Media - Elite Nexus

For the last few days the news around Mr. Ramdev’s declared fast to fight against corruption has gathered so much of attention that you switch to any so called News Channel you will see some coverage.
I have been watching this for last few days and interesting this episode has highlighted the rotten soles of few people who use so much of artificial perfume to suppress the stinking smell that otherwise would come straight from their rotten soles.
I have noticed how few people are trying to change the discourse of the discussion from the issue of corruption and governance to the anatomy of individual’s character. I am not a supporter of Mr Ramdev, rather I have several reservations against his approach, however I believe his declared fight against corruption can’t be and rather should not be looked through the assembly of character surgery equipments.
I saw someone speaking on CNN – IBN, about the accumulation of wealth by Mr Ramdev. According to the lady speaker, he has acquired wealth worth 11,000 crore in last 5 years, which, she is sure, comes from Hawala. I saw Mr Janta party president speaking “here is a Baba comes by his personal Jet”. There are many comments – mostly English speaking class – you can hear on the so called news channels primarily CNN – IBN.
I do not want to defend Mr Ramdev simply because I have no facts at hands to defend him. The points I am trying to highlight is the rotten scheme of things, which is like a nexus where media is a conniving party.
Let me help you understand my point. A war broke out between India and any other country in 2016. The war has come to point where India needs to use its newly acquired fighter jets worth over US$ 12 billion. Suddenly a “major activist” finds out that these jets were acquired by giving billions as commissions to few top brasses of military and the government. Now some are demanding that first have thorough investigation of the arms deal before applying the jets.
Let’s think this from another angle a sex worker from Delhi is contesting in assembly election against a persona with criminal background. Will you vote for the criminal against the sex worker if the criminal says that his opponent is a sex worker.
The point is who the hell these so called so called pseudo intellectuals are “a guy who is in every debate”, “a super model lady who comments on everything”. Someone on NDTV told that Ramdev does not represent civil society.
Hell with this civil society! I am from a small town – I don’t know what the hell this civil society is. I and 90% of my small town friends do not give a damn to English Speaking civil society. What we care is ‘right cause” no matter who brings it up.
Media is sold – sold to the advertisers – who are sold to politicians!
Rather than discussing the right issue they are discussing – “where did baba get money from”, “how is he spending money”, “whether he is teaching right yoga practices”!
Holy crap! Set up CBI enquiry for all these but for God’s sake do not highjack the issue. We in small towns – vernacular language people- feel the pain of corruption more than you all sitting in the TV studio and speaking in English. Please do not sabotage this issue of nationa importance. We small town people do not give damn to these so called pseudo activists, who talk big without doing anything.
