International Media and Racism

The dawn of the next day brought a stark divide in global perspectives.

While the Indian press hailed Rohan as a visionary leader and celebrated the successful passage of the State Reorganization Bill, international newspapers painted a far grimmer picture.

Headlines from prominent publications across the globe read like indictments:

"India's Democracy Under Siege: A New Era of Authoritarianism" (The New York Times)

"Rohan's Iron Fist: The Death of Dissent in the World's Largest Democracy" (The Guardian)

"Political Purge or Progress? The Cost of Rohan's Vision for India" (Le Monde)

"India's Government Crosses the Line: Opposition Silenced" (BBC World).

The framing was clear, Rohan's decisive actions were seen not as reforms but as a descent into authoritarianism.

The nuance of India's internal challenges, the riots, and the misinformation campaigns were overshadowed by accusations of political repression.
