The media industry in India is very competitive. In order to grab maximum viewer attention TV Channels organise interviews, debates & TV shows on controversial subjects. Some of the popular TV shows are big fight, devils advocate etc. These TV shows are manipulated cleverly by TV channels to grab highest TRP’s. Instead of raising the issues as right vs wrong, the moderator talks on Hindus vs Muslims or Hindus vs Christians. There are invariably some people in the debate and audience who have pathological dislike towards Hindus and openly represent the views of terrorists, evangelists and separatists.
Some of the prominent loonies are:
- Shabana Azmi – is one of the leading actresses of Indian Cinema. Recently in an interview she said that she could not buy a flat in Mumbai due to religious discrimination. She should have gone ahead and named the reason (lack of trust) on why it is happening, rather than blaming the overall society. Almost all the Indian Mujahadin terrorists caught by police are highly educated Muslims. This reflects an inherent problem in their own mindset and not discrimination in society towards minorities.
- John Dayal- is a Christian activist. He quotes the constitution every time on freedom of religion issue. But never raises the issue of discrimination within the Christians & Dalit Christians. The fact is Dalit Christians have segregated churches, cemeteries, services and even processions. Conversion to Christianity does not free Dalits of the bondages of caste system. Today discrimination is a class not birth or caste problem and it can be resolved by change in their economic status.
- Teesta Setalvad – is a Mumbai based civil rights activist. Highly aggressive and talks in such a shrill voice that she even forgets the issue the debate is about. She is a classic case of a person indulging in majority bashing in the name of secularism. Her replies are so crass that even if the debate is on gender equality she raises the issue of Gujarat riots! Her organization Communalism Combat receives funds from the Congress Party & the Communist Party of India.
- Mahesh Bhatt – is a prominent film director, producer and screenwriter. He has had some personal problems with his dad. And he removes all his frustration on Hindus in general and views every Hindu as a fundamentalist. Always taking the so called secular stand, he doesn’t know that the dictionary meaning of the word secularism i.e, ‘not connected with religion’. When you talk about fundamentalism in India you cannot talk in exclusive term, but compare it with the minority rights and privileges in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Israel, Vatican etc.
- Arundhati Roy – is a writer and activist. She is an anti-national roaming around freely. Recently she was in news for advocating freedom for Kashmir. She is unaware about its consequence on the rest of the population of the subcontinent as the devastation will be nothing short of partition. It is very tragic that she chooses to use her intelligence and analytical abilities on unsound, irrational and anti national issues such as condemning USA, Israel and conducting trial by media on issues such as parliament attack and recently the Batla house encounter.
The main problem with such people is that they don’t convince but confuse people. The above loonies don’t realize the harm they are doing to their own community. They don’t take a balanced stand and never mention contentious issues such as partition, persecution of Hindus in Kashmir, Haj subsidies, gross exploitation of Muslim women. All their arguments revolve around Gujarat riots, Babri Masjid, alienation of minorities, constitutional privileges for minorities etc.
They are openly promoting anti Hinduism & anti nationalism in the garb of secularism and democracy.
