Law, Ethics and the Media is an exposition on laws and ethical issues relating to the media with a critical analysis of the functioning of the Press Council of India as a unifying plank. The book examines the role of the Council along with judicial pronouncements that enlarged and at times restricted the freedom of the press. The author with his varied experience as a lawyer, legislator and journalist is treading the whole gamut with a historical perspective and futuristic vision. From the heroism attributed to James Augustus Hicky to the infamy attached with the Niira Radia tapes, the history of Indian journalism presents a kaleidoscopic diversity. Written in a lively and accessible style, this work captures the interplay between the press, on one hand, and the legislature, judiciary, executive, society and the individual, on the other. In the age of convergence where social media and legacy media are competing for dominance over each other, this work will serve a useful purpose by upholding certain immutable principles which are common.

<p><span style="font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;">The rise of Narendra Modi is a watershed moment in Indian politics. In fact, such is the magnitude of his influence on the country that India s governance paradigm and political history can be easily divided into two distinct eras pre-Modi and post-Modi. Modi became the chief minister of the Indian state of Gujarat in 2001. He was undefeated in all subsequent elections and became the state s longest serving chief minister. While Modi strode Gujarat like a colossus, propelling multi-dimensional progress, bigger responsibilities beckoned. Modi s exemplary success in Gujarat, paved the way for him to be popularly elected India s prime minister in an overwhelming victory in 2014. He is a prime minister unlike anyone earlier, both in terms of appeal and body of work. As a result, in 2019, he was re-elected with an even bigger mandate. His appeal is the result of his work in many domains over a long social, political and administrative career. Modi s impact is not restricted to India alone, and numerous national and international polls regularly declare that he is the most popular international leader. In 2021, Modi completed twenty continuous years as the head of a government. This book, a compilation of chapters authored by eminent intellectuals and domain experts, attempts a definitive and expansive exploration into the fundamental transformation of Gujarat and India over the last twenty years due to Modi s unique model of governance.</span><br></p>
