Hi all ,
This is my first blog here and i hope that i will update this corner as much as i can .
Yesterday when me and my friends got some sphere time to talk on mail we started discussing on the way which should be adapted in order to show the protest by a common man in our country .This conversation started with present Vadodra riots and reached upto Jessica Lal and Anti-Quota issues .
This conversation started with some pictures of the Vadodara temples that were demolished by the government and that were not covered in the reports of the NDTV .Since these TV reports only shown the demolished Dargah one of my friend was asking why not they show these pictures .Some of us answered him saying that its Indian media that is responsible for such a biased reporting but still showing misleading pictures is not the way to show the protest .In his reply he asked us the way t to d o it as there is no policy for it .
This was his reply
“Ok guys, being the so called literate society what did u do when there were riots in vadodara??? Y did the so called secular media not show these on a equal footing?? I know it all vote politics. So is this quota thing. So isn’t it our responsibility being “ Literate society” to do some thing about this????”
To this someone replied
Right you said that its our duty to clean our society but in a wrong way .If media is doing wrong by showing only one sided reports then the mail you forwarded is showing only the other half of the coin but no one of you is trying to get through the whole picture .if someone is doing wrong then the its not always that the right path is opposite to that path .Indian media is already notorious for saluting only to the rising sun and cooking spicy dishes on the burning issues .Yesterday one forward by vinod (Kalam Speech ) also depicts that indian media (specially electronic) is involved in mudslinging only .
Let be a part of this activity to oppose such things in future and stop the politicians and the press mughals to take advantage of such crisis .They want to make public mad by rage and we follow it .We must follow the way we adapted in Jessica Lal case and anti quota signature movement .In that way we will do justice with the literate society .
To this one response was
The so called literate society can not be influenced by any such traps. There is no mistake in sending such forwards. How many of you had known this before? The media is going wrong and we need to influence them somehow to bring them on the right track.
And for it the answer was
You caught the right line but still you are floating on the surface as it means a way that must not create any malignant situation .SMS and Signature list providing to the president is a way to show protest .If you go through the mail closely you have sent then you will realize how much dangerous stuff it carries with it as there is no sign of attempts to prepare people to oppose any violence due to such kind of government actions ,and also this mail does not provide any solution to this kind of situation .Should we take a message from your mail that since one channel has not shown any picture of the demolished temple we should come to the street .Right says Barath that media is involve only in raising issues of minorities , so if Gujrat govt was doing the demolishment of the dargah then they should be aware of creating a trust inside those people that they are living in democratic India .Why does not same thing happen in Delhi when govt does the same operation there also ?
So this was the conversation of the people who at least gave some thought to the public concerns .Hope we will find a nice way someday
