Sudarshan News (Hindi: सुदर्शन न्यूज़, romanized: Sudarśana Nyūj़a, lit. 'The Divine Discus News') is an Indian right-wing[5] news channel.[6] It was founded in 2005 by Suresh Chavhanke, the chairman and editor-in-chief.[7]
Chavhanke was a long-term volunteer of the Hindu nationalist organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), also associating with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the student wing of RSS.[7] He asserts that he practices ideology-driven journalism[8] and prefers that the news programs on his channel be viewed as opinionated campaigns.[7]
The channel has been widely criticised for blatant communal broadcasting.[6][7][8]
