Right wing Anchor Arnab Goswami launches his own channel to further Indian Interests
Global Village Space |
Controversial Indian anchor Arnab Goswami has announced the launch of his new English TV Channel, Republic TV. The announcement comes six months after his departure from the Times Now network where he hosted his nightly program. The anchor is very popular in India for his brash and direct manner and his shows are famous for their shouting matches. He is perceived as being very nationalistic because of his anti-Pakistani rhetoric. He is criticized by many on the left in India for being a representative of the right-wing agenda and that he furthers a biased narrative.
“When a Pakistani terrorist group kills my soldier, I shall not try to look at it through this distilled lens of objectivity”
He is, however, unapologetic when confronted with these accusations:
“When a Pakistani terrorist group kills my soldier, I shall not try to look at it through this distilled lens of objectivity and say I must understand the perspective of the militant terrorist and call him a militant or a gunman,” he says.
He has big plans for his new project. Goswami aims to defeat what he calls the “Indian media cabal operating out of Delhi” by making Republic TV the most-watched English-language news channel in India.
“I would say he was a terrorist and he has killed my country’s soldier. If that violates a few rules of journalism then I would like to violate a few more rules of journalism. I don’t believe in this fake objectivity. I’m an Indian and I will be on the side of India.”

He is an Oxford University graduate and started his career at the Kolkata-based Telegraph in 1994 before joining NDTV. In 2006, he helped set up Times Now where he anchored “The Newshour” before leaving in November.
Goswami has built up a team of around 300 full-time journalists and commercial staff in just four months at Republic TV’s brand new newsroom and studio in central Mumbai. It is not totally clear where the funding for the channel is coming from to run this channel which aims to drive India’s agenda in the world.
“I believe that the hegemony of the Western media has to end,” says Goswami
He has big plans for his new project. Goswami aims to defeat what he calls the “Indian media cabal operating out of Delhi” by making Republic TV the most-watched English-language news channel in India. He also hopes to challenge media giants in the west.
“I believe that the hegemony of the Western media has to end,” says Goswami, wearing black-rimmed glasses.
