India’s language press has been a key force-multiplier of the Hindutva cause—and ipso facto of the RSS-BJP. Today’s front pages on the foundation stone being laid for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, are less a product of journalism and more a cross between a calendar and a pamphlet. 
In contrast to the language press, whose front pages look like a free advertisement for a news event, most English newspapers are sober and balanced, and even analytical, in their presentation of what is to happen in #Ayodhya today.
The distinction between ‘desi’ and ‘angrezi’ media—and between North Indian and South Indian language media—was evident when the Supreme Court delivered its verdict in November 2019.
