We talk of changes... of values, of tradition, of morals. Of fighting the growing corruption, of restoring a method to the madness around. And strangely when the onus is on the media, it acts irresponsibly. I refer to the television channels airing their usual programms on 15TH AUGUST.
From stupid, banal films like SANDWICH and WANTED to the disgusting reality shows like MEETHI CHURI etc, could they not have put aside their greed for raking in more ads and moolah and aired something sensible like say an UPKAAR, or SHAHEED or a talk show involving a discussion on the plusses of India. What the little kids watch on Independence Day today is a horror film or a daily soap, something that robs them of their innocence.
They know nothing of patriotism. They do know of suicides, of principals and teachers victimising students. They know of electronic gadgets and porn films. Its the adults around them- their families, who should choose the schools wisely, who need to understand the huge responsibility of providing to the society, a parasite or a joyous, proud and peaceful individual.
Lets do our bit and actually understand the term 'independence'.
