The Media and its freedom:

Subhas Mitra: 11 Jan 2020 /Jun 2022

To know India, explore West Bengal, to know Hinduism, explore Tamil Sages, and to know the world explore India. In the same very India, if you ask “Google Pundit” about anything you will discover “things are done by or brought by some invaders at some given time. 

 India’s first News Paper was James Augustus Hicky’s Bengal Gazette in 1779.

Media is a medium of conveying a “message “or passing on information and communicates to the masses as the watchdog of public interest. It must ensure freedom of expression, unfettered and unhindered by any authority, organized bodies, or individuals.

Indian root:

Theoretically, the Abrahamic word’s first messenger was Moses who was also given the responsibility of implementation. But we had “Narad Muni” who had no authority to implement anything but had the responsibility to “Alert” both Giver and Receiver of information without any personal involvement or interest. 

The same Celestial system worked on the mundane word by rulers through दूत (messenger/ ambassador) or उद्घोषक (public announcers). Even before the development of alphabets or formal writing systems announcers were used not only as a massager but as informers and conscious keepers by narrating various stories, and epics through song, drama, exhibition, etc. As the modern system developed our ancient system moved to areas where modern media did not reach and the practices are still throbbing.  

Did the Bengal Gazette come to promote public interest? Did the owner or the Govt. of the day have no multifarious interest in it?

 What about today? A country having 2858 registered political parties with 8 national and 2797 unregistered parties (Sep, 2021-ECI) can have a free and responsible ‘media’ without any “angulifiing” (intentional interference) and owner’s wealth creation prospect?

We have 1, 10,851 registered publications in India as of 31 March 2016. There are currently 900 permitted private satellite television channels in India as of February 2021.

Serving media services is the job of highly professional and usually trained and molded by institutions run by media house owners and curriculums designed by professionals. Should we think they are training NARAD MUNI for us?

A layman’s history of media business in India;

Journalism and media business is introduced by Christian missionaries’ through European rulers in India in the English language. First Vernacular was Kannada Samachar by an Individual padre (priest) in 1818. The second was Ananda Bazar Patrica in Bangla from Jessore (now in Bangladesh) in 1876 by Tushar Kanti Ghose and an English daily ‘The Tribune’ from Chandigarh by Maharaja Dyal Singh Majithia, the founder of Punjab National Bank in 1881.  

The so-called nationalist newspaper The Pioneer was founded by George Allen in 1865 from Prayagraj. Rudyard Kipling, author of “The White Man’s Burden” (1899) which calls upon white colonial power to educate white supremacy to non-white in their colonies was associated with this newspaper.

Do we need to know more ‘about why Indian media behaves the way they do’?

Industrial liberalization of India;

With the 1990s liberalization, and DTH policy, our media is no longer a national platform but an International one.

 What is international?

 It is what our former colonial master’s world is.  Entire Asia, Africa, and Russia do not matter as much as those 12% people our former BAHGYA VIDHATA matters. We can be called gentlemen only when we learn to dance well to their music. We produce the highest number of movies and music albums in the world but the highest awards and prestigious events belong to that 12%. We always need their citation and media to bring the world to us in that way.

International media Tycoons:

NARAD MUNI went on VRS in the 1990s handing over responsibility to NARAKASUR (business tycoons). One may see a movie New Delhi Times acted by Shashi Kapur, and Begum Sharmila Tagore.

Let us see the tycoons.

Times, a weekly magazine was founded by Henry Luce and runs in NYC since March 3, 1923. Rupert Murdoch moves to NY and starts taking it over. New York Times runs from 1835.  Like Henry Luce, Rupert too was a journalist but not by education but by inheritance. His father was a journalist who ran a publication as a family business. He conquered Australian publications and moved to NY in 1974 and started buying publication houses.

When his father was a Narad Muni, straggling to establish his loss-making family business, Times of India (entered India Nov 1838) was doing excellent business with Church’s help to spread English among native’s rich kids of English Madrassa. Today you can see seminude women’s image on its supplement to woo those kids.

Some nationalists, on the other hand, started publication with the British to further British causes in vernacular in Kolkata but soon the exploitation was felt and contra voices started surfacing. It so happened that many who could not find a place to express their opinions in MEDIA started publication with their own money and circulated free of cost (definitely non-sustainable projects).

Murdoch enters India perhaps to destroy Deshi houses like Sri Adhikari Bros; purchased ABP group of Kolkata whose birth was to promote nationalism, and today it is on the other side and regularly denigrates Hinduism. Right now they appear to be on a hidden mission to promote parochial Bengali separatism under the garb of Bengali (sub) Nationalism.

With such a background our nationalists cannot even imagine how a journalist becomes the richest man (after wall mart owner) in 1992/3. When some native business houses were attempting to enter the media business there was a rush of international AWARDs on Indian Journalists, pen pushers, authors, and opinion-makers.

Awards and Rewards:

There is a Bangla proverb – “where physical torture is not possible keep the victim starved” (হাতে না মেরে ভাতে মারা). They manufactured raw materials (Journalists of their choice) with new branding by awards along with rewards.

  What was hidden agenda is now in 2022 become open like the recent Journalist appointment advertisement from NYT that clearly states needed Indian anti-establishment and anti-Modi journalist ( Ref: WION TV). This NYT showed COVID death in India only of HINDU Cremation excesses. We also know George Soros’s 3 billion US$ fund to remove Modi.

But first, let us see how I saw it in 2019.

The Booker Prize for Fiction, formerly known as the Booker–McConnell Prize (1969–2001) and the Man Booker Prize (2002–2019), is a literary prize awarded each year for the best original novel written in the English language and published in the United Kingdom. I may be wrong to suggest that English writers with Hindu names able to denigrate Hinduism or reflect India in poor light might have made a place in the preferential list.

Pulitzer: József Pulitzer, Hungarian origin New Yorker publisher Known for being the founder of “Yellow Journalism” along with William Randolph Hearst’s New York Journal of journalism in 1937.  Which won over readers with sensationalism, sex, crime, and graphic horrors (may be semi-nude also). (Both were competitors but for money, they compromised). Columbia School of Journalism is founded by him – it is understandable how media has become an industry. (I am sure we have many English Journo trained from there).

This prize’s greatest GIFT to India is Sussen Arundhati Roy, sister of Pakistan’s most favorite Indian journalist Catholic Pronoy Roy, brother-in-law of Communist Brinda Karat. A deadly combination indeed.

The other awards:

Dynamite inventor award:

There is no Nobel for the economy but something can be ” given” selectively to chosen ones to decorate and send them to the developing world to ensure they keep that country dependent on the developed world forever.

Trade unionist Lech Walesa could be made elected president through a peace award

European origin Nun made so much peace in India which no Nun or priest could do in Africa, Latin America where Christians died without food, shelter or treatment during the 1980s to till dates but none got Nobel for “service to humanity”.

One US President got Nobel within a couple of months for what many do not know even today.

One Nobel award dismantled USSR to end the cold war.

Roman Magsaysay:   (.  August 31, 1907 – March 17, 1957)

It is run by Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) an industrial, political, and bankers of the USA who made fortune from Oil (said to be the godfather of OPEC) in the name of one of the Presidents of the Philippines, a country that had Sanskrit/ Mederin name till 1542 when Spanish conquer and transformed to Christianity in 30 + years. It stations the biggest US military Clerk Base (1918- 1949) in Asia. I know TWO awardees from India. 1. A Journo Purchased a villa at 56 Crore in Delhi within 15 years of service and 2. Got it, perhaps,  for praising/depending  Tabliqi Jamat during COVID19 spitting and vomiting in public places. 

Ford Foundation:

 Formed in 1936 by Edsel & Henry Ford. By 1974 it sells Ford Motors. Currently the wealthiest Fund by the wealthiest people with no connection to Ford Motors. This foundation also promoted the AAP party by a Magsaysay awardee. How much they LOVE us. Pakistan collected FUND for AAP during their first election in Delhi and Bihar. (Ref: The dawn Karachi) 

We know the philanthropy of Bill Gates who is now an IMMUNISATION specialist. He and Saudi Automobile tycoon Abdul Jameel, and an Indian Nobel laureate ran Vaccination in India.

Now one can understand how an unknown Muslim girl becomes a Nobel laureate (for what?) and a Hindu too joined along though his neighbors never knew he did something so great by securing orphans for some Orgs.

I do not know if those 12 families belonging to 12% of people are running the global show.

What is a deadly combination in the Media industry? (সোনায় সোহাগা)

On Honey Moon, what the couple does behind the closed door, both parents pretend as if they do not know.   The media too be having such a mass honeymoon with all stakeholders and Church, Ummah, and communism. It is politicians who might be making all arrangements for their “pound of flesh” which owners may not share.

Communism Church relation in India:

Christian communism is a form of religious communism based on Christianity. Although there is no universal agreement on the exact date when Christian communism was founded, many Christian communists assert that evidence from the Bible (in the Acts of the Apostles)[1] suggests that the first Christians, including the apostles, established their small communist society in the years following Jesus’ death and resurrection. (Wiki)

Muslim Communism relation in India:

The Khilafat movement contributed to the emergence of early Indian communism. Many Indian Muslims left India to join the defense of the Caliphate. Several of them became communists whilst visiting Soviet territory. Some Hindus also joined the Muslim muhajirs in their travels to the Soviet areas. (Wiki) 

It becomes clear why Congress +Church and Communists +Ummah became the protector, propagator, and guardian of SECULARISM, Liberalism, and pluralism in post-British India. Media become DEV GURU (eternal guidance of those ‘ISM’s for communal, superstitious, heathen and kafir 80% citizen called Hindus.

Whenever a crime is done and the media does not take the name of the criminal you understand who they are but if a Hindu, they tell his name, caste, sub-caste, political affiliation, and address with the photograph. 

Here is a brief list of incidences that did not damage those isms but “Jai Sri Ram” did. Many of these did not create even a ripple in media.

1. In Winter 1980, a Convert named Rangkhal killed about 400 Hindus in Tripura in a night but secularism was not in Khatra / danger. Indira Gandhi joined TUJA as an electoral partner.

2. Graham Stuart Staines was doing a “great job” in Orissa tribal, since 1965 because there was no problem in Australia. You may Google to know what The Stolen Generation for Aboriginal children means, to understand why Dara Singh killed him on 23 Jan 1999.  PM AB Vajpayee. Secularism erupted nationwide and internationally by communists and congress.

3. Major issues in Kandhamal, Orisa, included the forcible occupation of tribal land, and the illegal building of churches, forced conversion that resulted in civil unrest and communal tensions in 1986, 1994, and 2001. Swami Lakshmanananda who addressed all such issues was murdered on 23 August 2008 by a conspiracy hastened by  Radhakanta Nayak ( congress leader) and Jacob Pradhan, both converted Christian.  PM (Sonia Gandhi) face: Manmohan Singh.  Secularism did not erupt the way it did in 1999. 

4. Rs. 17,270 Cr. The nuclear power plant in Kudankulam, TN:  wiki says Role of Church:  The Church of South India and the National Council of Churches opposed the power plant and supported the protests against it. Supporters of the power plant and the government have alleged that the protest against the power plant was instigated by churches and funded by foreign sources. Secularism did not erupt.

5. I have written enough on Mother Teresa‘s healing touch and Bolivian dictator Baby Doc’s relation but Communists find nothing wrong or superstitious.

1. Calcutta Killing and Noakhali did not bother communists. Secularism was safe.

 2. First Muslim Home Minister allowed the massacring of Hindus of Kashmir and secularism was safe. The rest of India did not know. Free media worked?

3. Dozens of Hindus were killed in Kerala by Muslims and LF Govt. did not find anything wrong with secularism/media.

4. For 3 days after the Train burning in Godhra, secularism was intact but erupted after the retaliation look effect.  A Hindu minister brought another Hindu judge® to prove that Hindus inside the train committed suicide to kill Muslims. The truth was revealed by Pakistani intellectuals on Canadian TV channels.

5. Vijayendra Saraswati Swamigal was framed for negotiating with eminent Muslim clerics for consensus construction of The Ram Mandir, he was projected as a criminal as breaking news for months but when Supreme Court absolved the case, the media never reported it.

Egalitarian & proletarian Intellectualism seems false rhetoric and musk to hide their fifth columnists status to ruin/destroy Hindu and Hindustan from within and media is their extrajudicial protector.

Having control over media is as good as having control over the public psyche and manipulating public opinion.
