On India Today, China military scholar Yun Sun is in conversation with Rahul Kanwal discussing China's point of view on the current standoff.

She says the argument that 'India is not the India of 1962 is not a meaningful argument'. The world has changed. #NLprimetime Image
She urges for talks and both nations coming together instead of arguments on whose military is stronger.

On ABP News, lots of dramatic music, tonnes of "representative images" and a very poetic report on how Indian Navy is getting ready to defeat the Dragon on the sea. Image
ABP is explaining why TikTok is so popular in India and why China "bhannaya hua hai" (angry af).

Meanwhile, the graphics showed this... πŸ˜…

Some weird shit is going down on @aajtak today. It first said AYUSH Ministry has prohibited ads for Coronil, the medicine launched by Patanjali.

10 seconds later, a wild ad appears for Coronil. ImageImageImage
Anjana Om Kashyap is now interviewing Baba Ramdev about Coronil.

Segment sponsor?

Patanjali of course!

#NLprimetime Image
Here is ABP News also showing the entire segment of Coronil launch, which is as good as a promotion.

Earlier today, guess which company was showing ads for a different segment?

Patanjali of course!

Starting #NLprimetime today. Hoping we get some sombre news reporting on the #IndoChinaFaceoff. Exactly a week ago, TV news anchors were telling us how we have won the war against China. ImageImageImage
Aaj Tak reporting on the faceoff between the two armies. Talks of 1975 when four Assam Rifles jawans were killed by the Chinese.
TV9 Bharatvarsh is still on Pakistan, Imran Khan and Bushara Bibi. Nuts. Image

Republic TV is doing a debate on Rahul Gandhi's "Psy-Ops" and how it has failed. Anchor says, "Social Media is not a place to play politics on such issues!!"

This debate is not about China or the incursion, mind you. It's about Rahul Gandhi.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Image
Anchor says Congress is paying global left-leaning media houses for this "Psy-Ops".

Foreign Affairs Expert gives an Expert opinion saying Rahul Gandhi thinks foreign affairs is a toy.

(Amaze. Brain melting.)

On India TV, a macabre report on crowded cemeteries in New Delhi. Punjabi Bagh cemetery, according to the channel, has had 609 corona cremations. People complain of a waiting line. Image
On Times Now, Saprpanch Ajay Pandita's father says he trusts the Army more than the administration. He asks not to politicise the issue as the channel runs the hashtag, #CongressCleanchitsIslamist. #NLprimetime Image
TV9 Bharatvarsh playing a video that supposedly shows the Chinese Army cracking down on Tibetans.

The video seems a bit suspect. Nevertheless, the focus is on "kroor [cruel] Cheen". The channel also calls the Chinese Army "chamgaadar khor". Which means, umm, bat-eating Army? Image

In the current face-off, the Chinese appear to have intruded into the disputed area⁠ β€” in some instances right up to their claim line ⁠— and set up semi-permanent structures.

He just said "We either need a govt that is accountable or we don't need one at all. People are suggesting President's rule!"

.@CNNnews18 has counted tubelights and fans in Vijay Mallya's designated jail cell. Apparently they're looping "the video that will bring Mallya back"
