Creation of States in India on linguisting basis a Boon or Bane?
Did we create states for ease of Administration or to group people based on language, caste or race.
It has led to a situation where we talk about insiders and outsiders, why do we forget Nationality and give priority to regionalism, It is still in our memory that few years back Politicians from tamil nadu demanded a seperate country.

Mr Raj, talks about marathi culture not followed by North Indians, and the hypocracy is he had arranged a concert of Michael Jackson in 96, is pop culture a part of Marathi culture? and the party who was in, before starting one goes rampage on valentine day celebrations.

What was Mr Raj Upto, he was just trying to create Cynicism. dis integrating people, and the motive is- strengthening his parties roots. at the cost of violence . And the most disheartening act was the ruling Govt not taking any action on him, and the reason for that is. Mr Raj will gain Political Mileage. The Govt which has to protect Law&Order is afraid of loosing votes to Raj if arrested. Art of Possibe at its best display.

Yes we should be loyal to our region, language .... but Country comes first and National Intrests should never be compromised, I see a lot of double standards by Govts also, for eg- There was no National Hindi News in Tamil Nadu. where Hindi is not accepted at all. and except in cbse schools there is no hindi language at all in Tamil nadu schools.

I read Recently Andhra Govt funding christians for a trip to Jedah. Vote bank politics at its best, wont it set a precedence with people of other Religion, will they do the same if a sikh wanted to visit Ahmedabad, or a buddhist wanted to visit Bodh Gaya.
And all of us Know how Mr Karunanidhi came to power this time around - Sops
TV, Loan cancellations, Free power.

And one of the National party which was in budding stage went rampage in the Name of lord Ram demolishing Mosque, If Ram him self was alive he would have performed Namaz in mosque. that is the principle of lord Ram, but if they were real followers of Ram would they have demolished the mosque. Opportunists, who wanted to create a niche in the name of God.

so for our politicians a simple formula for votes is:

Yellow yellow dirty fellow

I was in yellow group when I was in school and I was often teased by rival groups with the above sentence

I was wondering whether yellow is always associated with dirty things

I am a keen follower of others’ perception on any issue.
So I did the same for Indian cricket teams' tour down under, I was going thro a cricket column in an online Australian News paper, where i came across a word called Yellow journalism.
I was keen to know what it meant, after searching for the meaning and its origin.

For those who don’t know the meaning of yellow journalisn like me:

Yellow journalism is a pejorative reference to journalism that features scandal-mongering, sensationalism, or other unethical or unprofessional practices by news media organizations or journalists. It has been loosely defined as "not quite libel".

Well after reading this. With little introspection. It created a doubt in my mind about our Indian Media, Especially Electronic media. Where they sensationalize every small issue

One of the News channels was already flashing on the screen Sachin breaks 90’s jinx scores 38th century; well he was still on 96.

With lots of competition and driven by TRP ratings these channels instead of doing a balance of positive and negative journalism, they focus on spicing up the news hour focusing on scandals.

Its pity to see these channels cover second by second updates of a celebrity marriage procession . The same channel cover a Celebrity actor criminal’s journey from his residence to court halls. And the same channel tries to create public sympathy by focusing on his good work.

One news channel though flashes news from CPM head quarters faster than any news channel, the chief editor n who is also co-owner of the net work is co-brother of Gen Sec (CPM).

Yes there is a Revolution in some cases like Manjunath, Jessica lal…. Its done a tremendous Job.

But my point is in pursuit of success in short time. These people are becoming Unprofessional. They are forgetting ethics.

Most of the journalists tend to take sides when it comes to National Issues like the one in Sydney cricket, even Australian journalists as well as Indian journalists, all Indian journalists were vying for bucknor’s ouster, but he is the sachin tendulkar of umpiring or brain Lara of umpiring . When I look back now I fell we all over reacted n all of us acted like kids. So was Aus journalists after perth victory.

And the design of life is we all tend to forget Neutrality and take sides depending on our perception. But who are journalists , but instead of being a Messenger, they are impounding their views on viewers. Are they doing a professional job, I am not convinced.
