    The quality of journalism in India is a true reflection of the freedom of press that we have been blessed under the democracy of India. Journalism has broadened our standard of communication and has helped us to strengthen our quality of education thru different languages and different generations prevailing in India after the Independance. Thanks to the British Raj that gave us the command of English to link with the rest of the world and side by side enhance our local languages and cultures by intensfying our educational foundations. The quality of our daily newspapers within India added with publication of magazines, web sites and many other medias has placed India on a much higher pedestal as compared to many other journalistic displays in the Western world. India has come a long way to display the strength and quality of journalism that has portrayed the image of India in high esteem. God bless all the journalists of India that are contributing to the success of India's strength and quality of journalism which is the lifeline of our ability for effective and healthy mode of communication.
