Eleven newspapers, one Monday of chaos in central Delhi.
On July 21, the front pages of five English dailies, three business papers and three Hindi dailies tell strikingly different stories about the same afternoon – thousands of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) supporters attempting to march on Parliament, police lathi-charges and tear gas, an internet shutdown, and differing injury figures. Whether that afternoon reads as a “crackdown” or a “rampage” depends entirely on which paper landed on your doorstep.
