Crony nationalism is a malignant phenomenon here. The media
sells 3rd world people 3rd world aspirations. It is
nauseating to see the belittlement of the subscriber’s intelligence. Perhaps
they hope that by saying the same thing hundred times over, everybody will
start believing and imbibing it. And they have been successful in isolating the
marginalized community called the Intelligent.
The Intelligent no longer watches TV shows. He no longer
responds or participates in a democratic discussion since every valid argument
he raises will be met with a response that goes ‘Your mother is a whore’,
cheered on by thousands in front of and behind the tele-screen.
I’d blame Ekta Kapoor and her like for the sad plight the
country’s Television News houses are in. If only she could have dished out A-grade soap-opers would the News TVs be not left to do her job.
The country needs a slew of quality Television series for
integrated development. I suggest somebody include that in their manifesto.
