If you want a handy guide to self censorship in India, it falls into the
following categories: censorship imposed by the market, by political
correctness, by militancy and extremism, by the political connections of
the editor/owner, by the inability to substantiate, and generally on
account of laziness accompanied by fear of libel (Can't get proof or the
other side's version? Just drop the name.) We all practice self
censorship a lot of the time, this writer included. Media bashing? Stick
to TV. Don't bash fellow newspapers. Dog does not eat dog.
