Doordarshan is the bestBy: Sameer | 15-Jun-2009Reply | ForwardConsidering the quality of news dished out by the private news channels in India, I consider the good old Doordarshan to be the best. DD is the most objective and impartial news channel in the country and does not engage in sensationalism.
No partisan media pleaseBy: Dr.G.Srinivasan | 14-Jun-2009Reply | ForwardNDTV and CNNIBN have sold their souls to congress money and Padmabushans and Padmashrees and are partisan.hence even for the english audience we need national broadcasters and concentrate on the nation as a whole
Lost in translation!By: Ramesh Kapoor | 13-Jun-2009Reply | ForwardWe are not Hindi literates, and neither can we read or write any other Indian vernaculars. Zee TV, which is broadcast by my local cable channel, has news read in Hinglish, with obvious simple Hindi words translated in English, but the news captions are still in Hindi. This does not mean much to those of us who are PIOs, and can understand Hindustani, a mixture of Hindi and Urdu, but cannot read either. But, noting the language divide between North and South, and multiple languages written and spoken, does make us feel that regional language cannot be entrusted to the common agenda. Here in the U.S.A. English and Spanish form the major two languages, though translators are available for the service of those who 'no speak Inglaise.' Reminds me of one Ayurvedic Doctor propagating the benefits of vegetarianism, could not find the word for non-veg, and the best he could come up was Animal Food. Did he mean meat, or the fodder et al that forms food for the animals?
