Guest guest Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Why is Western Media always Silent about Anti-Hindu Activities? This topic is worthy of a thesis. I have always wondered as to why the Western media which is always hungry for juicy stories of mayhem, death and scandal is mostly silent when it comes to stories that may invoke sympathy for the Hindus cause. Perhaps it is a blessing that the current crisis regarding the Shankaracharya is not being played up in the West. However, it is common for Westerners to sympathise with an underdog. Veerapan's case was widely reported and everyday the Western media has stories of this or that Muslim cleric being arrested. It may surprise you to know that many Westerners sympathise with Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Not having the perspective of the Islamist's terror against India, they simply see them as struggling radicals fighting the corporate system and American Imperialism. Also the costant presence of Indian Traitors like Arundhati Roy at most anti-establishment gatherings has helped solidify the image that Hindus are in league with America and Israel in their 'Imperialist' campaign to subdue the struggling Muslim 'underdogs.' I know for a fact, that if the average Westerner was ever allowed to see the true record of atrocities committed against Hindus and India's fascistic 'secular' application of its laws towards Hindus, they would be truly shocked. It is an odd phenomenon to see the constant harping by the NYT about the Gujarat riots, yet to my knowledge there has not been one mention of exposes by the key 'witness' in the Best Bakery Case. About a year ago, 2 journalists were charged with crimes against humanity for their incitement in the Rwanda massacres. Recent riots in Assam have been proven to have been incited by disinformation in various Indian publications. Unfounded charges of rape and murder were published as fact and this caused some people towards mayhem. I beleive it is high time India's legal experts begin exposing and charging these journalists for crimes against humanity. It is also imperitave that those forcing witnesses to lie in court must be punished. If miscreants can tweak the law to abuse the system, surely defenders of truth can use the law to defend human rights. So as for America, I am learning more and more that its media is not a true representation of American people and is obviously not a trust worthy source of news.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hi, It is not just arundhati roy,people like praful bidwai,barkha dutt,rajdeep sardesai are all equally guilty of painting a bad image about hindus.The more you bash hindus in media,the more secular you are.It is more of a style statement.Wearing om inscribed lockets means you are a fascist,but wearing a cross on your chain is fashinable and modern.First politicians destroyed india and hinduism,now media is playing a prominent role . vediculture, "vrnparker" <vrnparker> wrote: > > Why is Western Media always Silent about Anti-Hindu Activities? > > This topic is worthy of a thesis.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Jai Ramji Ki! Dear Friends: This is indeed a major problem, perhaps a structural problem. I rephrase the question as, "does the press have the freedom to lie, especially with malicious intent?" Democracy works only when people participate in it. We have, so far, stayed out of the system and only acted as horrified spectators. I propose that we write a strongly-worded petition to the Central Law Minister. Not just an e-mail petition, but an official petition. Regards, Dhruba.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 But do you seriously think its going to work.All newspapers and tv channels have actually disgraced hinduism with their catchy phrases and mocking entire community.There is one thing which will be much more effective.Appeal to corporates not to advertise on those tv channels and newspapers which are anti hindu and spread false propaganda against hinduism.Media is ruled by money and if u hit them there,it will really hurt them.This is the only thing which is going to work. If kanchi seer is proven innocent,the mutt should file a defamation suit against the political parties and media which had accused and thrown lot of muck.
