Watch: Mars Gets an Indian 'Mom'
Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:
Mars gets an Indian 'mom'
It was an incredibly proud moment for India's space programme as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) inserted a satellite into an orbit of Mars, the first time any country in the world has been able to achieve this in its very first attempt. An elated Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the role of our scientists as India truly made an international mark with our space programme. On The Buck Stops Here, we look at the significance of this achievement.
Media shut out: What is PM Modi's message?
The Editors Guild of India has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighting a "certain deficit in transparency in the functioning of the government". The guild has said that diminishing access to journalists and the media runs against the grain of democratic functioning. On The Buck Stops here, we debate: By virtually shutting out the media, what message is the Modi government trying to send? And should the government enlarge access and engage more actively with journalists?
