Still, Indians are more concerned about Youtube being Banned in Pakistan and how India guarantees freedom of expression (or jokes as it turns out)
BS. They have repeatedly been warned about this issue. What else is the GOI supposed to do?
Comparing this with the YT ban is ridiculous

by a minority 5% which I could also find doing in Baluchistan. Does that make it right? Hell India could get Tibetans to wave Indian flags in Tibet but that wouldn't end too well for Tibetans would it?The truth is Pakistani flag waves in Indian Occupied Kashmir every now and then.
There is. The govt has to prove "malicious intent" on the part of the network, which should be easy if they ignored prior warnings. The only absolute defence against the charge is truth - and truth is not on AJ's side in this case.
I was talking about the US as well. Newspapers can and have been sued for libel, defamation etc - the crucial question being whether they lied with malicious intent or not. Usually malicious intent cannot be proved, so they get away with lying. But in this case that's provable. Another factor in US laws regarding press freedom is "prior restraint". In this case, the govt had warned them before, and therefore they violated the govt's prior restraint order as well.I was talking about the US. There's no such law in the US.
i doubt anyone actually watched this channel.They have even showed AP as part of China.
That think tank is a person who's logic tanks more often than not.I was talking about the US as well.

Anyway US laws are irrelevant; in India the media has to follow certain codes. Agreeing to show a proper map after being notified about it by the govt is one such thing. That's really not an egregious assault on freedom of expression.
BTW, as I explained above, "freedom of expression" applies to individuals, not the media. For the media, the applicable concept is "freedom of the press", or more generally, media freedom. So a certain think tank confusing this case with lack of freedom of expression, goes to show that people should not blabber anything that comes to their mind, if they don't know what they are talking about.
News is not an "expression" of ideas. People can express themselves. News organizations are supposed to "report". That is why a commentator or columnist can get away with this, but not a news channel - especially after they have been notified prior.
I'm sure you will agree that this is not the most serious curb on freedom of speech you can think of.
Next they'll probably show Mumbai as part of Madagascar! What else can you expect from the Qataris?i doubt anyone actually watched this channel.They have even showed AP as part of China.
Hardly, they were given multiple warnings and it is clear this is not simply a matter of accidental omission but a political statement this channel is trying to make- why should the GoI put up with that? If you want to operate inside a country you have to abide by their rules.
Do you think the USA would do nothing if it showed parts of its territory as part of Mexico?
Good for the GoI, in the past they have tried to take the "high ground" as they were constantly spat in the face, but these sort of clowns need to be made aware, in a language they understand, that this is unacceptable.
