Vijit's Opinion

In the information world of today, the media plays a big role in influencing the society. Indian government is very much liberal when it comes to the media. However, today the media especially the news channels are stooping too low to increase their TRP ratings. At times I fail to realize that I am watching a news channel and not an entertainment channel. I understand that there is nothing wrong in reporting of popular reality shows on news channels. However, today these news channels end up devoting more than an hour on telecasting video shoots of reality shows. Is this what news channels are supposed to do? A very recent incident of how 16 year old Adnan's Patrawala's killing was somehow influenced by the role played by news channels is the best example of how things could go wrong if the media does not behave in a responsible manner. Adnan met 3 guys in some Pool club 6 months ago. By these regular meet they came to know all about Adnan & they planned to trap him. They c...

Adulterated food and the magnitude and scope of adulteration is a big cause of concern. Adulteration of milk and milk products, synthetic milk and milk products being sold, dead chicken from farms making their way to the kitchens of restaurants are a big threat to the health and well-being of society. Just for the sake of making quick money people are risking the lifes of so many. They do not realize that the same adulterated food made by them could end up in their food chain by some way or the other. And the money earned by them making and selling adulterated food might not save them from the consequences caused due to consumption of such food. I hope the administration takes note of this and takes steps to ensure that quality of food products are not compromised with.

I do not understand the Left parties. I never did and I have stopped trying to. What were the left parties doing when the Indian government started negotiations with the US government on the Indo-US nuclear deal? Were they sleeping? When the deal is in the final stage they wake up from their slumber and are opposing the deal. They consider this as an opportunity to show how vulnerable the Indian government is without their support. I consider this as blackmailing. The failure of this deal will make Pakistan and China happy. I am not pro US or anti China. However, if the Indo-US nuclear deal is for the benefit of the nation then why not go for it. India's energy requirements have to be taken care of. If the nuclear deal takes care of this then we need to go ahead and finalize the deal. With friends like these (Left parties), the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) does not need enemies. I consider the Left parties stand on the nuclear deal as anti-national.
