Lashing by Navy ChiefBy: S.D.Israni | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 12:08:38 PM Reply | Forward It is sad to see that the Chief of Navy does not know how to deal with the media. He is the chief of the Naval force and is expected to maintain the dignity of office. Media may comprise of many fools, so could be the case with Navy or any other organisation, but as the Chief he cannot afford to behave that way. Admiral should display admirable qualities and not be petulant.

Demonizing Army -Media RoleBy: Jag | Friday , 5 Dec '08 23:03:16 PM Reply | Forward In order to sustain the plot to demonise Hindus, ATS with active support of so called secular Media improvised several sub-plots. In the process, the Indian Army was Portrayed as a rogue force, one in which a middle-level officer(Col Purohit) could pilfer 60 kg of RDX. Worse, it was made out as if the so-called ‘theft’ had remained undetected till the ‘ace investigators’ of the ATS had uncovered it. So the Army is not only infested with ‘terrorists’ but also totally unprofessional in its management of arms and ammunition. Could there be a worse indictment of the armed forces?As long as Media learn to behave responsibily try to evolve cencorship on its own like how it is in US media stop writing any thing just for sensation and nationalist Muslims stand marginalised and radicals within the muslim community are setting the agenda actively supported by media only God can save India
