read left-leaning pieces? They help you see alternatives to the dominant narratives on TV and social media. Instead of chasing outrage, these articles often ask: who wins, who loses, what does this mean for everyday people? That makes them useful if you want context, not just hot takes.

What this tag covers

We publish several kinds of posts here: opinion pieces that critique political moves or media behavior, explainers that break down policy and governance, and quick reads that spotlight odd or biased news coverage. You’ll find articles on media ethics, critiques of political figures, assessments of government actions, and practical write-ups about how news affects citizens’ lives.

For example, some posts examine why TV channels push masala news and what they should stop doing. Others question specific leaders’ actions or ask whether watchdogs can still audit large institutions after corporate takeovers. We also include lighter but pointed pieces about how news is framed and what that framing leaves out.

How to use these posts

Read with a thinking hat on. These articles are meant to prompt questions, not hand down dogma. Use them to compare different viewpoints, check facts, and decide what you agree or disagree with. If a piece argues that a channel should stop sensationalising, ask: which examples back that up? If it critiques a policy, look for data, examples, or direct quotes that support the point.

Want to follow specific topics? This tag brings together coverage on media behavior, civil liberties, and political accountability. If you care about government transparency, fair reporting, or social justice, bookmark this page and scan it regularly for new posts.

We keep the language direct and avoid jargon. Each article aims to be short enough to read in one sitting but packed with details that matter. If you want a deeper dive, many posts link to original documents or quote experts and officials so you can verify claims yourself.

Finally, engage. Share what surprised you, challenge an argument, or suggest a topic we missed. Conversations make coverage better — and your feedback helps shape what we publish under this tag.
