JNU Violence: Who’s The Real Culprit?

JNU Violence: Who’s The Real Culprit?
There was a piece of disturbing news that came from JNU in Delhi. Masked men and women who were armed with sticks and stones, they beat students and teachers and vandalized property at the university. The mob also attacked a team of doctors and nurses that went to JNU to give first-aid to students and broke the windows of their ambulance. The attack has left 34 people injured. 
The campus had been tense for a few months as one section of students had been protesting against the sharp increase in hostel fees by the university authorities.
Even if somebody disagrees with the ideology of JNU students or any other university, violence is not a solution. There should be no place for violence in a democratic and civilized society.
Who’s responsible for these attacks?
According to reports, a radical group has taken the responsibility for the violence that took place in JNU on the eve of 5th Jan. They could be behind this attack. But they are not the real culprits. The real ones are those who incited the violence. And we know them. Unfortunately, that’s the media.
When students were protesting at JNU, AMU, JMI, Jadavpur University, Hyderabad University, etc, a certain section of the television news channels during their Prime Time show at 9 PM every night, would call these students anti-nationals, part of Tukde-Tukde gang and what not. These statements made by television journalists leave a deep impact on people. They think that whatever the TV anchor is saying is correct and inturn takes drastic steps.
The Need of the Hour
The job of the media is to portray facts, present both sides of the picture and remain neutral. The media should not act as a jury and decide who is a nationalist and who’s an anti-national. These actions of media instigate people which lead them to the path of violence.
There are MEDIA ETHICS that every media person and organizations need to follow. But, unfortunately, most of the media persons and organizations neglect them because of which media is losing its integrity as the fourth pillar of democracy.

Entrance Exam में भी GST लगाकर गरीबों को उच्च शिक्षा से दूर कर रही मोदी सरकार?

  क्या भारत बिना शिक्षा के विश्व गुरु बन सकता है? अगर ऐसा नहीं तो फिर उच्च शिक्षा को हर दिन महंगा क्यों किया जा रहा है? ये जानते हुए कि आर्थिक स्थिति कमजोर होने के कारण बड़ी संख्या में छात्र उच्च शिक्षा हासिल करने से पहले ही पढ़ाई छोड़ देते हैं। क्या इससे ये मान लिया जाए कि सरकार मान चुकी है कि हम वाट्सऐप यूनिवर्सिटी के जरिए ही लोगों को शिक्षित कर देंगे। ताजा उदाहरण नीट-पीजी की परीक्षा का है।    यह भी पढ़ें:  SSC GD - 2018 Protests - लाठीचार्ज में टूटा हाथ, अभ्यर्थी ने कहा - हाथ टूटा है, हौसला नहीं     नीट का एंट्रेंस टेस्ट नेशनल बोर्ड ऑफ एग्जामिनेशन यानी एनबीई करवाता है। पिछले साल जिन छात्रों ने इसका टेस्ट दिया उन्हें फार्म के लिए 3750 रुपए देने पड़े थे। इस बार जो छात्र इस टेस्ट में बैठना चाहते हैं उन्हें उसी परीक्षा के लिए 4250 रुपए देने पड़ेंगे। सिर्फ यही नहीं बल्कि इसबार जीएसटी लगा दिया गया है। इस टेस्ट में शामिल होने वाले छात्रों को जीएसटी भी चुकाना होगा। यानी समान्य और पिछड़े वर्ग के छात्र 5,015 रुपए एससी-एसटी के छात्र 3,835 रुपए जमा करने के बाद ...

"Shadow Pandemic": Predator and Prey

    "Shadow Pandemic": How Gender-based violence increased during Lockdown? Not safe in the womb, not safe in the house, not safe in the streets, not safe in the dark, not safe in the light, not safe in suits, not safe in shorts, not safe in burquas, not safe anywhere, or let us say 'NOT SAFE AMONG MEN'. If we talk about women, she may have realized that she is not safe in the public only until her husband, father, brother, uncle, son, or let us say "men", made her realize that her own house wasn't safe either.   Gender-based violence   is a hidden consequence. It has appeared as a harsh reality when survival becomes the question. The lockdown which was imposed in March, to curb COVID 19 infections, lead to great challenges, mainly faced by women and children. Women individuals suffering violence at home feared unsafe to live because of selfish humans. On one hand, where people were suffering to struggle for their basic needs like food and s...

Declining Indian Economy: Facing A Tough Time

The recent annual financial stability report released by the RBI on the 27th of December 2019 shows that there’s a structural slowdown in India. The report says that the situation is disturbing. The   IMF   has guided India to take immediate action to revive the economy. Dr. Arvind Subramaniam( Cheif Economic Adviser) and Mr. Josh Felman observed that the economy seems headed for an intensive care unit. How bad is the situation In 1991-92, the Indian economy was facing its worst time ever. The industry growth was -9% and the   GDP   was growing at just 1.1%. Comparing the current situation, the industry growth is -10% and the GDP growth is 4.5%. But, looking at the past data, this growth rate is also under question.  There’s a question mark on GDP figures. It can never be 4.5% as the conditions are similar to 1991-92.  The 2017-18 reports show that the consumer goods production growth rate was 5% and at present it’s -1%. India’s exports were 9% ...
