THE THIRD EYE - ON INDIAN TELEVISION MEDIA

The Bandh Call ,supported by nearly all oppostion parties was given to protest the supreme
court order of March 20, which changed certain provisions of SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities
Act related to arrest and registration of cases.

     The oppostion parties ,Dalit organisations and also Dalit members of BJP and its allies had 
     criticised the order and asked the centre to file a review petition.
     
      I would not try to become Judge myself and comment on this issue but will try to 
      take your attention to the sitaution which Indian Television Media has created for all the  protesters who try to raise 
      their Voice or Demand.
      I say this to you because many of the people watching television 
      wont be able to see with their left or right eye, they surely need to open up The Third eye 
      to reach there whats is being done by the media and its effects to the Nation.

    we all saw what happened on the streets on 2nd of april 2018, violence, gunshots, fire,distortion 
    of the public property done by Dalit people with blue otfits.
    Those acts cannot be justified nor those people who are respnsible for this violence irrsepective 
   of their class ,community or gender.
   BUT what about  Indian teleivision Media ,media has given a clear message to the people of 
   india that  Media will bring your problem or demands in the screen efficiently only if you turn       

   violent ,only if vehicles are burnt  and few people die during protest.
 
  we need to upon look past protests held to understand this ,take the example of Jaat agitation which took   

place in haryana and  Rajputs Karni Sena. Thses two protest were raised with different demand      

alltogether but one thing was similar which you didnt notice and that was media's response to

the protest. Both these protest took place for couple of weeks but media remained silent until

protesters turned violent, until they destroyed public property and once this happened media was
having no other news to popup in their screens.
They never called so called Debates of their own terms and rules when protesters were silent
they never gave detailed look on their demands till they maintained peace.
so whtat message thses media houses are trying to convey ?
Are they saying to burn something to get tv screen share?
Does the Fourth Pillar Of The Consititution act like this ?

 Media does have moral respnsibilities not equal to the governement but never the less.

  I saw the protest last year in capital of the country against BJP government in  the centre done     

by farmers who came from soutern part of the country whioch took place  for months .
  They demanded relief ,from loan wavivers after worst cauvery drought in 150 years ,farmers         

wrapped in green cloth with a garland around there motionless body.

 The farmers were not having sword or guns in there hand ,they were protesting with skulls 
  which they claimed to be off fellow farmers who commited sucide over mounting loans.
  Theyre mained peacefull. NOW the question is how many ofb us know of such story and how    

deep? How much television media gave due importance to such an peacefull protest?
How many debates were held for this? How many questions were raised to goverenment officials
on behalf of the protesting farmers?

  Indian Television ,media has turned into a corporate sector which is running behind TRP, and      
  making a lots of money and chamchagiri.
 it seems that media channels are the puppets of one or other political parties and their anchors     
    are  spokespersons of the  political parites.
 They have forgotten their role to the country and if this behaviour of television media continues 
  country will face such Bharat band's and violent protest on daily basis.
