ODDs and EVEN of NARENDRA MODI speech in UNO

                               LION COULD NOT ROAR

It was certainly a delight to hear MODIJI in UN. But the speech he is famous for he could not deliver the same. Media follows NAMO, and media favours NAMO but what INDIA lacked in the regime of congress in the speeches of premier of the country that cannot be compensated as speculated by the country.He spoke in Hindi and this made media to compare his speech with that of ATALJI but to my surprise his speech was nowhere near to that of ATALJI extempore speech,as he was seen looking in to paper for source. Even in the matters of PAKISTAN he seemed to be more like a statesman that leader of a country which is facing terrorism and insurgency since independence. When PAKISTAN raised the issue of referendum in Kashmir what prevented MODI to raise the issue of terrorism,violation of cease-fire,insurgency, and Al quaeda. Although he talked about it indirectly by using terms like good and bad terrorism, and condemned some nations for allowing their soil to be used for rise of these terrorist, but this also seemed to be bureaucratic effort by not taking the name of PAKISTAN directly.I don't think the leaders of RSS would be happy to hear his speech.

Now talking about Even, there major three things he talked about, 1. global village, 2. co-operation in field of cyber space and clean water 3.global terrorism. Talking about the first he connected the effort of INDIA in global cooperation to her culture by using phrase वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम। He also advocated for reforms in UNO by talking about the side effects of less participation of Nations in UNO by citing examples of different groups and advocated unity among them. He also demanded cooperation from UN in fields of cyber space and clean water indirectly.Lastly he talked about global terrorism and appreciated efforts to finish it, but at the same time he advocated for the inclusion of assent of all nations in such operations. By talking about good and bad terrorism he indirectly tried to surround PAKISTAN,but this indirect blame would have gone in vein if he would have prevented himself by directly commenting on PAKISTAN which he finally does not. As he said that the issue of Kashmir cannot be solved by raising it in UN and also said that INDIA want bilateral talks with PAKISTAN which clearly sidelined any role of UNO in Kashmir. But certainly he would have replied in a better way, may be the pressure of UNO affected his flow. Similar bureaucratic approach is not expected in his policies when dealing with PAKISTAN.   

IS INDIAN MEDIA HEADING TOWARDS CULTURAL VACCUME ?

                           Indian Media:Its Social Obligation v. TRP

On one fine evening i was watching some news channels in quest for news. Previous day a boy was killed by Tiger in Delhi zoo.What was the reason behind that accident? Who were responsible for the accident? Was it possible to save his life? These are the question to be answered after inquiry  but certainly some other questions related to incidence troubled me and  forced me to raise these questions infront public through my blog. The questions were, what is the role of media in our society? Media has any role in building a nation or not? Is media really fourth pillar of democracy? And the answer of these questions were not encouraging when i tried to answer those in context of Indian media. In this particular case media seemed to be trying to sketch TRP. A case which demanded a all together different role from media, it acted reverse . Where media was required to contribute in the inquiry and find out the culprit and create pressure to punish them. Media on the contrary did some thing else they used the video clip(I am finding it difficult to understand who the hell shooted  these videos,our society has become that insensitive? that is a different discussion, so leaving that) and the clip was on Air till the next day and was broadcasted with different headings. Anchor seemed to be trying to create a sensational thrilling program out of the real mishap. How sad is it? Where Indian Journalism is going.

I was delighted to see the role of media before Parliament Elections, where they contributed in the festival of democracy by performing the role assigned to them and certainly the rise in polling percentage must be credited in the accounts of  youth and media. Social media also proved to have acted as platform for discussing the worth of a candidate and a party.But today it seemed to me that media is still trying to cash the popularity of Our Prime Minister and has become insensitive enough to cash the end of a life even. It is unfortunate. But we cannot blame media alone as media project only those stories which are liked by people of this country. So till Indian audience will continue watching Big Boss and Roadies where one is full of obscenity and the other is dictionary of abusive language, till we cannot expect change in TV programs or in the approach of media. Till Indian audience will continue searching reality in TV we will see media trying to make stories in utmost mishap/accident even of death.
