There was a table out on the busy sidewalk with several different newspapers neatly arranged on it. It was a newsstand. In Japan, the circulation of newspapers is decreasing year by year, but I wonder how it is in India. From this scene, it appears that many types of newspapers are still being sold, and they seem to be maintaining a certain level of power.
What is particularly interesting is a characteristic unique to India, a multilingual country. The tables are lined not only with English-language newspapers, but also with newspapers in Marathi and what appear to be Hindi. Do the same news stories reflect different principles and viewpoints in each language? This makes me very curious about how newspapers in each language cut through society.
