article on press in India, part of series on press in various countries; Indian press is currently undertaking somber appraisal of its methods and future spurred by serious newsprint shortage, labor unrest and econ and soc malaise; newspapers and commentators currently maintain that Govt's increasing econ controls have led to tacit restraints and self-censorship; say that influence of press has waned and that newspapers have failed to investigate scandal and injustice at state and natl levels and that they are overdependent on and too uncritical of Govt; most profound cricitism may be that papers have lost touch with their readers and are failing to reflect attitudes and anxieties in major publication centers--New Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay and Madras--as well as in rural areas; press appears to have blurred view of its role, partly because it relentlessly pursues politics at time when nation is riven with inflation, food and commodity scarcities that are now afflicting middle class, labor unrest and almost indefinable attitude of cynicism and anger; newspaper execs commenting include I Jit (New Delhi States), syndicated columnist D Das, K Nayar (New Delhi Statesman), and G Verghese (Hindustan Times); illus of Jit and Das
