MEGALOPOLIS INDIAN MEDIA


We are celebrating India's 60th birthday.We are all proud of our vibrant democracy and free media.But with the past experience of Indian media,we can't be satisfied with the way Indian print media or electronic media are behaving.If we analyse the content published in National media or visual media,we find that it is highly urban biased.They are reluctant to cover what is happening in the soul of India "that is poor villages of India".
I can prove this biasness with one empirical evidence in my hand.Last year there was a fashion week organised in India's financial capital "Mumbai".To cover the whole feast around 400 media persons were present from different agencies.One thing should be noted here that this fashion week was to market cotton and khadi clothes.
Now compare it with another incidence just happening 100km from Mumabi that is "Vidharaba" the cotton bowl of India and recent hotspots of farmers suicides.Only 4 to 5 reporter were present to highlight the plight of the farmers.This is the real character of Indian so called free and fair media of Independent India.
Big media barons must ponder over this biasness.We can not only talk about the social inequality and exclusion in terms of economic and social terms but it should cover all other types of inequality and exclusion.
There is a crying need of some devoted reporters to highlight the rural cause in national media to grab the attention of the national policy makers.Then only we can hope for some equatable and inclusive policies and development.

This is a comment on my blog "THE CHANGING NATURE OF THE TERRORIST" from a observant reader:
In fact, the recent bomb attacks in Hyderabad and bombs 'fear' all over India is also a result of "THE CHANGING NATURE OF TERRORISTS". Why is it so that people in other countries don't allow their neighbouring countries live in peace. Since India's Independence, terrorist attacks always becomes an issue now and then and in that moment, high security is applied all over and after few days, it becomes again the same. Attacks by foreigners is possible only with the help of inland residents and such helpers should introspect themselves that what they r doing with their mother country and act accordingly.Self Introspection with necessary good and reconciliation activity would be one of the best solutions to solve the universal problem of unrest everywhere. But when man will realise the GREATER SELF???

This is a beautiful comment on my last blog "INDIA AT 60" from an anonymous but very sensible reader"
Of course Kudos to India for becoming 60 and simultaneously loosing its memory power as a symbol of getting aged. Because it is forgetting and almost most of the youth are not aware of the freedom fighters and great personalities who had sacrificed their everything for the sake of the country. Instead, we r interested again to keep ourselves back into the realms of English people by the icons of Globalisation, by getting ourselves into multinational nuclear deals and so on....Why not the top bureaucrats and politicians of this nation are not realising that America is playing its part with India as part of its neo-Imperialism policy??? Let us awake and see the depth of these policies and take urgent measures to save the middle class and the poor sections of our country.

A COMMENT FROM A KEEN READER

This is a comment on my blog "IS SHE A MOTHER?" from a sweet anonymous and very alert reader :
My dear friend, of course, SHE IS A MOTHER, and therefore, she did this heinous but justifying crime.God knows why he has created WOMAN with such an attraction that men lose their senses and behave inhumanly by physical and mental torture over woman. In such a heinous society of beast like men, a mother would definitely feel that her girl child should not face the situations that she has faced in this inhuman 'man'ly world. But may be due to her unavoidable circumstances, she found the only solution of saving her child by dropping in the river.Atleast she would be safe in the God's lap. Let me narrate a recent incident of a gang rape by policemen in an agency area where the so called protectors of the society gangraped the women of the whole village when their men went to other village for work. And you know the justice done to them!!!The women were boycotted by their own husbands and the medical reports were neutral proving the policemen innocent. Of course, this is the Indian Justice and human justice of this society. what should those women do, where should they go? Will they wish to Keep their girl child alive?????
