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
She urges for talks and both nations coming together instead of arguments on whose military is stronger.
TV9 Bharatvarsh batting for Trump and talking of a 'saazish' against him. Context: Trump's classified phone calls, as you can see from that very graphic representation. #NLprimetime

Some very inspired ticker writing on India TV. Can't really translate this, but basically, China is calling out for India in desperation. Or 'China is saying India India' 😅 #NLprimetime
ANNNDDDD Kim is back on TV9. The channel is discussing his disappearance for the nth time. #NLprimetime
NDTV India is reporting on PM Modi's extension of free foodgrain scheme till November.
News discourse in times of COVID, India-China faceoff, Assam flood, Tamil Nadu police custodial deaths. Truly the pits.
Meanwhile, NDTV's been playing PM's speech for a while now.
ABP News showing that graphic video of a man assaulting a differently-abled lady because she asked him to wear a mask. The story could have been reported without showing that disturbing video, I think.
Ok, that wasn't a story really, just a recap of "viral videos" of the day. Disconcerting to see it being presented along with other viral videos of monkeys and other cutesy animal videos. A woman being assaulted is not viral material, ABP.
On Zee News, Sudhir Chaudhary is urging people to join the war against China. He presents some nifty points on how you can contribute.
For starters, you can give missed calls to Zee News at this number.
On India Today, BJP spokie explaining why the PM did not speak about China in his speech today. #NLprimetime
