Описание: The Myth of “Neutrality” in Political Commentary: A Case Study

In recent years, the rise of political YouTubers has reshaped public discourse in India. Among them, Nitish Rajput often presents himself as a “neutral” or “objective” content creator—someone who stands above ideology and party lines. However, neutrality is not a label one can simply claim; it is something that must be demonstrated consistently through content, criticism, and courage. And this is precisely where serious questions arise.

A close observation of Nitish Rajput’s content reveals a clear pattern: while he frequently critiques opposition parties, historical governments, or abstract systemic failures, he almost never subjects the present government to the same level of scrutiny. In a democracy, power must be questioned the most—not the least. Silence in the face of power is not neutrality; it is alignment by omission.

True neutrality demands balance. If a YouTuber claims to be neutral, then criticism should flow in all directions—towards the ruling party, the opposition, institutions, and policies alike. But when controversial issues such as misuse of investigative agencies, erosion of federalism, attacks on journalists, suppression of dissent, or weakening of constitutional values dominate national debate, the absence of direct and sharp criticism of the government becomes conspicuous.

Neutrality also requires moral consistency. When mob violence, hate speech, bulldozer politics, or custodial excesses occur, a neutral voice must speak with clarity, not caution. Choosing “safe topics” or historical detours while avoiding present accountability reflects not neutrality, but strategic silence. One cannot claim to be above ideology while consistently avoiding confrontation with power.

Moreover, political communication is not just about what is said—it is also about what is left unsaid. Repeatedly avoiding government accountability while amplifying narratives that indirectly justify or normalize state actions creates a tilted discourse. Over time, this shapes public perception in favor of the status quo, even without explicit praise. That is not neutrality; it is soft advocacy.

In a time when Indian democracy is under intense scrutiny, content creators wield enormous influence. With that influence comes responsibility. Audiences deserve honesty, not branding. If a creator supports the government, there is nothing wrong in admitting it openly. The problem arises when ideological positioning is disguised as neutrality.

Neutrality is not comfort. It is risk. It is the willingness to question whoever holds power, regardless of consequences. Until that courage is visible in equal measure, claims of being a “neutral YouTuber” remain deeply questionable.

Because in the end, democracy does not suffer most from loud supporters of power—but from silent ones who pretend to be neutral.
