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 .....

very true...something i knew but din realise.
"Media Portray as if they are all towards the minority and stuffs.."
This one is wrong perception, buddy.. Media doesnt seem to portray that way... And there are only few channels like this
and where there is money, then there is the programme u wish to see... India is diverse, with majority revenue flowing from the hindus and christians.. so dont blame media.. u wouldnt like to operate a org where u are gonna do a programme for minorities and get no returns..
Hello, this is reality check and here is the blank truth..
Hey
Its pucca..
Its true..
Even I hav wondered abt this for long.. But I hav not much of my own views to say.. Actually I dont know if the media has some reason to do this..
u have the answer in the question and still i dunno what u are trying to get as a reply...what does minority mean...it means a community whose representation in the country is less than 35%...with this less than 35% population consisting of christians,muslims and all others it is quite obvious that the media people wud want to target the majority population..i would stop calling these religions as minority only when they stop having their own laws and represent the people of india and not their religion...then i wud raise my voice to call these people as minority and slam all media for not being their friends
