Abstract: This article delves into the coverage of the Israel-Hamas war by the Hindi media in India since October 7, 2023. The analysis concentrates on eight prominent Hindi dailies, namely, Danik Bhaskar, Danik Jagran, Amar Ujala, Hindustan, Jansatta, Rajasthan Patrika, Prabhat Khabar , and Punjab Kesari . There were divergent perspectives on Israel-Hamas War that are highlighted by the choices of language and the argumentation that the authors and editors justified through historical, religious and moral viewpoints. However, a nuanced narrative also emerges, reflecting the support of Indian perspective and interests. The article contributes to understanding how the Hindi-speaking public perceives this historical conflict within India’s overall foreign policy framework.
