In Gujarat: ‘Everyone drinks, only the poor die’

گجرات: ’پیتے سبھی ہیں، مرتے صرف غریب ہیں‘

గుజరాత్‌: ‘అందరూ తాగుతారు, పేదలు మాత్రమే చనిపోతారు’

’அனைவரும் குடிக்கிறார்கள், ஏழைகள்தான் சாகிறார்கள்’

ਗੁਜਰਾਤ: 'ਸ਼ਰਾਬ ਹਰ ਕੋਈ ਪੀਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਪਰ ਮਰਦਾ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਗ਼ਰੀਬ ਹੀ ਹੈ'

ଗୁଜରାଟରେ : ‘ସମସ୍ତେ ମଦ ପିଅନ୍ତି, କେବଳ ଗରିବ ମରନ୍ତି’

ഗുജറാത്തിൽ: 'എല്ലാവരും മദ്യപിന്നു, പാവപ്പെട്ടവർ മാത്രം മരിക്കുന്നു'

'ಗುಜರಾತ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಹೆಂಡ ಕುಡಿಯುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಆದರೆ ಬಡವರು ಮಾತ್ರ ಸಾಯುತ್ತಾರೆ'

गुजरात: ‘शराब बहुत से लोग पीते हैं, लेकिन मरता सिर्फ़ ग़रीब है’

गुजरात मं बनेच अकन पियंत हवंय, मरत हवय सिरिफ गरीब

গুজরাট: ‘মদ সব্বাই খায়, প্রাণ যায় শুধু গরিবের’

গুজৰাটঃ ‘সুৰাপান সকলোৱে কৰে, মৰে কেৱল দুখীয়াহে’

ગુજરાતમાં: 'પીએ છે તો બધાય, મરે છે માત્ર ગરીબો'

India is bigger than New Delhi. And people need to know more about the rest of this vast nation.


Younger, media-saturated generations are growing up knowing little about their country, but a lot about the elites of a few metros and towns. For a narrowly-owned, commercially-driven media, the dumbing down of a nation is part of standard operating procedure. The last available data of the Centre for Media Studies (CMS, Delhi) show us that reports from New Delhi account for 66 per cent of news on the front pages of major dailies. The CMS data also found that just about 0.24 per cent of front page news came out of rural India. The TV channels are not much better.PARI exists to change that.We are a non-profit organisation. We publish under creative commons, and do not charge readers a subscription fee or put-up advertisements. Nothing is behind a paywall and we are completely free-to-access by anyone. We guard our independence and receive no direct grants from governments and corporations, nor any funding that could dictate our content. So, we are dependent on volunteer labour, donations from individuals, foundations and institutions that see value in independent and free media.PARI is changing the way Indian journalism reports and documents the rural.India is more than the elite of a few metros and towns. We report on rural lives and livelihoods, languages, communities, migrants and more. We need your help to pull off this most ambitious of Indian journalistic endeavours. The scale of this effort costs money. Donate generously - and spread the word about PARI.&nbsp;
