- In this episode of India Votes 2024, we explore the holy city of Varanasi where Prime Minister #NarendraModi will contest the general election. Recent developments have left communities uneasy in this city. We then look at how the #media landscape has changed under the Modi government where the mainstream media has been accused of being pro-BJP. This episode will also delve into the involvement of the Indian diaspora in the #LokSabhaelections and how Indians living thousands of kilometres away are keenly watching the world's largest elections.
Editor's note: We acknowledge incorrect footage has been inadvertently used for the Kashi Vishwanath temple in this episode. We regret the error.
INDIA VOTES 2024, presented by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) is a six-episode series that takes you on an insightful journey through the heart of Indian democracy. While the Indian Prime Minister #NarendraModi is seeking a third term, a brand new Coalition is on the bloc - the I.N.D.I.A (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) featuring key opposition leaders such as Congress scion #RahulGandhi, TMC leader #MamataBanerjee, and AAP leader #Arvind Kejriwal among many others.
INDIA VOTES 2024 goes beyond the headline and daily coverage to explain critical topics and issues facing Indian voters as they participate in the elections of the world’s largest democracy.

No body worried 1 st phase 2 nd phase congress already sweeping .. you cry
Bhai tu kisi bhi wing ka ho modi ya rahul supporter ho lekin aisi media ko tum kya koi bhi support nahi kar sakta 😂😂
Nidhi Razvan is dating omar Abdullah, a leader of opposition, it's pretty clear how unbiased she is
hahaha😂😂😂😂
Bhai tu kisi bhi wing ka ho modi ya rahul supporter ho lekin aisi media ko tum kya koi bhi support nahi kar sakta 😂😂
सही बात है😂
Jai Shah is Dating Rubiqa Liyakat😅
she is so hot...she can be biased.its only on looks she went ahead....❤
Why are western nations so interested in us now 😂😂😂?
Because godi media doesn't show anything 😂😂
As our dear Jay Shankar Ji said, Western media is delusional into thinking that they are a playing a role in this election and will have an effect. 😂
Because Modi murders people who oppose his autocratic ways
@@dinesh6489 do you really think that eple of India really give a shit to these biased leftist western media
😂😂 mai v yahy soch rha every single news india india 😂 Bhai india ne Aisa kya kr Diya h 😂
Yes, India is divisive. On the other hand all 57 muslim countries are so inclusive. Everyone has right to protect their own culture and religion.
So u agree india is autocratic like those countries?
@@pixelpie5280 You need to understand logic and sarcasm. It seems you only read 1 book, hence you missed these.
@@PARTHASARATHISAMANTARAY u need to understand comprehension and common sense . It seems u read no books and hence u missed these .
@@pixelpie5280 Are you saying islamic countries are autocratic ??
If so, then why are islamic countries autocratic and dictatorial ??
Why do you want to camp are with those countries????
Do you want to become them ???
Why don't you compare with progressive secular countries?
Sick !!! Uffff
Thank you western media for making me vote for Modi. You guys are his biggest promoter
why, coz you are dumb?? or brainwashed by Godi media.
👆
Just to be clear to unassuming viewers, most of these commenters that seem to be supportive of the BJP and have a surprisingly large number of likes within minutes are all BJP IT Cell employees, the likes being from bot accounts
@@nadlax5920 Says the Chinese bot 😂
How conveniently she did not show the back part of the mosque that clearly consists of temple remains 5:30
they will never show hindu temple in Pakistan
You are not allowed to speak the truth when it comes to Islam. Because without lies, Islam dies. And channels like ABC, Aljajeera unleash their propaganda to the world.
They are doing intentionally , just say we are finding russian oil there
They are biased.
Modi will get 370 seats, but after this documentry he will get 400+. Even 10 yr old can understand, this is a prepaid documentry against modi🤣
No, it's real journalism. There is no agenda, just telling the truth from both sides. Remember debate is the cornerstone of democracy, you have nothing to fear if you can rebuke these claims, rather than just make disparaging, unfounded comments against the ABC. Don't destroy your democracy in the blind support of one side of politics and become like China or Russia.
Bhai tu kisi bhi wing ka ho modi ya rahul supporter ho lekin aisi media ko tum kya koi bhi support nahi kar sakta 😂😂😢
With such biased stories we know where ABC stands
Bhai tu kisi bhi wing ka ho modi ya rahul supporter ho lekin aisi media ko tum kya koi bhi support nahi kar sakta 😂😂
There are so many minorities in India 🇮🇳, Buddhist, Jain, Sikhs.. Please go asked them also..why only muslim? Muslim is not even minority it's 250 million right now
The numbers might be high by now. Don’t know when was the last statistics done🥲
Hiii, from WhatsApp university with no brains
@@beingdove1263no you from isis
But hindus 800 million in front of them are they not minority
@@MISHA_NARANG_SHARMA They are the largest minority and growing very fast -fastest growth rate in the whole world!
A foriegn media is making this article in india which has much criticism of indian govt also shows that india is democratic
Not democratic , authoritarian government 😅
@@surjeetdosanjh9569 I hope the Kangress IT cell is paying enough for you to literally reply to every comment. 😂
@@lifePaultheball basically you are andhbakat , can’t do anything
@@surjeetdosanjh9569So can they go to Beijing and show the world how authoritarian China is😂😂😂
Ya know, Bohra Muslims support Modi Overwhelmingly becoz it is Business Friendly and The Wealthy of all Muslim Communities, They Know How Modi Supports Free Market Entrepeship Based Economy
& Also People like A.P.J Abdul Kalam, K.K. Mohhammad never saw Hindus or Hindutva as a threat. Because they are rooted to culture of this land. They are islamic by faith & Hindu by culture. The moment muslims start subscribing to Sanatani Muslim ideologies(Like A.P.J Kalam), Hindutva will die.
Edit: Thats not possible tho cuz just look at the number of Ms in Abdul kalam’s funeral Vs Mukhtar Ansari’s funeral.
Bhai tu kisi bhi wing ka ho modi ya rahul supporter ho lekin aisi media ko tum kya koi bhi support nahi kar sakta 😂😂
@MISHA_NARANG_SHARMA kessi bhen ye baised wali ya so called godi media
Every Pro nation and Pro development Muslim supports Narendra Modi ji,
And they rightly should
In case Vatican was destroyed and a mosque was built on top of it. Will the ABC present the same narrative as it is presenting for Gyanvapi temple
Bhai tu kisi bhi wing ka ho modi ya rahul supporter ho lekin aisi media ko tum kya koi bhi support nahi kar sakta 😂😂😊
Why suddenly ABC and DW and western media is so much take in interest... And surprisingly ABC allowed now to write comment!
Information data harvesting
And you are harvested
Coz India called itself biggest democracy ( authoritarian ) in the world !
@@surjeetdosanjh9569 It's an illusion created by the people losing the narrative who ruled this country for 70 years. There are 13 states The BJP doesn't have a government. What kind of autocracy are they running ? Very bad at it Saarr.
5th largest economy going to 3rd . Largest population.
That's mean India is on right track 😇
This shows Bharat is rising! Why are our Australian media are bothering about Modiji and India. We have to concentrate on our country's prosperity rather than India.
Bhai tu kisi bhi wing ka ho modi ya rahul supporter ho lekin aisi media ko tum kya koi bhi support nahi kar sakta 😂😂😊
Aayega toh modi h
Try as hard as possible but
Modi will come
WhatsApp uni student 😢
Radicalized fanatic 😂😂😂
@@gauravdas6741Lmao right. Look at 5:30 they didn't even dare to show the back of the Gyanvaapi Mandir structure which is still intact.
Agree👍
@@gauravdas6741 yeah 100℅
Before 2014 🇮🇳 was a paragon of democracy, harmony all..
No partition no riots
No series bomb blasts
No terriost attack
One guy came and all become radicalied fanatic.
Das ji read about Direct Action day and tell me who were radicalising whom
Just call this so called news report "Lets meet the anti Modi and BJP" 😂
I hope there is someone who will show the condition of Hindu temples in Pakistan
That won't happen. In Pakistan you don't have democracy.
@RJ-bq4ix Earlier it was possible for some western journalists to sneak into muslim countries and expose the horrors there but now they have become aware and won't let anyone do any negative stories about them. Moreover so many western businesses and people like the Bush family will do business with them for oil money. Even Modi sent back the Saudi princess to her captives, because he was such a coward he did not want to offend the Saudis.
i never see indian media talking about local constituencies of USA and EU.
Haha tera godi media check kar Kuch bi Bolta hai dusre country ka politics
MODIfied INDIA ❤
@subham1225 • Holly Molly, MUDDIEfied BhaRat India more than it already is? Varanasian Sadhu Sahib Modi will enjoy it.
That’s my city ..
We will make sure Modi goes to parliament with land slide ✌️…
Har Har Mahadev
The more the Western media criticises Modi, the more the indian hindu voter will get united
great thing that western media is ignored, just like this piece 🤣
The river is Ganga not Ganges.
@@dexterminador Nor are the Narcotics.
Disappointing! Just like other western tropes! Why didn’t you interview the priest of gyanvapi temple instead of interviewing the Sankatmochan temple priest who is a dhimmi!
All the left ecosystem in one frame😂
😂😂 100%
Bhai tu kisi bhi wing ka ho modi ya rahul supporter ho lekin aisi media ko tum kya koi bhi support nahi kar sakta 😂😂
@@MISHA_NARANG_SHARMA there is no neutrality in the world, there is always someone with hidden agenda
Compare Rae bareli with Varanasi and you gonna get your answer
She interviewd all the leftists journalists. LOL
@tikz_patriot9207 R Jagannathan is not leftist, nor was the professor at BHU. She also interviewed many people who were Modi supporters, praising him and also showed lots of footage of thousands of Indian diaspora who were cheering him.
The honourable Sri Nadrendra Modi Ji is a real sanatani putting the nation first & he has shown period
Wow foreign media😂😂😂
Modi is talking about bringing UCC. UNIVERSAL CIVIL CODE.
Which is basically same law fir all citizens. Where as congress is opposing it.
They think laws for every religion should be different.
My question is who is devicive? Modi or Congress??😂😂
Uniform*
300 million muslim in india is not minority.
30 nhi 280 million
Don't know about others but im not ashamed to be a Indian Muslim.
You shouldn't be! 😊😊😊
You just lost your topic . From Modi's conituency to press freedom to .......
Only modiji❤
Decisive, innovative and strong
Progressive. People/media houses making such videos have no idea about India and its history.
Regressive, I would say.
Sold out . They will sell their family for AU$s
Will the anchor show the picture of mosque completly. You will be shocked.!
Let's every Hindus be unite again and do Vote to bring back/retain the government in power to protect our rights,for our future, our roots and culture values
Thanks ABC for trying to be unbiased in reporting. Unfortunately India does not have an "eSafety Commissioner" like Australia does to censor the digital content. In your next episode please discuss with minority community about Uniform Civil Code and try to understand why muslims in India have personal laws based in religious beliefs, when compared to any other democracy these special personal laws are unique to India
Nice sarcasm
Only Indian democracy offers personal laws and Sharia to minorities both Christian and Muslim@@bulthaosen1169
Thank God .. Nidhi Razdan finally got 2 days job in Delhi University.. What happened to Harvard..??
❤ B🎉J🎉P ❤
India is reclaiming its old place not only outside India but also inside India. Muslim Invaders destroyed Hindu temples and built Mosques over the same places. This is the time those destroyed Hindu temples should reclaim their old places. Not all Mosques are controversial, but those which were built that way, are controversial. This is a wrong impression that, all Mosques are going to be taken by Hindus. This fact should be made clear as well.
ABC forgot to cover the most important factor in Kashi Vishwanath case, that its a Jyotirlinga, among the most holiest sites in Shaivite Hinduism. Tell me what bone of contention is in there for Muslims? Since when do they have claim on among the holiest sites of Hinduism just because Aurangzeb destroyed the original temple and made the Gyanvapi mosque over it? Its like saying if tomorrow I destroy the Kaba, Muslims will cease to have prayer rights over it.
@strawmanfallacy8666 Excellent point! But how to answer some historians and others who say there is NO EVIDENCE to show that aurangazeb (cursed be his name!) was a wicked fellow?
@@user-kc7mu4jp4p There is literally mountains of evidence on him, stop reading whitewasher Marxist historians like Audrey Truchske.
BJP is the only party talks about future and development, congress trying to divide the society in the name of religion, caste, language, geography etc the aim is to weaken India
😂😂😂😂 mc
The learned head priest of Sankat mochan represents the views of majority Hindus or anyone having faith in humanity. Respect Sir 🙏🏽
Excellent independent reporting, thanks.
Modi, the best Indian PM ever. Modi Once Again.
A single man Mr Modi has lifted 400 million out of poverty in his term..so there should no questions to be asked...Modi is coming back..
PM Modi is undoubtedly a greatly loved leader in world democratic history.
Is that the same journo from your news channel claiming that she was forced out by the current govt., while her visa expired. Come on don't extend your participation in the current Indian elections, your only here to report ABC not to influence.
Thank you for bringing our popular Indian Harvard Nidhi Razdan, since Harvard Uni is too small for her stature, she's spreading her knowledge in Ashoka University now.
Like the famous British comedian Ricky Gervais said: do your reporting and....
Western nations will know the true meaning of "Right wing" goverment when Yogi comes to power in Centre. Modi's is a 'centre right' goverment that is much closer to the centre than the West's perception of it.
No matter how much biased n hypocritic propaganda u ppl do We ppl of Bharat will make sure Modi wins 400 plus seats
Western media as well as Arab media claims to be neutral and show both sides of the picture. However, they only show the view of the Muslim clerics, not even the secular Muslims. They show the viewpoint of a select few Hindus who worship Western culture at its core.
I do not think majority of the Indians are like how you want to portray them. So, I see your sources as biased as well.
@eadicalpotato666 I agree!
india is very popular among western media
THERE IS NO GANGES IN INDIA. IT IS NAMED RIVER GANGA. PLEASE MAKE CORRECTIONS.
Is ABC the same organisation which has a khalistani supporter as their Asia bureau chief??
That’s there job to show the news
@@surjeetdosanjh9569 This is not news, this is "opinion".
Nidhi left NDTV for what?
She got Associate Professor post in Harvard 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But ABC won't fact check it. How can they? If they does, no one will watch them...🤣🤣🤣
they legit started with "varanasi" which is why i openend the video to know what they think of this one constituency and went on listening stuff on religion, media, youtube, indian diaspora in the world, modi and the world and what not. they dont even have a structure for the video ffs.
@@satyamdudhagara3444 They want feed their population about India... Earlier they fed them with smelly people, snake charmers, breeds like rats...
Now, they are feeding Hindu nationalism, Minorities, sorry Muslim under attack and bla bla
That Nidhi and Harvard thing was too funny 😂
@@agnimitram340 I still remember her blushing when Anchor Prannoy Roy introduced her as Associate Prof. Harvard University 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hey ABC, Fun fact, did you know there are minorities other then Muslims in India, I happens to be one of them, I am a Jain, Not Hindu but let me tell you that your stories and coverage about my country is far from the truth.
PM Modi is a Hero, and he has earned that by his work. Of course, he's not perfect, but then who is?
yes India, Modi ji & BJP has some issues, but they are working on it. if there are 10 issues, there are at least 50 things which are on the correct path.
O and btw, all those journalists In your video not a single one of them is a centrist, unbiased . They all are heavily leftists.
5:05 Mosque was built "after destroying temple" and not "on destroyed remains of temple".
Sister did not show any development/good things about Varanasi.. Show is titled.. "Narendra Modi's constituency"..
India is inclusive or divisive you will get to know when Modi will be sworned as PM of India again in June.😊
A gentle correction- the kashi vishwanath temple that you've shown in the video along with the mosque at 4:45 is incorrect please check this correct the huge mistake. Thank me later:)
Hahaha you cant understand India and Modi😂 now Indians dont care abbout West
😂 did abc ever made video on kashmiri hindu exodus and genocide pakistani hindu minority girl forced marriage, and conversion no ,in thier term oppressed community is only muslim and they don't do any bad , this a just another masterpiece of selective journalism
The first episode of this series made me excited for a neutral examination of the Indian elections. But all three episodes since then have just been Modi/BJP slander pieces. Really disappointing.
Next time don't forget to switch off the comment section before publishing a propaganda like this😂
Simple answer- all western media and in india leftist media relying on MODI 😅😅😅
Varanasi district has 84 percentage population whereas varanasi city has 70 percentage hindu population
"Why should we give it up?" This is the exact attitude that is creating all this conflict. That arrogance has to be broken.
Does bbc has the right to question the british royal family? Oh.... no. Unwritten understanding that they will not. So bbc is free but ndtv is not. 😂😂😂.. ollah hoooo
Adani and Ambanis like many other business houses are growing rapidly and in turn the nation is benefitted.
But you wob't like it if you are a Communist who is paid by China to promote Socalist and Communist Agenda !!!
Are there any Hindu temple or church in mecca medina. There were Jews and Christians living there now there are none.
Unsubscribed
😂😂
Same 😂
Western hypocrisy
Such a biased news😂😂😂😂.
last video was good but this video is pure propaganda. Showing one side of story is always biased and easily recognizable
Why these people are so obsessed with Modi? We have so many problems which can not be solved in a decades. It will take time. For now we can only trust Modi to handle our country.
Ah, its always a mosque;
WESTERN PROPAGANDA HAS STARTED 🤣🤣🤡🤡Well, bring it on 🔥🔥🚩🚩
Modi is winning 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cry more!!😂😂
Soros back story..!
😂😂 again just before election 😂
Hoping India returns to the pure democracy, our freedom fighters fought for … no voices should be suppressed
Pre decided mind 's propaganda.
Please worry about your own country affairs instead of broadcasting poison about India
Modi❤
You really show the beauty on the streets, the vibrant colours of the textiles. It seems like organised chaos. I am surprised things still get done. An immensely beautiful and spiritual city. Modi was super smart to pick this city as his base. As a devout Hindu he can win here easily.
ABC try very hard but Modi is going to win
ABC kaha ke news hai be
America
Australia
Finally someone is speaking neutral also having few points in favour of opposition. Congratulations to ABC🎉
In last 10 years, land prices in Varanasi has gone up by about 20 times.
For muslims in India, if they dont get a judgement in favour of them then they will say its injustice victimising themselves without considering and regarding the pain and suffering of other communities.
Next week: woke wave 🌈
get your facts right 4:47, that's not Vishwanath mandir
Hmm the newspiece is named Unravelling Varanasi. It had 5 minutes on Varanasi and 20 minutes on everything else under the sky. Then media cries that we get targeted.
If India is not a hindu country then Vatican is not a christian country, Saudi and Palestine are also not Islamic countries.🙏
The propaganda is insane ! Well done !!
Wish our media sends reporters in the Great Australian Outback and ask indigenous Australians about how they feel on the overwhelming NO vote on the 2023 Indigenous Voice Referendum. Most Anglospheric countries today are outright examples of how settler colonialism has been normalized at the cost of the voice of Indigenous people.
I like that ABC gives both sides of the issues. Everything wasn't hunky-dory under Congress either. The press was severely controlled, state goverments overthrown and opposition politicians jailed. This was their history that the younger generation may not be aware of. Their caste and religion-based politics at the expense of the majority is largely responsible for the rise of the BJP.
