Dear Intellectuals,
I feel it’s necessary to put things in perspective. So that things can be better assessed and can help nurturing others getting a clear idea and benifits that what we used to gain and what we are gaining now from media. How our little students can gain, learn and harness their thoughts of dreams? What is gained from media now a days is the vocabularies of politics, repeated or new identities/stories of Bollywood, the 4&6, 50&100 runs of Cricket respectively the protagonist of each story and its play of timing. Nevertheless not to miss out the Cleavage show, Mr. Rambo, 10 Lakhs Kurta Kameez blah blah. Here the vexation starts when there is no proper TV platform for science/research, medical/biotechnology, math/computer, history/geography etc. with many other vital fields. We have an Information & Broadcasting ministry but sorry to write we don’t have dedicated TV platform for all the above.
Media is commonly understood by many an intercourse of act or fact of access. Not the other one. It was made the 4th pillar of democracy to put across the message passing from place to place, from time to time, to individual, masses or the lowest segment of society. You know better its style of functioning and neutrality.
Now question arises,
1- The kind of message/information, its authenticity, legality and its impact on common man that too including our future little boys & girls who aim to be researchers, teachers, doctors etc.?
2- Its frequency of broadcasting?
3- The kind of learning & motivation the young students are supposed to learn in their study of research & experiment?
Many time media plays 3/4 th aristocracy news about Bollywood, Poliwood, Cricwood and 1/4 th of other. Many time media sees the metro & Delhi neighboring states are connect of India and others are disconnect.
Why are you intellectuals so silent live & sleep? Have you ever noticed the full day analysis & counting of political scenario and election results of NE states, Odisha etc? No, because a film, cricket match, politics of perfume can easily be watched out and smelled. Our people too keep their interest on because there is no other options available and this is our great infrastructure of at least of some knowledge and we feel proud of it. We dream about our child to become film star, only cricketer to get publicity not other sports person, else a politician of mass. Cause we experience these from our media darling, life is all about PCB of Politics, Cricket, Bollywood not Physics, Chemistry, Biology. Many of us would certainly agree that many more of our country’s children don’t know or remember the best historian, geologist, mathematicians, physician etc. that we have, to know them probably Google is needed but the very same children pretty much know & remember too about SRK, AK, SK, ARB, DP, Brad Pitt, Mark Taylor, Nicolas Sarkozy, Justin Bieber, Kate Winslet etc. Regrettable they don’t get proper medium to remember our national hero’s of different section but easily cross 7 sea’s of thousands distance to keep the remote celebrities in heart & mind. This is where they collect the news and follow it upon. A best example, apparently it’s easy to find Sachin’s credibility and reward him Bharat Ratna but it’s too difficult to find another Kailash Satyarthi to reward him Bharat Ratna. How many of you knew about Mr. Satyarthi from media before his name was finalized for Nobel prize? Finding isn’t too difficult but TRP matters. Isn’t it, the idea of media a TRP based cheap publicity?
Lastly I’m not against any news that’s being broadcasted but I concern about the honesty & neutrality focus for each field. So that our future generation will remember all the great heroes of their subsequent field equally. I believe every field has tremendous amount of knowledge and sharing.
Hope my voice will goon gunnai on one day.
Thank you!
