    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    He was the most peaceful person? I have trouble believing it along with rest of the civilised world. Muhammad was the only "Prophet" or Messiah to take part in war Military career of Muhammad - Wikipedia Muhammad ordered beheading of Jews who refused to convert to Islam. He demonstrated to his...

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    I do not wish to argue about anything. All I objected to was that you gave a bad name to your country in this thread. Bad name it does not deserve. Most sections of Indian media are fair. Few are biased and we know which are biased. Abroad too some media outlets are biased .. some rage against...

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    I am quite a bit to the left of every Indian I have met. Probably you have to meet more Indians. I am not being bitter or sweet .. I am being realistic Now read this and tell me if in your view Swami Vivekananda was "asuric" .. he certainly uses stronger words than me .. "Now, some...

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    If you intentionally do not answer but veer around to another point of view .. nothing can be done. It is a Hindu country (though for some unknown reason the constitution states we are secular) with Hindu majority .. there is nothing wrong with some sections of the media taking a pro-Hindu...

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    So you are trying to lessen their suffering .. what if they ask you a simple question .. are we free after 200 years of British rule or 800 years of Muslim rule followed by 200 years of British rule .. what will you answer? I would strongly suggest you move this topic to a general debate...

    If you are indeed able to see Brahman in all things .. then why do you have a problem with dishonest media houses .. they are also Brahman namaste A_B

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    @sayak83 You seem to believe that a just human society is possible (something out of Star Trek maybe) It is not. Thieves, cheats, liars, crooks and murderers rule this world .. always have .. always will. If you want peace .. retreat like I have .. retreat to a forest (real or metaphorical)...

    And who will guard the guards themselves may I ask? What if the guards are compromised .. More laws do not mean better life for you and me .. it means more money for lawyers. namaste A_B

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    You find my cynicism disappointing and I find your naivete amusing. Have you never heard of the phrase media moguls and newspaper barons? Why are they called moguls and barons? Media shapes how we interpret and observe information. Inform yourself young Padawan Rupert Murdoch’s influence in...

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    I do not know which cuckoo land (or is it fruitopia .. your fantasy you choose the place) you live in where a journalist is independent of editorial board which is independent of owners .. I cannot even believe you said that. Ashoka was more interested in spread of Buddhism (due to guilt...

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    Okay. My points are - A ) Why are you quoting an unknown watchdog which says out press freedom in India is 130th in the world ? Why not the better known IFJ Journalists & media staff killed list in 2018 - Safety of Journalists This year only two journos have died in India .. one of whom was...

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    I have long back .. Score Economic Left/Right: -7.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.67. Far left of center as far as economics go and centrist as far as social values go. Politics and religion have always been bedfellows .. from time immemorial .. but to pick up and parade a particular...

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    Can you define the terms "right wing" and "nationalism"? Why should anyone patriotic get called a redneck in USA and right wing nationalist in India? I have never voted for anyone who runs on a "Hindu platform" .. nor will I ever do so .. but since when is it wrong to be proud of ones race and...

    Politicized Hinduism and the Media

    India has a rich and vibrant democracy .. India has free press and journalists are free to travel to any corner of the country and report on anything. There is no reason to believe that India ranks 130 in press freedom just because a foreign watchdog said so. You do not have to convince people...
