NSA Ajit Doval’s highly-publicised visits were glaring as home ministry under Amit Shah is responsible for law enforcement in the capital and Delhi Police reports to him.
Some residents of Northeast Delhi say riots have compelled them to move away, but others hold on to faith in their years-old friendships and tradition of peace.
The narrations linked to ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ sit far outside authenticated Hadith literature, yet modern amplification has turned a weak report into a slogan with political afterlife.
Once acquired by IAF, the medium transport aircraft (MTA) will replace both AN-32s and IL-76s, it is learnt. The idea behind the revamp is to meet modern operational needs.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
Riots happen because people want it. Normally these happen after prolonged economic, social, religious confrontations. Mostly reasons are local projection of national and international issues. This is the first riot caused by media. History has shown that liberal media is worst enemy of minorities. NPR is not in sight
Author writes “….. to have to prove it repeatedly in their own country to self-proclaimed nationalists.” Author must know that nationalism is always self-proclaimed and doesn’t need certificates from crooks masked as liberals and seculars. Muslims are repeatedly asked to prove their nationalism is a perception perpetuated by sickularists to keep Muslims deceived forever. Muslims are the only people in India who have been blinded by hatred produced by anti-RSS forces. Muslims become easy prey due to their Shariya based upbringing that limits their options in the modern world. Author’s double standards are visible in every para of this post.
Good reply. The print has equated hate against BJP with hate against Hindus. It’s entire reporting is with the aim to absolve muslims even when its clear that they are the party initiating violence and just blame Hindus.
Muslims are the only minority who kills majority anywhere in the world.
Good reply. The print is part of the forces arrayed against Hindus.
Your writing that hate speech by BJP leaders (??), Attacks on Muslims(??), and burning of Mosque (??), what non sense you are writing.
Whole thing started with Shaheenbagh terror, All the inflammatory speeches by Muslim leaders and participants of Shaheenbagh and opposition parties are conveniently forgotten.spade should be called spade by unbiased journalists, which you are not.
On the subject of craven (contemptibly lacking in courage; cowardly.), opportunistic journalists, I had an acquaintance in the U.S. who left journalism over 15 years ago. He said his breaking point was when he was reporting on a school bus accident and his producer asked him if any children had died. My friend said no and his producer expressed disappointment that there had been no child fatalities because that would have made a better story. My friend left journalism soon after that. Agreeing with me, my friend Apratim Mukarji says, : Quite believable. I have witnessed the crest-fallen faces of several news editors when the reporter concerned disclosed that nobody had died in the accident “Not really worth publishing.” I recall an incident when Tavleen Singh was covering Meerut riots for the Telegraph. Communal riots and use of swords in this modern age! Yes, if you believe the story of Ms Tavleen Singh in the Sunday magazine on communal riots in Meerut in 1982. The riot-torn city was limping back to normalcy. As I was stationed at Meerut for my newspaper, I accompanied her on a tour of the riot-affected areas at the time when the city was limping back to normalcy. Suddenly, messages on the police wireless network flashed recovery of several swords. We rushed to the Prahlad Nagar police station. It so happened that several wooden crates had come to Meerut from Dehradun with swords in them that were to get polished. One of the crates opened as it fell from a rickshaw in which the crates were being carried from the railway station. The swords were exposed, triggering a sort of panic. Already on alert, the police took possession of all the crates and took them to the concerned police station. There was no reason for alarm bells to ring as there was no apparent link with the riots that had seen no medieval sword-fight. The swords were for decoration, but Ms Tavleen Singh did not agree not to highlight this incident as an exclusive. Next week’s Sunday magazine carried photographs of the crates of swords and a few paras.
The article is reasonably balanced one considering the scale of bias you see in Indian media including The Print. That said, stating Sardesai had a dilemma in reporting is far fetched as that man has bias under every cell of his body.
Many journos used to enjoy a lot of freebies under Congress governments. They cannot digest the fact they have lost all those gifts they used to take for granted. Burkha, Rajdeep and Shekhar belong to this category.
Preserving harmony, which others have so thoughtlessly destroyed, is not the journalist’s job. Reporting scenes of violence can be done with a sense of discernment, displaying graphic images with sobriety. Not creating a spectacle, like Ms Anjana Om Kashyap landing up in a spacesuit. The worst travesty of course would be to act irresponsibly, make a bad situation worse. A scrum of one hundred journalists landing up on one terrace, to further a political narrative. 2. A communal riot is not a pretty sight. Its truth and horrors should be widely brought to our consciousness by the media, fill at least citizens of good conscience with moral indignation towards its authors. For me, that handsome young Muslim boy, mourning the death of his father, is the defining image of Delhi 2020.
