MEDIA -- A present Scenario

Pritis Chandra Majumdar

There are many very very important issues in Indian politics which are involved with our daily life- leading activities that are ignored now and then by the government and also political leaders of India..

The media should , in these cases can work very honestly and sincerely bringing these matters to the notice of the government and leaders concerned for the benifit of the public who have voted them with a great expectations to form country's a better government. This is their (media) not only a moral duty , but also an ethical duty to the people of our country.

But, do we really get it ? No, sometimes a few journalist or media -- may be news paper or electronic media, do compromise with a very important matter or some kind of anti-people activities done by the powerfull persons of our society, or government.

Recently, I observed in an article on Uma Bharti( in a leading Bengali news paper), a BJP leader. The coloumnist's contention was that she should give up her saffron coloured saree or dress and government of India should also ban on such person from any people's election for parliament or assembly.

He also emphasised that the saffron dress was for the great person like Vivekanand and other saint people who performed their Yog-Saadhana at the feet of Himalaya and thus Uma Bharti should go to Himalaya leaving politics.

I do'nt find any valid justification for this arguement except in some personal whim or grouse. There are many comparatively more sensative issues harming society and new generation.

Some of them are -- i) Crude Sex and Violence in TV-serial and Cinema which have got tremendous bad affect on children and growing youth of our society. ii) Heavy Corruption among political leaders at higher rank in ministry and Parliament & Assembly etc. iii) Open nexus between political leaders and Mafias & criminals, iv) Heavy income-tax evaders, v) Heavily corrupted IAS, IPS and other all india sevice higher rank holders in government, PSUs , financial institutions etc.

Besides, there are many inefficiencies in goverment performances including CAG's adverse reports on government irrgularities in management of finance.

Media and honest journalist should hunt about those hot issues for the interest of democracy and people of our country.

Each political leader announces his / her promises to do for the improvement of lives and development of his constituency after winning in election. Does this leader keep his / her promises after winning in election ? Definitely not -- otherwise our country could progress very fast and take a higher rank amongst the developed countries, instead of developing one in the world. Is it not a breach of trust against the honest and sincere voters by the political leaders ?

How many are there honest media and journalist to write continuously against those cheater leaders in our country ?

The true meaning and sense of Communalism and Communal as per dictionery is not explained by the media. Instead, media spreds twisted and biased interpretation of Communalism and Communal , thereby encouraging those leaders to follow the twisted and biased meaning of such sensative words for the cheap popularity and creating sectarian attitude against each other.

Media can only save and protect the people's interest and and thereby the pushing our nation to ahead of all developed countries, if they intend o do so whole heartedly and honestly.
