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.

युवा पंचायत - बेरोज़गारी के ख़िलाफ़ एकीकृत संघर्ष का ऐलान!

  किसानों के बाद अब युवाओं ने ठान लिया है कि राज्यों और अपनी-अपनी भर्ती परीक्षाओं की सीमाओं को तोड़कर एकीकृत आंदोलन करेंगे और बेतहाशा बढ़ी बेरोज़गारी पर सरकार को घेरेंगे। बेरोज़गारी के ख़िलाफ़ काम कर रहे युवा हल्ला बोल ने अपने आधिकारिक ट्विटर हैंडल से पोस्ट करते हुए सूचना दी है कि 24 मार्च को इलाहाबाद में युवाओं की महापंचायत होगी। प्रतियोगी परीक्षाओं की तैयारी कर रहे और बेरोज़गारी का दंश झेल रहे युवा इस पंचायत में शिरकत करेंगे।   समस्या किसी एक भर्ती परीक्षा या आयोग में नहीं, बल्कि पूरी व्यवस्था में युवा हल्ला बोल के संयोजक अनुपम ने बातचीत में हमें बताया, “युवा धीरे-धीरे समझ रहे हैं कि समस्या किसी एक भर्ती परीक्षा या किसी एक आयोग से जुड़ा हुआ नहीं है। समस्या पूरी व्यवस्था में है, जिसके ज़रिए नौकरियाँ लगातार कम हो रही हैं।” युवाओं  को इस व्यवस्था ने कमज़ोर किया है और आश्रित बनाकर छोड़ दिया है।   क्यों नहीं बेरोज़गारी का मुद्दा सरकार को डरा पाती है? गौरतलब है कि आए दिन कर्मचारी चयन आयोग, उत्तर प्रदेश अधीनस्थ सेवा चयन आयोग ,   बिहार शिक्षक भर्ती ,   मप्र शिक्षक भर्ती   आदि से संबंधित हैशट

Deportation of British parliamentarian: Modi government not ready of accomodating criticism?

The Indian government has released a statement regarding the arrest and deportation of the British Labour parliamentarian Debbie Abrahams, clarifying that her e- business visa had been revoked 3 days and she was trying to enter India through an invalid visa. Debbie Abrahams said that she had got the e- visa for a time period of 1 year in october 2019. She questions how it can be possible that her visa got invalid if its term period is not over.  Also Read:-   The Supreme court orders for permanent commission to women. It is clear that the government has revoked her e-visa because she was a critic of the Indian government as the government has curbed   human rights in Kashmir   after the revocation of Article 370 from kashmir.  After the revocation of article 370 in August 2019, Mrs. Debbie Abrahams, who is the chairperson of the United Kingdom’s All- party parliamentary group on kashmir, raised the issue of human rights curbation in kashmir by the Indian government,

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% in 2017-18 and today they are
