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 ?
