Note : The “Stockholm
syndrome” is associated with a
bank robbery case in the town Stockholm in the year 1973. It’s a situation
where the hostages showed sympathy and positive attitude towards their hijacker
The reason I believe Indian media is suffering from the Stockholm
syndrome is, It is showing same sympathetic attitude and advocating for all
those events/people/Idea and action which has the potential to destroy the unity
of India.
I will give 3 examples to prove that Mainstream Indian media
is suffering from this deadly psychological disorder called “Stockholm syndrome” .
(Note : This topics is not so simple. It can not be covered
only in a single page. But I know if i will write a long one then no body will read
it. So i tried to keep it as short as possible.)
1. -------- Lets Start with the famous JNU event:
Some students were gathered for a controversial event. All the
top student union leaders of JNU were present there. The list includes president
of JNU student union leader also.The event starts with very objectionable slogans. To name
the few slogans like,
Bharat Tere tukde honge, ... Tukde honge,tukde honge.
Bhrat ki Barbadi Tak, jung rahegi.... Jung rahegi, Jung
Rahegi.
The list of slogans are goes on...
I did not find any academic intellectual in these slogans. I
don’t believe any country will allow this type of events in its university
campuses. There is nothing freedom about
theses speeches.
After this event, police took action and arrest warrants
were issued against the event organizers.
Now here comes the great Media. Discussion after discussion,
bulletin after bulletin has presented in all mainstream media to project
its organizers as victims of police action. Nonstop coverage had given to its
organizers. How a poor student is suffering from political vendetta. They were
projected as hero and face of freedom of choice.
How can media show this type of attitude and sympathy
towards the people who are advocating for destroy of India?? . The intellectual
writers and journalists are forgot that they are also part of this nation.. If India will destroy what will happen to there 24 hour news channels ?
----Now come to second example to prove my point.
2.
Advocating for Naxalasim :
Former Prime minister Dr Manmohan singh
ones said : Naxalasim is the single most ideology which a threat to the unity
of India. It is like cancer. Slowly, slowly it is eating our country. Total Fourteen thousand people have lost their lives due to naxal violence in last 15 years.
In spite of this, I have never seen a TV
show and never seen a top journalist to criticize naxalisim. Always you will hear
a story like how brutal police forces are to the innocent naxals.
Media will never show how naxalits are
killing innocent tribals just because they suspects as a police informer.
I still dint understand why this one sided sympathy for the
breakers for this nation!!!
---Lets come to 3rd point..
3.
Foreign funded NGOs :The single most groups which are
creating hurdles in the developmental activities in India are the NGOs which are receiving funds from the
foreign donors/nations.
Just for a example :In the Year 2002 Government of India had decided
to install a nuclear plant at “Kudankulam” to generate electricity. But how
come govt can decide without permission of great NGOs and Media. The problem
starts now. Protest, protest and more protest... situation created so that scientists were feared to work there.
This is not a single example.
100s of developmental projects are on hold due to protest by NGOs. These organizations
are using local population against these projects by creating fear in their mind.
But I have never seen any media
for criticizing these NGOs. Instead they are coming to TV shows and giving
talks as if they are some kind of saint..Media should show opposite side of these protests. How devlopment is in stand still due to these NGOs...
I thing i have given my point..
If anyone is having any thoughts about this topic then they can give it.
Critics are most well come.. I Believe positive discussion is healthy for everyone..
