This chapter highlights the continuing dominance of television as a primary medium of mass communication in India, even amid the rapid expansion of social and digital media. Focusing on some of the country’s most influential private news channels, it analyzes how systematic constructions of hate are embedded within prime-time broadcasting, where anti-minority narratives are propagated and normalized. These channels not only disseminate prejudice but also frequently invoke or legitimize violence, situating media as an active agent in communal polarization. Drawing a parallel with Radio Rwanda, the chapter underscores how mainstream Indian media’s Islamophobic rhetoric reflects a broader global pattern of media being weaponized by majoritarian regimes. Such orchestrated propaganda functions as deliberate provocation, producing climates of hostility that can translate into violent manifestations ranging from mob lynching to ethnic cleansing. In this construction, Indian prime-time television becomes central to understanding the infrastructures of mediated hate and violence.
