This is highly disgraceful !




This is highly disgraceful to note. Our media either print or visual both are biased. They have lost vision as to which prominence is exclusively necessary. The media runs behind celebrities and create hype, exaggerating their lifestyle, food and routine activities. Is this fair? No one has reply.

There are thousands of people whose contribution to this nation is ignored and insulted. Those who are in the dark doing their profession as a way of life, maybe for their own cause of leading life is definitely a source of inspiration for the mass. Take the example of a farmer, an artisan or anyone you name, who devotes his entire time and energy for a noble cause, without urging for publicity. Because of their dedication, the nation is in right path. There will be a tragic story behind everyone’s life. He will come across it and do some achievement and come forward in life, may it be a farmer or an industrialist.

But we often see and watch news only about business tycoons, industrialists and those who have cornered crores of rupees. Our illustrious newspapers world over publish articles about those multi-millionaires and their achievements, most of them from Industrial segment. The Forbes list of richest people in the world gets published every now and then and it will be talk of the town all the time.

But why not we speak about a farmer with a small holding who strives in his career and achieves something great which may not be in crores?. Most of us know many such people who are not in the limelight, but have definitely done great job within their sphere of activity. The farmer who generates electric power in his own farmland and sets a model to others needs to be highlighted. Our newspapers and visual media is ignorant about such achievers who are in the remote corners. Why our media is reluctant about such unsung heroes who are doing their might for the cause of building the Nation. Why is this so? The main reason behind this is very clear. Now we often watch and read paid news items. A farmer in the remote area cannot afford this, that’s why he is still in the dark.

Recently Tennis Star Sania’s marriage with Shoib Malik was much hyped with unnecessary publicity. Every aspect of her families activity, their food, dress and everything was publicized added with spicy masalaa. This is one example as to how our media runs behind celebrities to pick-up whatever the celebrities spit. To be frank, I am disgusted reading such news items every now and then. I strongly feel, the dignity and decorum of the journalism is polluted to a great extent.
