Why Indian Media Is Mostly Negative?

Media men in general are bent upon maligning the image of BJP led government and negating and diluting the good  effects of  good works done by new government led by Mr. Narendra Modi though it is internationally and domestically accepted by a large section of people that there is positive change in the system, honest efforts are being made by the government in the direction of growth and good governance and further continuous efforts are in progress to improve the efficiency of the administrative and legal machineries and in  reducing  the level of corruption in functioning of the government departments and offices.

Farmers may be in general happy but media men will search out a few instances of farmer suicides and try to prove that farmers are committing suicide because of inefficiency of the government. Farmer may commit suicide due to several other reasons like family dispute, continuous sickness, loss due to natural calamities, love affairs of children, land dispute among family members and so on.

Similarly if a few farmers commit suicide due to their inability to repay bank loan availed by them for farming or for some other reasons,media men will collect information of some such farmers and frame a story of exploitation of farmers by bankers and advocate write off of loans of all farmers. It may be possible that farmer failed to take proper care of farming or due to weather attack or bad weather or worm attack he failed to produce food grain as per his expectation and incurred loss due to his failure. Farmer could have  failed to repay bank loan due to bad soil or due to wrong fertilizer he used or due to wrong pesticide he sprinkled. It  will be injustice to create a fear and terrorise all farmers by giving wrong news on any incident . It will be greater injustice to common men if good attempt made by any government is forced  opt for  miscarriage.

Causes of failure may differ from farmer to farmer but media men will cleverly generalize the stray cases of failures. Media men will generalize such stray instances of negligence and frame story in such a way that farmers are neglected by the government, banks and insurance companies . This negative attitude of media men malign good efforts taken by the government for increasing farm produce and for improving the economic condition of farmers.

Many farmers have grown millionaire and billionaire under the same government and same policies, but media men will not cite such good stories if they are bent upon portraying wrong picture of the government and bent upon disturbing social harmony. It is media men who provide continuous coverage to protest rally organised by disgruntled politicians who are neither well wisher of farmers , nor care taker of country's growth . Such selfish politicians want to regain power somehow or the other and dethrone Modi government by hook or by crook.

Similarly when a student commit suicide due to his failure in examination , media men will collect some some such sad and failed students, frame story of overload on students and portray picture of students in such a way as if schools and colleges are exploiting students and school authorities are responsible for suicide committed by students. When same story is shown on TV hundred times , audience is constrained to believe that schools and colleges are on wrong path.Students do not read properly and may himself be responsible for his failure , but media men who are bent upon making an episode to sensitize students and guardian and thus get higher TRP. 


Media men will always try to make mountain of mole hill , it may be case of farmer or student suicide or it may b case of suicide by bank loan defaulter or Income tax defaulters.

Media men will not say the real cause of any shortcomings or deficiencies  of the system but more often than not try to point out their accusing fingers towards people and policy which they or their promoters want . Whims and fancies of media men prevail upon in all such cases of failure and media men try to introduce their conclusive and exclusive ideas in the mouth of those who attend the TV interview.

Similarly media men collect a few cases of rape of Christian girl and depict a picture or produce an TV episode to prove as if Christian community is attacked by majority community. Thousands of Hindu girls are raped every year, it does not shake the mind of media men , but media men get a Masala if a girl of minority community is raped or murdered . Media men are clever and well versed in framing story which may force audience to believe as if Minority community is not safe in India.

It is none other than media men who provide such Masala to defeated members of Opposition parties and thus ignite fire all over the country and malign the image of the country in International community. It is media men who maligned Mr. Narendra Modi for a decade and more despite the fact that non of court found him guilty in any case. In 1984 Sikh riot case , thousands of Sikhs were looted and killed by irritated members of Congress Party , but media men who were blind supporters of Congress Party and who are blind opponents of BJP will always try to focus on Gujarat riots only. They forget Godhra Train incident which result in riot but concentrate on killings in riot and that of minority community to portray a picture which hold Mr. Modi directly responsible for anger of people of Gujarat against heinous  crime committed by some criminals in burning a Train bogey.

Similarly many terror attacks have taken place in India during last two decades. Media men instead of accusing finger towards Criminals , try to frame a story sometimes against Hindu community and sometimes Muslim community as a whole. Media men never treat all citizen as Indian and Indian only. They frame story and collect statistics based on caste and community to widen the gulf betwen two castes and two communities. They will say that a Dalit woman is attacked by Upper caste people and turn the small incident to a story of attack on Dalit community by upper caste or upper class community.

In this way , actual criminals go out of police investigation , actual evil doers evade from actions and people's mind to diverted to so called communal disharmony and communal disturbance.

I remember a incident when high power electric current caused death to some persons who were sitting at top of a truck carrying out followers of a religion participating in Religious procession of a community. After this accidental event causing death to some persons, the state government of Jharkhand ordered all district magistrates in the state to ensure complete load shedding during the day of religious procession , may by Ramnavmi or Muharram or Sarhul festival procession. In this way administrative failure to keep electric wire well above the access of processionists or the negligence of a few individuals in keeping them away from high voltage electric wire goes unpunished and entire story is given a wrong colour which results in giving more trouble and pain to people of the state than to provide relief to suffering mass.


Similarly when a few students who are weak in study fail in examination , the government take the examiner and teachers to task or make a policy that none of students will be declared fail in classes from 1 to 12. When a few loan defaulters fail to repay the bank loan , government will advise banks to either write off loan or give some interest concession or enter into compromise settlement with such defaulters. Instead of prescribing medicine based on individual cases , all good or bad borrowers are punished in same way or all are awarded with write off of loan causing risk to survival of bank. Thus criminals move freely and do not fear the action under law and they manage police and entire judiciary to get exonerated even after committing heinous crime.

I am therefore not astonished that media men are trying to collect material which may prove that Land bill proposed by Modi Government is harmful for farmers. Lacs of farmers may be happy with Land bill proposition but media men will project the story of few farmers who may be affected by such bill. Media men or opposing political party never to consider the overall impact of a policy and overall growth possibility by any change of rule , but they are concerned more with failure of a political leader they wish.



I am not astonishing by false propaganda let loose by media men in nexus with some defeated political parties to prove that Modi government failed to give credit of Rs. 15.00 lac in account of each family by bringing back entire black money from foreign countries. They all know that entire volume of black money deposited in foreign  bank or in Indian banks cannot be the property of any government unless and until the laws of land allows to do so. 

Media men will not try to question to those individuals and offices which allowed fake export and fake import to take place. They will not focus on how real estate properties are bought and sold in office records at half or quarter value of market value only due to role of  black money played in trading of any landed property. Media men know it very well that lacs of crores of black money parked in foreign countries due to inefficient government of the past and not by only present government. They know it also that black money can be given to India only if foreign laws permit foreign banks to do so. They know that there is a bond of faith between depositors and bank and the same cannot be diluted for the benefit of any political or national body. Even then media men are tarnishing the image of ruling party on flimsy and fake logics.

I therefore urge media men to strike at the root cause of all case of evil works and all ugly incidents and not always try to make a mountain of mole hill only to raise their TRP.  After all it is the country and it is common men who have to suffer due to their mischievous role and due to their ill-motivated ATTEMPT TO GIVE WRONG DIRECTION TO ANY MOVEMENT OR SEND WRONG MESSAGE ABOUT ANY LAW, RULE OR CHANGE IN SYSTEM. They must keep in mind that their act may make or mar the future of the society and of any government . If they play positive role and if they portray true picture of bill or any change in the system , it will prove very much helpful in building a strong nation.

It will be praised by all if instead of blaming entire system, they investigate the expose the real culprit in any case of rape, killing, riot or  corruption or failure . It will be better if they suggest better course of action than maligning only the existing system. It will be better if they suggest best amendment in proposed Land bill than to just declare it a disastrous proposition . It will be praiseworthy if they organise honest debate on any issue and do not become judge in favour of or against any political leader blindly and with malicious  intention.

There are many good work done by Congress Government and many by other parties including BJP. Similarly there are black sheep in all parties and there may be corrupt leader in all parties. But role of media is to remain unbiased and try to expose a leader only if they have sufficient evidence to substantiate their conclusive and exclusive statement. I do not say that media men stop giving news on ugly incident of rape , but they should not harp on the same story for days and months to create a fear psychosis in the minds of all girl child and all women.


If vendors encroach road ,it creates traffic jam on prominent roads and inconvenience to many pedestrians and vehicle drivers. Media men make loud noises against government . When encroachment is removed by force, same media men will cry loudly saying that the government is anti -poor and anti-common men. If police takes action against law violators , police will be accused of brutal and undemocratic and on the other hand if police keep mum , they will be accused of inefficient and inactive. Ad so on.... There are numerous examples which will prove that media men are real evil on society and social peace.

It is media men  who have become curse on all good government . Media has become curse for all governments , it may be AAP government in Delhi or BJP_PDP government in Kashmir or BJP led government at centre or Congress Government in Karnataka or JDU government in Bihar. Honest political leaders fear facing media men  . It is important to say here that honest and true citizen in India is afraid of approaching police or court for any relief . Similarly bad politicians get all patronage from media men but good one fear facing media men. IN conclusion , media men are speed brakers for good governance and not a warning signal for bad workers and bad politicians.

Media men should stand as pillar for all good workers, good government and good offices. Goodness is to be based on overall image and not a few negligible cases and similarly an office may be tagged as corrupt only because of an act of corruption committed by on or two officer. If some cases of suicide takes place or some cases of rape takes place or some killing takes place in Delhi  , media should not try to blame entire Delhi Government . Yes if punitive action is not taken in shortest possible time , accusing fingers must be pointed out against erring officials and not towards entire system.

Lastly it is to be understood why the image of media men is so bad in the society and in the country . It is only because majority of news coverage in directed towards wrong points and to achieve ill-motivated tasks. When majority of journalist behave with biased attitude, their image gets maligned all over the country. People avoid facing media men just as thy avoid facing court and police officials. It is really not good for all of us.
