NYT may be reliable in general but it's far from being so when it comes to reporting on India. Especially when the government in power doesn't agree with NYT's "liberal" philosophy.
Possibly, but what they do have is robust fact checking and editorial departments. And, a history of when they are wrong reporting on those errors. Something you don't see much with organizations without those safeguards.
I think it is weird to call it a liberal philosophy though, the freedom to practice your religion should be a universal human right no matter where you live.
