Media During Non-Hindu(Minority) Special Days

January 30th ,11 am .It was mohram ,an government public holiday and is special day for muslims .I turned on the television to just pass on the time for a while..Something striked my mind and i couldnt regonize it first clearly.Then i could figure what was actually disturbing my mind..

On days like Deepavali,Vinayaka Chatruthi,etc .Our Media Channels line up New movies,star interviews,and other special programmes...But have you seen the same thing in media on days like mohram,eid,good friday?Just think.....

Mohram is also special day as like Vinayaka Chatruthi or for that matter any hindu special day..But the question that strikes is
-->Why werent there any Special programmes in Tv for Non Hindu religious days?
-->We have special programmes on V inayaka Chatruthi,birthday of hindu god.Why not for Other Non Hindu gods birthdays?
-->On Christmas,Very few channel have special programmes...

Media Portray as if they are all towards the minority and stuffs..They criticize the politicians with relation to be against minority...But media as such they fail to even entertain the minority people on their special days....For example :Sun Tv,jaya tv and almost all the channels dont have any special programes lined up on minority special days .But for hindu special days they have whole set of programmes .

I hope the question that triggered in me would also have made you think .....
