Media is the pillar of democracyBy: rajesh | Tuesday , 24 Nov '09 23:31:52 PM Reply | Forward They attack media because parties like ss & MNS wants wants media as a " rakhail". They are not political activists but they are goons like taliban they want to create terror every where , those who dont obey will be taught lesson just like taliban How much similar their ways are Taliban wants women to remain in houses so do these like SS and Bajrang Dal. Taliban kills those who don't listen to them so do these ppl. It is for the PPL of Maharashtra to teach them lesson. They seem to forget it was marathis who led the independence struggle of India "Bal Gagadhar Tilak & Gopal Gokhle" they wud not have imagined even in their dreams one day these guys will kill those who call themselves Indian.

The nail needs to be hit on headBy: P Chakraborty | Sunday , 22 Nov '09 12:43:25 PM Reply | Forward I am tending to get a feeling that average Maharistrians are essentially narrow minded communal. In heart of heart a great majority of them support Shiv Sena and MNS. They do not wish to come out in the open in the fear of losing their pseudo secular and progressive image. I am expressing this unbiased opinion after talking to a sizable number of Marathi manoos connected with me professionally and socially. Almost all of them would express their anger on Raj and party laced with generous dose of affectionate innuendoes. All will suffix their comments with a view that these are just short-lived fallout of revelry between cousins and in any case Raj has a vision that Udav doesn%u2019t have. Incidentally none of those I talked to were quite sure of the specific details of the vision. I am yet to find a Marathi who said in no uncertain terms that is poison for the country as a whole hence the strongest anti venom needs to be administered without any further delay.
Who will do it?By: Jas | Sunday , 22 Nov '09 20:07:19 PM Reply | Forward Why blame Marathi Manoos only? Rest of the India has same kind of acceptance of RSS for decades. The fact of the matter is Indians have been robbed of their thinking faculties by centuries of slavery. I put Indian population in basically two categories:1. cunning and stupid and 2. plain stupid. Politicians and the half educated people in various adminstratives wings of governments who are busy secrewing the nation, fall in the first category while the rest are in the second category.Plain stupids blindly follow the cunning stupids. However there is very minute sub-population, in both groups, of honest cynics who have been emasculted by the 'cunning and stupids'. I guess people like you and I are part of that fraction. All we can do is write on forum like this to vent our anger and keep our sanity intact.
how i wish !!!By: sangeeta | Sunday , 22 Nov '09 12:19:25 PM Reply | Forward How i wish rajdeep sardesi showed the same enthusiasm to fight tor the anti nationals,children of the lesser god, which he did when his channel was targeted
India on the path to a failed and fragmented stateBy: Jas | Sunday , 22 Nov '09 8:47:29 AM Reply | Forward As stupid as thet are, the people in RSS and SS know this well that as long as they carry out their activities in the name of Hinduism and Indian culture, the fanatic hindus in police, adminstration and judiciary will protect them. Police and military won't stop them until these Hindu taliban become so bold that they start attacking the police and military in order to have full control of India. Just as it happened in Pakistan. It may look like a far fetched scenerio to some people right now but to me it looks like a certainty,in not very far future. All levels of governments have sympathies toward Hindu fanaticism and it is a matter of time only, governments will be too afraid to take any action, if they are not, already. It is amazing that the so called poor and uneducated masses of India showed exceptionally good judgement and maturity in rejecting the religion based parties. It is the half educated urbanites with minds tainted with religious bigotry, which is failing India.

Objectivity, my foot!By: Mazloom Kashmir | Saturday , 21 Nov '09 21:49:01 PM Reply | Forward Imagine if a Muslim had committed such an assault on a media outlet. Entire community would have been glorified with titles such as fundamentalists, extremists, jihadis, al-qaeda, lashker, etc, etc. Why is Indian media not dubbing Thackeray and his goons Hindu extremists? Where's madam Barkha Dutt? Can the media still claim to be objective???
Religion and Objectivity don't mixBy: jas | Sunday , 22 Nov '09 20:21:46 PM Reply | Forward Don't you know "Hindus are tolerant people." Of their own, of course. Looking for objectivity in religious fanatics, which most Indians are (most media people included) , is oxymoron.
Showbiz!!By: Sachith | Saturday , 21 Nov '09 16:55:38 PM Reply | Forward The attacks are purely Showbiz! Be on the lime light is the objective. Otherwise Mr. Bal Thackeray is more than matured to smile off any such comments. I wish he diverted the attention of the activists towards the lack of implementation of the promises on development made by the last few governments for Bombay (Oooops, sorry Mumbai) At least the real benefit would have come in for the People there and genuine deserved support will be earned by the Shiv Sena. Pray the cloud will pass and we all soon wil work towards a better India.
Raj ThackerayBy: Robert | Saturday , 21 Nov '09 15:45:04 PM Reply | Forward Raj Thackeray, even though he controls stronger Goons than the Shiv Sena will not do any attacks on the media. It is very open that the english media (mainly IBN) is working to make Raj more famous than SS. Just roll back memory to the events before maha elections to remember the daily news highlights provided by the tv channels on Raj Thackeray and his heroics. IBN deserves the good treatment from SS.
