Sir,
Thank you for an insightful, liberal and by far the most complete debate on the “Events targeting North-Indians in Mumbai” today (Sun, 10-Feb-2008).
I have been seeing some rather disturbing reporting by north-regional channels (SP Influenced– Sahara, Sensationalist – Aaj Tak, India 24x7, India TV and surprisingly IBN7) and also the times group in Mumbai (Mumbai Mirror).
Is there no accountability left in journalism, and why isn’t anyone questioning the strong northern (one person / group only) influence on the above mentioned channels? Why isn’t anyone questioning the rights of such regionally-focused & biased reporting under the guise of “National TV”?
Please carry on with the quality of reporting and the debates, because your channel is the only hope for liberal minds of our country.
Lastly, I just wish to register my thoughts on the agitation started by MNS, its’ aptly described as “Gutter Politics”, especially after hearing the spokesperson go on every channel in a futile attempt to spread the hatred. I am convinced that, even if Mumbai was comprised of 80%-90% Maharashtrians, these same parties would have made caste / creed as the agenda, and we would have had equal violence under the guise of agitation.
I also wish to appeal to you, to cut-down on MNS, SP, Amar Singh & Raj Thackeray (What's their contribution to India?) related news, Hate Politics needs to be nipped in the bud, and instead, we are providing a breeding ground for the same.
Let’s vow that only Gujarat remains an exception.
