Meaning of being a celebrity!

When a public figure, whom millions of people consider their ideal and inspiration, takes a step, it worth a million steps as people starts taking similar steps. In this context Aamir Khan and his Satyamev Jayate   successfully demonstrates the celebrity power to a corruption and hopelessness ridden nation. Needless to say the aforesaid programme is not totally ‘social’ per say, it is more than a commercial program with double advantage of making image of Mr Khan along with the financial gains. But the issue of this article is not about the programme and its beneficiary, but the mindset of the mass and the media is main issue.  For a man of celebrity status, It is easy to make issue out of everything. But for a non-celebrity but expert of social matter, neither common man nor media is bothered.  With name Satyameva Jayate , a great thinker, political activist and author Shri B Shantanu have been voicing against the evils of politics and governance since y...

Politics, Sex and Democracy

A few weeks ago, entire cabinet of a state government has to resign due to alleged 'rape and murder' of an unofficial political 'keep' by a state minister. India media managed a down play and story dint go viral. Yesterday, some foolish MLAs were watching porn on their smartphones within the assembly house... And this story is still being played with some spices even by International media.  At local social media, It went viral with hashtag #porngate  . It is not a new incident for Indian politics or even for global politics. Clinton's famous blow-job-scandal, Gandaffi's virgin army and teen-sex-fetish of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi are some of recent politicians' sex-masala news. The important question arises, why politicians are too much into sex? Ancient and Medieval Feudalistic societies of Roman and Egypt had such sex obsessed rulers, but the situation was explained by the existence of authoritarian regimes where commoners were help...

The real terrorists!

It is ideology which changes the fate of nations and regimes, not the political parties.  Political parties may be or may not be just mere manifestation of some aspects of a particular ideology. The best example of this ideological manifestation was – the formation of Pakistan. The ideology, which gave birth to Pakistan was not invented by Muslim League but it was founded by  Sir Saiyyad Ahmad decades before it was materialized by the separatist party. This is the reason, all historians and intellectuals of modern India termed him as traitor. Interestingly,  such anti-national traitor got recent facilitation at JNU, in heart of capital India by the leaders of NSUI- a student wing of Congress.  I raised this questions to them too – why to celebrate a traitor's birthday. They dint reply, they knew they are just trying to re-seed that ideology once again! These people, sections of congress, leftists proudly claim to be secular – and successfully do that because our des...

Selective Secularists of Indian Media need to learn from this!

'As Muslims attacked Switzerland for the ban, they didn't bother to look at the minorities in their own country who daily have been subjected to a similar fate as Muslims in Switzerland and across Europe.' - Joseph Mayton, Guardian, UK Reference:   http://www.guardian.co.uk/ Comment: Speaking truth is what expected from media, but Indian media is sell out its voice... in trade with perks from government.... a bare truth can harm the religious vote bank of a particular party! They also forget so quickly the bad deeds and big scams of their Lords. and we also got faithful educated protagonists who can prove every thing for this as they will get some academic post or govt scholarship. But can anyone cheat its own soul. Ignoring genocide in frontier states (J&K, Assam) and in Vicinity (Pakistan, Bangladesh), for these selective secularists' only concern is a disputed structure made by then an external invader at Mecca of Hindus. H...

Is the times of India a rouge news paper?

As we know, major media houses are in hands of communists and congressmen. This fact controls the behavior of public opinion in county at much larger scale. They have been always promoting the weathered ethical values in respect of Indian tradition. News and opinions are always far from reality in most of crucial cases, even we count the upper strata of English speaking Indians. Metro centered media houses are only concern with big cities and celebrities. While major social, economical and development issues get space in once in blue moon, those too in some narrow corner strip. The Hindu is exception to this trend; however it is highly biased for left ideology । When communists kill people, The Hindu supported them openly in Nandigram incident. For time being we can forget their political inclination in order to look at their ethical stand. I found the times of India stand at top with all rubbish, non ethical news on its front page. Yesterday that is 10 May 2009, the front ...
