O...THE MEDIA...!

Umm...about women's day. a special day. Right?
What did I do that day? I boarded a bus..ouch!
some guy pinched the piece of flesh on...under..
anyway, let it go. I boarded a train. Touches of hawkers,
caresses of daily passengers...and the comments...
as I read the emotionally charged articles of newspapers.
About the oppressions, the submission and the inactivity
of the society in general. Who are the society, pray?
The poor hawkers barely eking out a living, the middle-
class daily passengers-the Bhadralok-gentoo class...
and I read about Aruna, tried to be sympathetic to Pinki
Virani.The same newspapers that publish the 'sensitive'
articles about  the many woes of women today, peddles
shamelessly in the same breath the bodies...in many avatars..
backless, frontless, bottomless..skins, in short.

Binayak Sen:the living martyr

Here is a person who thought differently, acted differently from the other, average, privileged
intelligentsia.He made use of his abilities for the  poor, oppressed people of the
country. And in ways that showed results. He was doing the work that the government
of India is enjoined to do.
But what about our ever-vocal audio-visual media?Why don't we see them taking up cudgels for this man
 worth his salt? We have followed the Jessica Lal case, the Nitish Katara case, Priyadarshini Mattoo
case...the media chased justice,followed up with valuable bites, helped civil society movement. Then why this indifference towards a case that deserves every bit of their attention? Is it because the STORY has no 'personal' angle? It has issues that the Cyber India no longer identifies itself with? Because Tribal India is as far removed from the e-middle class as Mars from Earth? We can see it, but don't give a damn about ?
