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 .....

Indian Cricket -Full of Manipulation

As far i am concerned ,Indian cricket has lost its glory of the past as like the game of hockey...Indian cricket it is seem to be more predictable..
Big Tournaments:
The common feature in a tournament is the lose the major games and get thumping victory against teams like bangladesh,zimbabwe,kenya,holland..once in a while wins against major teams..They lose most of their first round...in a tough qualifying matches sometime they show us that game went so close but lost very rare occasion in big tournaments they go to finals...in finals it is one side affair..they lose terribly........

Individual Players:
When seeing the Individual track records most of our player out of 10 matches they tend to get 30+ runs in 2-3 games... They spend more time advertising..Quotiting the selectors comment"Performance is key for selection" ,i think this wont suit for players like sehwag,dhoni who score once in a while in ODI cricket...

Good Players out because of Politics:
Players like Kumble,dinesh karthik,Balaji,murali karthik,sreesanth,power and many more who proved them in matches are out of indian squad just because of dominance of punjab,karnataka,mumbai BCCI officials ...I am confused why they alwasy keep players like harbajan ,agarkar,dhoni who dont perform that welll....when asked they say for dhoni he is good batsmen so he has edge over dineswh karthik..i have a doubt when u have 6 batsmen who fail then why do u pick batsmen like that...

Media Role:
When switch on your televsion news ,it is assured u have atleast 2 cricket news...they are hyping the game like anything...it is so shameful that they tend to do stories on players hair stlye etc.....Incase of big players ,when he gets a decent score in a game after prolonged failure they do "The MASTER IS BACK","THE TIGER ROARS BACK AGAIN" which quite unfair....Actually media has spoiled the true nature of indian cricket....

Commentators:
There are very well performed players who comments on the performance but i quite amused that players who failed in their cricket tend not only comment but tend to teach them in tv..players like sidhu who poor fielder tends to comment on indian fielding ability and criticizes the players so badly...people who couldnt stay on indian cricket they go on air (tv shows) judging the performance of the current players....

Only positive thing is our performance in test cricket...Rest of the things are not so good to be spoken about..i feel indian cricket like the game of WWE are preplanned and are done ...it is so easy to judge the results...
