The moot issue which engulfs all this debate is the thin line of difference between, extent to which media can be regulated and the extent to which it should be regulated. On one hand, we have a section of society which advocates free speech absolutely and opposes any restriction on speech and expression by the Government; on the other hand we have another set of people which favour casting reasonable restrictions. In this era of survival, all three organs of the state, i.e. The Legislature as the law framing agency, The Executive as the law implementing agency and The Judiciary as the law enforcing agency have played their individual roles with little overlaps effectively and efficiently. It is however, what is proudly termed as the Fourth Pillar of democracy i.e the Media which has tied the three organs of state together and acted as a watchdog to ensure accountability and performance of their respective constitutional duties. Broadly speaking, Media can be classified as Broadcast Media, Print Media and the newly added Social Media. While Broadcast Media primarily deals with telecasts on Television and other electronic devices with efficient powers of addressing large number of people at a time, Print Media is basically Newspapers, Journals and Magazines and Social Media is the use of Internet through websites such as Facebook, Twitter etc. This dissertation dwells into the idea of medium specific regulation on media with powers of punishment and contempt and whether the mode should be self regulation, state regulation, or independent regulator and the researcher expresses his suggestions and observations towards bringing in a better regulations that can boost the efficiency in the legal system through media regulations by analysing media regulations in India along with approaches to regulate the media and drawing a comparative analogy of media laws in other jurisdictions i.e. the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA) so as to craft and present best practices that can be recommended for reformation of media regulations in India. Keywords: Print media, Broadcast media, Self-regulation, State-regulation, Independent regulator. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would also like to thank our esteemed Director Fr Benny Thomas who has always showed us the correct path to follow and helped us to realize our true potential that lies within us.

Each aspect of the School was designed to prepare leaders who would build and serve a great nation. Boys from every background, caste, race, creed, and religion proudly sang the national anthem before it was adopted by a free India; boys and teachers were taught to value service before self; and secularism, discipline, and equality characterised the School’s playgrounds, houses, and classrooms long before these values reached other schools or the nation.

In the last two decades, India’s ranking on the World Press Freedom Index dropped from 80th to 142nd. This issue brief discusses the shortcomings in the Indian legal framework in creating a safer environment for media persons. The brief also discusses the deteriorating nature of journalistic norms and the role 4 | SOCIAL & POLITICAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION CURATED VOICES BACKGROUND Journalism, the fourth pillar of democracy, underpins sound governance and democratic accountability. The Indian Parliament defines a journalist as a person employed by a newspaper establishment as an editor, writer, reporter, correspondent, photographer, or proof-reader (Working Journalists and other Newspaper Employees and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1955). Maintaining the safety of journalists is crucial to facilitating the exchange of information and news on matters of public interest. Over the years, there has been a steep decline in India’s performance on international indices that measure relative press freedom across countries.

    Kashmir: Abolition of Article 370 E Digest Compilation of Relevant articles and YouTube videos Compilation by Ram Puniyani (For Private Circulation) Center for Study of Society and Secularism 602 & 603, New Silver Star, Behind BEST Bus Depot, Santacruz (E), Mumbai: - 400 055. E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com 1 | P a g e Preface Kashmir has been in the news from last couple of months and the Government has abolished article 370 and Article 35A. At the same time the state has been split into two union territories. All these actions of the government have been followed up by a massive propaganda that the Kashmir problem has been the doing of Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, had Sardar Patel been dealing with the issue, the problem would not have been there. False claims are being made that Babasaheb Ambedkar was against Article 370. A video film has been released by BJP to propagate these falsehoods at broad level. This compilation is an attempt to put forward the documented History, the events which led to accession of Kashmir with India and the rise of militancy there off, why the Constituent Assembly drafted Article 370 as the part of Indian Constitution. The basic similarities in the approach of Nehru and Patel on the issue of Kashmir are brought out. Also how Babasaheb opined on division of Kashmir into Indian and Pakistani part is also outlined. We also have given the video links of some of the YouTube videos on the topic. Your feedback to this compilation is welcome.
