Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 1. "Secular" Indian Media and the J&K massacre ------------ 1. "Secular" Indian Media and the J&K massacre The recent attack in J&K was clearly targeted at innocent Kashmiri Pundits. Terrorist's objective was to mass murder the Hindus and they succeeded in that. So let us study the response to this by our "Secular" media. While most of the international media clearly stated "Hindus massacred", our "Secular" media felt ashamed to publish "Hindus" in their titles. Most interesting part of the story is, how much time our "Secular" media gave for this story on Samachar.com? Just few hours? Unbelievebly, most of them removed the link from Samachar in just few hours. Why? Probably our media is "Secular" and anything that is "Hindu" is communal for them. Even death of a Hindu must not be give sufficient coverage, else they may be termed as communal, is it not? Most unfortunate part is: When IndiaCause Maxim Gandhi Bashing campaign was covered by our "Secular" media, they gave more than sufficient time for the story (6 hours to 12 hours). Thus, the kicking of Gandhi image by some stupid Magazine gets more coverage than the cold blooded killings of 24 Hindus in Kashmir? Why is it so??? It's called "Secularism" friends!!!! Can anyone imagine the coverage Indian "Secular" media would have given if the victims were from other communities? Can not believe it, isn't it? See it for yourself. This story is not available on Samachar archive on 23, 24 and 25 March (Except on NDTV). Also note the two days TOP coverage given to "Chicago dances away with six Oscars". What is more important for India? Is it Oscar or the massacre? Samachar 23 March, 24 March, 25 March These poor Hindus did even not find place on the TOP story any time. Here are some interesting titles for the massacre story: International Media: Muslim guerrillas massacre 24 Hindus in Indian Kashmir BBC Gunmen Kill 24 Kashmir Hindus (link not available) CNN Hindu villagers killed in Kashmir ABC 24 Hindus killed in Kashmir Indian "Secular" Media: Titles that briefly appeared on Samachar Sify Militants massacre 24 in Kashmir village (link no more available on Sify. Why?) Times of India Militants massacre 24 in Kashmir Rediff 24 People massacred in Kashmir (they had this special title on Samachar) Deccan Herald 24 massacred in J&K The Hindu Was it listed on Samachar? Hindustan Times Was it listed on Samachar? Our "Secular" Titles perfectly match with Pakistani Newspaper Dawn Pakistan 24 killed in Valley Who was different? It was NDTV. Their Title was : "24 Kashmiri Pandits massacred in south Kashmir". Also their report was on Samachar for nearly for a complete day. Thank god there is someone who found this story worth keeping for several hours on Samachar. We should also thank Indian Express for their generous gesture in the title on Samachar "24 Kashmiri Pandits gunned down". It would be interesting though, to know how many hours they kept this link on Samachar.com. Was is there only for 2 hours? Long Live India and our "Secular" media!!! -------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
