Media should behave more responsibly.

How real issues are camouflaged is best exemplified by the events and turns which have unfolded post JNU incident. I am not going to delve the same in details as the media ( both print and electronic) is replete with all these things. The real issues which are drowned in cacophony of media are that not only the social fabric of our country is torn but even the disintegration processes are going on in some parts of the country against its integrity. 

If a small fire breaks out in a locality of the country, such fire is spread not only in all parts of the country but all over the world. And who is the agent to spread the fire ? Public ? No. Politicians? No. It is in my view, the media and specially electronic one. It the uncanny and unscrupulous media which for the narrow gains plays havoc with our emotions. We the gullible people easily become pawns in the hands of media. It is media which creates lawless in the country by tarnishing the image of public authorities. Thanks to the media, conflicts among various religions, castes, regions, states, people practising different faiths, cultures, speaking different languages and so on take place. 

Thanks to the media, the gullible people become aware that terrorists, criminals, Naxalite too have sympathizers in our country. I believe that if the media stops to spread fire which creates local problem, such problem can be solved by the local authority. Thanks to media, a local problem of very small magnitude is highlighted to so much extent that the ordinary people begin to lose faith in the system. What happened in JNU was right or wrong cannot be decided by media. It can be decided by the authorities which are entrusted with the task of taking cognizance of such incidents, carrying out investigation and taking steps to nip in the buds. Instead of helping the public authorities, media is making strenuous efforts to put the public authorities in dock. 

Thanks to the media, the country is projected all over the world as if our country is not worth living. So, my friends, instead of calling names to the politicians, the fringe elements etc. , let's guard ourselves from becoming docile to the contents of media. Our country is spiritual by nature and so the people of our country loves coexistence right from the beginning of civilization. 

Jai Hind!
