Understanding Ideological Influence in Indian Media

Assertion (A): Despite corporatisation, media in India have strong ideological contours.

Reason (R): Because most media persons in India have a heavy dose of Marxist indoctrination.

Codes:

(A) Both (A) and (R) are true.

(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false.

(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Correct Ans: (C)

Explanation:

Assertion (A) states that despite corporatization, Indian media retain strong ideological contours. This is true because, even though corporate ownership controls many media houses, ideological biases still shape reporting, editorial choices, and public discourse. Media organizations often align with political or social ideologies, reflecting diverse perspectives.

Reason (R) claims that most media professionals in India receive a heavy dose of Marxist indoctrination. This statement is false because Indian media professionals come from diverse backgrounds and hold various ideological perspectives. While some may be influenced by leftist ideologies, many align with right-wing, centrist, or other viewpoints. There is no universal Marxist indoctrination.

Since Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false, the correct answer is (C). Ideological biases in Indian media exist due to historical, political, and social factors, not solely because of the personal beliefs of journalists.
