Can you recommend some better source for people outside India, where we can find out about some local afairs, but also opinions on world topics? Big plus if it is video.
Most have become corrupt in general, and require a lot of nuance and knowing Hindi language to understand. There is nothing that will not piss off socialists. The state of Indian media is like this, all TV channels are state propaganda directed by a religious extremist party in government, the only one that was left (NDTV) is going into one of the 2 colossal oligarchs’ pockets who are partners with said religious extremist government.
What is left is digital media, and the only one that could be digested is newslaundry (on YouTube and own website), and it is liberal and somewhat reactionary. Outside of southern states, India has no actual leftism. Capital Delhi has an anarchist party called AAP, that is slowly expanding and winning in other states.
There are many cancerous ones like Dhruv Rathee, Akash Banerjee and so on, avoid them like the plague.
There is blog/website style stuff you can read on Caravan, The Wire, The Ken or Crimethinc.

Thank you, for explanation and recomendations. It is similar situation like everywhere else, sadly this is not surprising.
I don’t expect to find the truth, but to get a feeling what someone from India wants people to hear, like I try to find from other countries.
