In India, growing cases of Muslims being forced to chant “Vande Mataram” on camera have raised serious concerns about media ethics and religious freedom.

Critics say this is not journalism but a culture of public humiliation that promotes hate instead of unity. They argue that true patriotism means respecting all faiths, not pressuring people to prove their loyalty.

Observers believe such incidents damage India’s image as a democratic and secular nation, where freedom of religion is guaranteed by the Constitution.
