Republic TV is an Indian right-wing[8] English-language news channel launched in May 2017. It was co-founded by Arnab Goswami and Rajeev Chandrasekhar, before the latter relinquished his stake in May 2019, converting it into an editor controlled company.[9] It has been accused of practicing biased reporting in favour of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP); it has broadcast misinformation and Islamophobic rhetoric on multiple occasions.[1][10][11][12][13] The channel has been convicted of breaching Telecom Regulatory Authority of India rules.[14][15]

Zeinab Farokhi explores how two prominent Indian English news channels, Time Now and Republic TV, have coopted Twitter to promote Hindu nationalism amongst Indian audiences. She analyzes how the news channels exploit Twitter to fabricate emotional 'felt truths' about Muslims, in efforts to bring the 'Hindu' party into power. ... two right-wing English mainstream news channels, Republic TV and Times Now, have employed Twitter to stir up emotions, and promote Hindu nationalist ideology and anti-Muslim rhetoric. These two news channels use social media to 'propagate association between Islam and backwardness, ignorance, and violence' thereby manipulating and manufacturing public opinion against Muslim communities to further the Hindutva political agenda

Overall, the rise of OpIndia, Swarajya, Republic TV, and similar right-wing media outlets indicates the emergence of a partisan media sector in India. [...] Moreover, with right-wing news outlets such as OpIndia, Swarajya, and Republic TV producing content in Hindi and other Indian languages, anti-media populism has gained more traction, augmenting their potential to not only pull audiences away from mainstream news sources but also shape perceptions about professional journalism even in rural areas.

Many channels, most prominently the right-wing Republic TV, openly telecast propagandist hate spewed by the pro-state media; with the coverage of such issues as 'love jihad (Republic World, 2017a)' and 'triple talaq (Republic World, 2017b)', being a case in point.

Moreover, the blatant complicity of the ruling party and some news media in these crimes has resulted in a situation in which hate crimes against minorities and rationalists are justified and multiple signifiers circulated thus obfuscating the evidence for murders, ignoring the rule of law and replacing truths with multiple, manufactured discourses (see, for example, the outputs from Republic TV and India Upfront).
