thewire.in is not neutral and biased towards the left (Communism) according to here: https://www.quora.com/Is-Thewire-in-biased

Just to give you some more context on why I am wary of trusting leftist sources: Communists & BJP (and sometimes Congress) party members have been killing each other a lot (over 200 since 2000), often really brutally in the south Indian state Kerala. I don't know why BJP & Communists have this enmity towards each other. But one thing I find amusing is that Communists don't like religion because "religion kills". During the last 10-20 years, I haven't seen any religious killings in Kerala, but see a lot of brutal Mexican mafia style killings (except may be complete dismemberment), always with machetes & similar weapons and country bombs, in the name of politics.

I said more neutral—it's all relative. If there's another source which is more neutral yet, we can change it again.

Keep in mind that we know nothing about Indian politics here. All I know is that threads about it lead to even worse flamewars than threads about U.S. politics these days, and that's saying something.
