I have more often than not criticized the Indian Media,
particularly the English Media for drumming up support for frivolous issues
like the story of racial slur for an muslim ex army major.
More relevant and actually burning issues like Anna and Kejriwal’s
fast against corruption or the turmoil brimming in the NE go under reported. Today most channels particularly the
English ones, have been reporting the comparatively feeble support that Anna’s
fast is getting this time. This conclusion is drawn from the crowds which are not teeming this time, as compared to last time.
The media is projecting this as a failure of “team Anna” or even their
fading lure and popularity. How can this be deemed as failure of team Anna? Anna is fighting against corruption. If support of the people is dwindling, then it
is defeat of the people, it is defeat of the fight against corruption and it is
also a pyrrhic victory for corruption. The latter being usual for an India congenitally (birth in 1947) plagued with chronic corruption.
