Once I heard a criticism about Indians by Indians that Indians usually spend their time on seriously debating on small things such as 'How the colour of Cow's tail is going to affect the fortunes of a person when he takes that Cow on his house opening ceremony', 'How going to Baba temple yields fortunes- after taking bath or without bath?' and 'How one has to speak and how he shouldn't have talked on this thing or that thing- in this way or that way...'
When I see recent slugfest by media persons, who were thought to be cream of Indian professional think tank (eg. 1 by FirstPost, 2 by Times of India, 3 by NDTV and soooo oooon), in the same tone of politicians of India, those who were deemed not only corrupt but also opportunistic with a single puppy comment of Narendra Modi, I have to concede that Indian psyche nowhere near to improving its state of mentality if there is no criminal thought behind this slugfest.
It is known truth, no politician in today's India is no greater than a street thief. They do in their way whatever they want to do and bend their tongue in whatever way it suits improving their situation whenever they caught. But it is sad to know that Aam Admi of India is increasingly in a belief that our mainstream media along with some notable intellectuals increasingly falling prey for political virus.
In the modern days media is heart of a nation. It is the representative of the people and the psyche of Nation. It should lead the people giving the right direction to them by knowing what is right to do for the sake of country. Media persons seems to be earning for their food and stay not for their country's good and state. But they are the best people who can easily understand that their this kind of approach cannot serve not only their country but themselves too for long.
This is widely played game. If you play for your team, your team gets prize money and you also get a chance to win man of the match. But if you play for your personal records ignoring group benefits- eventually your chances will die along with your team.
Debate on what's useful for country not your TRPs. Debate on what's hurting the country most, not what's hurting you and your boss. Create a potential which attracts more creative views to improve the state of state, but not to improve the TRP of channel by twisting few comments.
