Freedom of thought and action is unlimited. This unique model is absolutely unparalleled in any disparate media company across the globe.
Respect for individual autonomy and creativity , drawing deeply from the Indian philosophy of anekantwad, appreciation that truth is a land that can be approached from multiple paths.
Long before India was a nation-state, it was a collection of independent kingdoms and many peoples with their unique languages, traditions and cuisines. However, a certain tolerance for one another existed because of the overarching cohesive force of a similar set of principles and beliefs.Therefore, a federal structure along with a certain unity founded on respect of each other despite the many diversities thrived even before the audacious experiment that is modern India was born. In a sense, then, federalism has long been a part of the value system of most Indians.
Federalism in this Indian tradition is, therefore, a balance between two conflicting forces that always apply to any collective human endeavour authority and liberty . Neither can exist on its own, both need to feed off each other, and they always challenge each other. Progress is a tug of war between authority and liberty .Federalism provides for the best solution to this conflict because, while there is an authority, the powers of that authority are limited by liberty, and those powers diminish as the collective grows.
