Satya Hindi

As a network, we will defend the idea of India, constitutionalism, democracy, secular values and freedom of expression; we want to celebrate the diversity of India and cherish pluralism.

The current state of the Indian Media is worrisome to say the least. Democracy, secularism, liberalism, equal rights, human rights, dissent, fair journalism and free speech seem to be under threat and the need of the hour is to stand up and fight. We are a group of senior journalists with impeccable credentials who feel concerned at the state of the fourth pillar of democracy. Let it not be said that no one cared. We do. And in this process of trying to stand up for the creation of a liberal, modern, progressive, secular, equitable and corruption free society, satyahindi.com will strive towards :

• Clean Politics : free from money & muscle power, caste & religion, crime & corruption

• Safeguarding democracy and democratic values

• Preserving diversity and promoting pluralism

• Communal harmony and shared cultural heritage

• Electoral reforms

• Free and independent judiciary

• Individual freedom for religious faith, food habits, sexual orientation, etc.

• Strengthen social and gender equality and fight against discrimination based on caste, creed, religion and race

• Women upliftment and empowerment

• Affordable education and health

• Non-discriminatory development policy for all citizens of the country which do not leave behind or oppress or exploit marginalised poor and weaker sections like Dalits, Tribals and Minorities.

• Free and fair media
