Just switched on TV and heard the news that Star TV was attacked by some people.
As Usual, Star TV comments were some 'Hindu organization' whose name they had not even properly heard of before was responsible for this attack.
Ok, even if we believe they were Hindus, Star claims this attack was because Star TV tries to show news, which is secular in nature. Well, Star TV views are not shared by millions of Hindus as Hindus feel Star TV is part of a 'pseudo-secular' brigade with a view that when it comes to Muslims and Christians the view taken by leftist media is 'always innocent even if proved guilty' while when it comes to Hindus the view is 'guilty even when proven innocent'.
Reminds me of a Sher:
Woh (IMs) Qatl bhee kartay hain to koi charcha nahin
Hum (Hindus) Aah bhee bhartay hain to ho jaatain hain badnam
Try keep stretching & stretching the elastic as see what happens. But the felling is Hindus are expected to not only take punishment but also not even cry out in pain in the process. This is precisely what we are discussing in Hindu narrative that Hindus are not even allowed to air their views with an excuse that this is not good for 'communal harmony'.
Well, how long does one expect Hindus to be at the receiving end of political parties, mullahs, missionaries, anti-Hindu propaganda by foreign and leftist media etc all the time and not react at all?
If such incidents happened as what happened at Star today (I personally condemn this incident and more so if it was connected to Star TV sheltering the young couple in their office) but even assuming some Hindus were behind the attack, well why always expect 100% responsible behavior all the time only from Hindus? Surely even media has a responsibility to show balanced, non-biased news. That is not to say what happened today was right(no, it was not) but high time media also started being a bit more balanced in their news and views.
Instead of trying to introspect, media resorts to the same old strategy of defaming the entire Hindu community and try to put all Hindus on the defensive. Some idiot reporter on Star TV has already come to the conclusion that this attack indicates 'Talibanisation of India' and he keeps drawing parallels to attack on GEO TV. This moron can't see the difference between state sponsored terrorism of Pakistan and a group of a local people attacking Star TV in Mumbai.
Now watch the other worms lead by anti-national Vinod Mehta(Outlook) come crawling out to launch an attack on Hindus.
