India trails behind its neighboring nations Pakistan and Sri Lanka, which hold the 152nd and 150th positions, respectively.
The Asia-Pacific region ranks as the world's second most challenging area for journalism, with countries like Myanmar, China, North Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan being among the most dangerous for media personnel.
