&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While India has not slipped further on the World Press Freedom Index 2021 published by the international journalism not-for profit body, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), however, it continues to be counted among the countries classified &amp;ldquo;bad&amp;rdquo; for journalism and is termed as one of the most dangerous countries for journalists trying to do their jobs properly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The latest index released on Tuesday ranks 180 countries, topped, yet again, by Norway followed by Finland and Denmark, while Eritrea is at the bottom. China is ranked 177, and is only above North Korea at 179 and Turkmenistan at 178.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India is ranked 142, same as last year, after it had consistently slid down from 133 in 2016. In the South Asian neighbourhood, Nepal is at 106, Sri Lanka at 127, Myanmar (before the coup) at 140, Pakistan at 145 and Bangladesh at 152.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The report released on Tuesday stated that India shares the &amp;ldquo;bad&amp;rdquo; classification with Brazil, Mexico and Russia.&lt;/p&gt;

-The Indian Express For India, the latest report has blamed an environment of intimidation created by BJP supporters for any critical journalist, who, the report said, is marked as “anti-state” or “anti-national”. While India has not slipped further on the World Press Freedom Index 2021 published by the international journalism not-for profit body, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), however, it continues to be counted among the countries classified “bad” for journalism and is termed as one of the most dangerous countries for journalists trying to do their jobs properly. The latest index released on Tuesday ranks 180 countries, topped, yet again, by Norway followed by Finland and Denmark, while Eritrea is at the bottom. China is ranked 177, and is only above North Korea at 179 and Turkmenistan at 178. India is ranked 142, same as last year, after it had consistently slid down from 133 in 2016. In the South Asian neighbourhood, Nepal is at 106, Sri Lanka at 127, Myanmar (before the coup) at 140, Pakistan at 145 and Bangladesh at 152. The report released on Tuesday stated that India shares the “bad” classification with Brazil, Mexico and Russia.
