INDIA MEDIA CENTER

IMC recently organised a seminar on INFLATION in delhi.Mr.Badrinath,senior journalist from one of the prestigious business daily presented his views over the subject .Mr. Badri highlighed the issue of inflation & causes of it -metal,currency,energy specially petrol,foodgrains.

He also pointed out that indian newspapers are unnecessarily worring a lot about it,in many countries inflation rates are much higher for e.g 25% in Iran,40% in Burma etc.He further pointed that the effect of inflation come into surface in retail price market after 12 weeks i.e 3 months. Inflation reflect the prices of wholesale market.The irony is that many educated masses does not know these pity things including me. Media is also great, it just know how to keep on shouting without knowing anything in detail & effect of any news.
IMC made an effort to bring these issues in picture , pramote some serious journalism and brushingup the sharp skill of journalists.Shivaji Sarkar,Akshay Kumar,Suresh(GS of IMC),advocate Aruneshwar & other media personalities were present on the occassion.

THE EDUCATED& ELITE FACE OF CRIME

Why this happen that whenever there is a news that some educated & elite class has mudered somebody or committed some crime ,we educated middle class try our best not to believe the story.But as soon as any raw,uneducated person enter the senario we just jump to the conclusion that oh! this guy must have commmited the crime.
Take either the case of noida's Mohinder Singh Pandher CBI has not chargesheeted him till now.But Surender is the accused in the case.Even in AARUSI muder case our biasness is evident that we don't want to believe that doctor parents can be accused.But believe me as soon as the KRISHNA , the home aid come to the picture everybody will now somewhere will be relieved to know that the culprit is a uneducated & low class people. Somewhere our class biasness make us believe that middle class people cann't do such type of crime.Although we forget that crime is something related with human nature .Class only determine the modus operandi.Even higher class educated mass still consider women as a sex objective , but their way of passing the message is quite sophisticated than their raw counter part.

ME, TUI ,RIA.........

What is the common thread between me & Tui is the fact that I am a BIHARI but born & brought up in KOLKATA(BENGAL) & Tui is a BONG but born & brought up in BHAGALPUR(BIHAR).So when I met her in delhi saw her speaking bengali ,the bengal inside me make me friendly toward her.She might also felt the same way.Hey , but don't think that things get stop over here, the similarity between us is that we both believe in individuality of women.Thats bonds us together.Tui,Ria(her friend now mine too) ,Ankita,Rashmi ......so many girls now represents the gen-next-Y breed of women who are entering the LAW field ,once the male dominated place now gearing up for women also.These girls are going to change the face of legal environment of our country I strongly believe so .Now we can have more KAMINI JAISWAL, INDIRA JAI SINGH for the cause of women , humanity.

THE TIGER TEMPLE

The Tiger Temple or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua is a Theravada Buddhist temple in Thailand and has been a sanctuary for many endangered animals including several tigers that walk around freely once a day and can be petted by tourists. The temple received several tiger cubs where the mothers had been killed by poachers. As of 2007, over 21 cubs have been born at the temple and the total number of tigers is about 12 adult tigers and 4 cubs.
The tigers are tamed by being fed with cooked meat to avoid giving them a taste for blood. The staff keep the tigers under control and the abbot will intervene if the tiger gets agitated. They are treated as family members in the temple and visitors are asked to give a donation if they want to take photos with the tigers.

MUDER OF SOCIAL ACTIVIST LALIT MEHTA

The way LALIT MEHTA was brutlly mudered in palamu and media coverage being just reduced to shouting on government and govt.official's face saving measure to pass on the bucks to Prof Jean Dreze is quite alarming for the justice seeking people.Lalit Mehta was also like any other indian citizen ordinary and special like any VIPs but his work made him extra ordinary .He was seeking the justice for poor and devoted his life like mahatma gandhi to seek the truth and for the upliftment of poor & villegers.But few handfull people who wanted to control the money and power in the area have killed him.We organised lots of fuction in the name of mahatma every year on his birth and death anniversary & spend lot of money on it.But when a person has choosen to live a life on the philoshopy of mahatma then this was his end.Its shows thatINDIANS WANT GANDHI ONLY ON STATUE AND SEMINARS NOT IN REAL LIFE.One must know that when Metha's dead body was found his both the eyes were dogded out,belt near his neck,many injuries on his body by stone.It shows that how brutally he was mudered.The problem lies with the netas and govt officers are that if NREGA will be criticised it will reflect their failiure and money will stop coming to them .So both neta and sarkari baboo chosen to criticised the Prof J.Dreze and cover up the muder of Lalit Mehta for their own shake not for the shake of justice.

delhi diary (ii)

Hey friends,as i promised you that i will be back with that street girl's story when my AATMA will ask me to find out about her.Yesterday my aatma told ,no compelled me to find out about her. So i phoned the foreigner lady to know about her.The lady told me that the girl was fraud ,the police was correct.So the police has released the girl and she has gone back to her family.And for that police has taken the signature of the lady and her husband & ngo has no role to play as the case was fraud.
Next i paid a visit to the police in south-x ,the police told me that they have tooked the girl to new delhi railway station jopadpatty where her grandmother was present and they realesed the girl to her.Doing all these the whole crowd got assembled. Accourding to the police they belong to the bangladesh and in oder to have their livelihood they are doing all these things.One day they go somewhere for begging (chitting, as i consider it) and another day they go somewhere else.
THE QUESTION ARISE HOW SUCH A LITTILE GIRL BE ABLE TO WELL VERSE WITH THE ROAD SENSE OF DELHI THAT SHE KEEPS HOPPING FROM HERE TO THERE EASILY THAT WITHOUT ANY HELP?
NOW after hearing this bangladeshi issue BJP may get into action ,they might say remove this bangladeshis from here.CONGRESS may say no they are not bangladeshis.They can have a great fight togather but in between this girl is loosing her childhood and a decent life.IS THE QUESTION OF A NATIONALITY IS SO IMPORTANT THAT A CHILD CANN'T ASK A DECENT LIFE FROM US? DELHI GOVT WHEN BOOST THEMSELVES FOR GOOD LIFESTYLE AND MALL CULTURE HERE I FELL THE EDUCATION COST FOR THESE SORT OF GIRLS ARE VERY LESS IN COMPARISION TO GOVT'S TANTRAMS, BUT THE RETURNS ARE VERY HIGH .WE WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE OUR WORLD AN EDUCATED CITIZEN WHO WILL KNOW NO BOUNDRIES ONLY LOVE AND CARE & I WILL RESPECT IT IN RETURN.BYE FOR NOW....

(UN)CIVILIZED DELHI POLICE

5th june,2008 .While i was passing by bus from INA MARKET i saw suddenly on footpath a drunken man was lying and a policman(of hawaldar rank) was talking to him.Suddenly i saw this hawaldar raised the faced of the drunked man by putting his foot having shoes on it under his chin. I just got horrified MY GOD AM I WATCHING A HINDI MOVIE or a real life scene in delhi.If this is the situation in delhi than what might be the situation in other part of the India.The more horrified scence was that no one was saying anything to the hawaldar.If this is the situation of the people in democracy then we have to think about the situation of democracy.It raises the question of having institution like HUMAN RIGHT COMMISSION,MINISTRY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE ETC.ETC.I do believe that it is not possible for all the institutions representatives to be every where, but at least their fear should be in the mind of criminals or who are braking the law and general masses should be aware of all these things.I am sure if all the people out there were protested about the incidence the hawaldar must not dare to do that thing.
Now you will ask me why i have not interfared in the whole thing.Then let me tell you before i could realise anything my bus has passed by there and from running bus at around 8.30pm i was not abke to get down .So i request people out there with resources and time please do somthing for it urgently.Becoz in democracy we should work together.
in a strong democracy in order to work it efficiently we require other instituions to be strong and work efficiently- this is not my words these are the view of MR. ARVIND VERMA EX-IPS OF BIHAR CADER NOW THE PROF. OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN INDIANA UNIVERSITY,USA.Mr. Verma has resigned from the IPS in order to pursue his dream.Now he has joined the hands of Dr. Kiran Bedi's ngo SAFER INDIA to serve the country.
In my next posting i will give you the excerpts of the interview of DR. VERMA.Till then bye......

WHY AARUSI ONLY?

Indian media is totally obssesed with aarusi and hemraj muder case as if this is the only muder case happened in india recently.I am not an insensitive person who can close her eye on the brutal muder of a small girl. But the question arise recently in delhi at ESI HOSPITALA A YOUNG LADY DOCTOR WAS BRUTALLY RAPED AND BEING MUDERED.WHO HAS RAISED SO MUCH VOICES AGAINST THIS HENIOUS CRIME? Actually media is failling now a days in raising the issue in totality of CRIME AGAINST WOMEN OR OTHER ISSUES .Whenever any such incidence is happening media choose one issue in isolation and keep on debating till people get frustrated of it or they themselve.
We fail in doing the followup cases like Khairlangee case etc, numrous muder,molestation,kidnapping,othercrime cases happening in India daily.Where is the case of LADY PARADING IN TWO PIECES OUT OF FRUSTRATION IN RAJSTHAN GET LOST.DOES WE COME WITH ANY NEW CASE WHICH HELP IN GETTING A PERSON JUSTICE.Previously when one house used to come up with a story the another house was working on another story ,the competition was like that. Now it is like all of them are working in the same story togather.Though it help them to deliver and people get obssesed with a single story and TRP get good attention.Every one seems to be happy and media feel that it has done a great job in helping someone to get a justice. But the reality is that does one priyadarsani matoo ,one jasica lal case ,one nitish katara case is very little fraction of the case which are waiting in que to get justice.THE REAL QUESTION IS DOES THESE CASES HELP IN CREATING THE FEAR IN THE MIND OF THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY WITH THE LAW OR DOES IT GIVE THEM THE FEELING THAT YOU BUSY WITH FEW CASES I KEEP ON DOING MY JOB(CRIME).MEDIA HAS TO THINK IN THIS REGARD WHEATER TO BE OBSSESED WITH ONE OR TWO TOPIC OR SERVE THE ISSUE IN TOTALITY.THANKS.

CARBON CREATION AND DELHI GOVENMENTS' ADVERTISEMENT

Dear friend ,our govt. be it delhi or anyother ministries are always concered with the development through advertisements.Had it been be possible for them to change the situation of INDIA through advertisements in newspaper and media they would have done it quite a long before.
The latest example is DELHI GOVERNMENT ADVERTISEMENT ON ENVIRONMENT. The message in the advertisement is quite beautifully written that please put the fallen leaves from the trees into soil, it will create natural resources and by not burning the leaves we will be able to reduce the carbon creation.
But anyone can see around the delhi or central government office compound or along the road side that the falled leaves are collected and made to fire.If government or ministries instead of spending huge money on advertisements spend it on training the people and directly put these people into action to save the carbon creation then two thing will happen 1)many unemployed unskilled people will get a job and 2) carbon cereation will be put under check directly.
BUT WHO LISTEN TO ALL THESE. EASY WAY TO PLEASE MEDIA HOUSES IS TO GIVE THEM GOVERNMENT OR MINISTIRIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. EASY DEMOCRACY.

BJP'S VICTORY CELEBRATION VS INDIAN DEMOCRACY,POLITICS

BJP'S victory in Karnata causes a celebration in Delhi within one or two day the party worker(so called, i love to name them like this) arranged the banner,jhandas etc. at huge amount near Parliament Street in Delhi.The question arises : how does& at what speed these "party workers" are able to arrange these things shows that Indians have lot of energy and money too.But only when the celebration is of political nature.Suppose if any one whould have asked these people that please arrange the money or books,pencils for the poor children's educations,would they have been able to work at such a huge speed?
I am not blaming BJP alone, the same is the case with CONGRESS,BSP & OTHER PARTIES also.When CONGRESS wanted to have TALKATORA STADIUM they got it inspite of it being closed for the restructuring for the COMMONWEALTH GAME 2010 & the amount being spended on the beautification of the stage with flowers was also very huge.Question again arises who funded them? Who work behind them? Does we Indian spend money only for the politician or political parties who can help them to get something or for image boosting purpose in public they are spending money on these issue? Now-a-days we lack people with the political commitment and social commitment which resulted into criminalisation of politics.Then at the end of the day we curse the politicians only.Does we do anything to stop all these?
Both the people and the party is required to work on it and decide what to do about it otherwise a vicious cycle will arise "to please the powerfull and affulents and use the unprivileged one as a prop for social services". The democracy will then get confined to only few people rather than serving the large masses.PLEASE DO SOMETHING BECAUSE WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
