WHAT ABOUT DUPLICITY OF TV CHANNELS?

The Indian media which has become a law unto themselves could sooner demand that the fanatical Shahi Imams Syed Abdullah Bukhari be made the President of India and his son Ahmed be made the next Prime Minister. So what if they have over a dozen each of non-bailable offenses for sedition and contempt of court cases against each of them which no government dared to serve on them so far. After all, they have a much cleaner image than multiple murderers like Union Minister Taslimuddin of the RJD or Shahabuddin of RJD who is a permanent resident of Siwan jail and mentor of Lalu Yadav who wants to give him a ticket for this Lok Sabha election. Of course, there are many more such worthy candidates to choose from starting from Kerala (Madani), Tamil Nadu, Kashmir (Sajjad Lone), UP and Bihar with well established track records. Difficult choice for these guys, if you know what I mean. But such news won't.

What will make it as news are only anti-BJP and anti-Hindu activities that make it to our TV channels these days. In a way it is good for both the BJP and the Hindus as it will ensure that they are kept alert, vibrant and improve every day whereas the others will be lulled into sleep of complacence and end up diseased and fall by the wayside. That is why despite thousands of years of its existence Hinduism is still alive and relevant even in the 21 st Century as it keeps pace with the current times effortlessly which others fail to do or go into oblivion due to their inbuilt rigidities especially if they are revealed religions. The inability to cope with the change in a modern and ever changing world is another drawback they face. In fact, the central message of the Gita is that "change is the only constant." The proof lies in Hinduism’s ability to discard centuries old redundant practices and adopt new ones through a constant churning through debate and inquiry without the fear of irrelevance that adversely affect those who are strictly code bound to adhere to unchanging rules fixed centuries ago and out of sync with today’s realities.

We must understand that the author of a piece of pure fiction is none but Abdul Nasser Madani of the People's Democratic Party of Kerala which many consider to be a terrorist organisation. It may have been typed by a sympathetic LDF activist as Madani may be English illiterate but make no mistake that Madani is the original author. If the Maliyali Hindus have not learnt any lessons for so long under alternating LDF and UDF regimes when will they ever do so? Are they waiting for another Mopla uprising to wake them up?
