how does this stuff even matter in topics like influence on media and sensor board ? i am saying solve what congress did wrong instead of doing wrong thing yourself.. instead of talking about influencing media make it independent .it does not matter what ideology is it should be free from it and that is my point .
we deviated from the topic a long time ago... as we do with most topics. To answer your question, personal bias always come into play with the media. A media is a collection of opinions in most free countries.

i am sorry for derailing so this is my last post on this topic .. sure media has its on views but to wish political party should influence it directly just cannot be right thing to do ..

Actually all this is part of a larger conversation about control/manipulation of media/various other bodies so we haven't exactly deviated from the topic. The problem is that BJP is imposing its views on the media through money or influence.

how do you know nothing will change? Say what you may about the RSS but the bulk of their top leadership have no progeny and are workaholics. Yes they have a cultural agenda. But from a corruption POV they are extremely clean. So it depends what you define change as. Take somebody like Khattar. Unmarried. No craving for money. Works 70 hours a week. Clearly thats going to benefit the state of Haryana. The probability of Khattar being involved in a scam is extremely low. Thats not to say BJP dont have corrupt members. Ofcourse they do. But their % is much lower. Its not fair to compare the congress to the BJP/RSS. Both have totally different ethos. Now you can say the ethos of the RSS will be imposed as compared to the Congress ethos. But they are different things.
You have Mamta Banerjee also with almost similar credentials. One would think she is unmarried, has no family of her own as such and wants to change the Bengal. Do you think she is doing a good job in Bengal ? There is no veritable figures to suggest BJP is anyway lower in corruption than Congress. In most of the numbers their leaders would almost have as much criminal background as congress. It is just misleading to say BJP people are less in corruption or crime or any of the negative indicator.

Yeah I read that boo years ago and found most of that stuff ridiculous and offensive .Particularly so as I belong to the KVG community described in the book. Regardless of all that content how does it justify threatening to kill him and his family as response ? Why have they suddenly woken after all these years if there were offended by the book released after four 4 years. Yes it is mainly offensive about the KVG caste but almost all these protests are carried out by local hindutva communities along with KVP party. P.S Have u heard the Annamar story (Sankar -Ponnar) and how degrading it is about Vettuva Gounder community ?Whom we consider God. Should they threaten to kill every one in our community who prays to him.or writes book about him?
No organization protested in front of his house or vandalized public properties. If an author attempts write an offensive book about entire community in the name of creative freedom, he is bound to get anonymous threats from individuals. All that happened was a big crowd of 10 people burned a couple of books and some people made a few phone calls. Anyone in literary circle knows that there will be some objections and critisims from the officials regularly. If there is a freedom of writing, there is a freedom of critique too. Even in twitter, there are many such incidents were normal people received multiple threats from anonymous people just for some random tweets. And as some retards say, if the govt have to punish the people who issue threats, we might be staring at a civil war for another partition. If the author really faced such empty threats, he could ve reported to police but he did not. Secondly, there is no proof that Hindu Munnani or RSS involved in this "campaign". People should undertand that their involvement were alleged by perumal murugan himself. They are facing their own problems, and recently they said they have no time to look at this silly issue. Not many knew that the TN right wing leaders are in constant life threat from Muslim organizations. More than 15 HM, RSS and BJP were assasinated by the muslim terrorists in 2014. This is severely underreported in media. Link Thirdly, the KVG community (which is the book's primary target) did not even cared about this book as the guy is neither "acclaimed" nor "prominent" writer, until last week. As you might have known our community is the favourite punching bag for the media, movies, dravidian political outfits and even people from other regions. All this point to one conclusion. The chicken murugan is stirring unnecessary controversy to sell his book by posting in FB "The writer in me is dead", clearly knowing that the current fashion is to bash anything related to "Hindutva". If he is really afraid, he would ve remained silent. But no, he decided to seek some attention and the media is writing multiple stories and news about this plothax of a situation. I won't be surprized if he decides to takes up writing again after 10 days with all this publicity to create anticipation for his next pornography. P.S: Dood, I have read the Ponnar-Shankar literature, it's just a story about a war between Vellalar and Vettuvar groups. I m not sure whether it's degrading the entire vettuvar commnity, but imo it just degrades the vettuva leader. That lame Karunanidhi's literature is the one that degrades both the communities.

Please turn Hinduism into a carbon copy of the other religions everyone seems to hate. We are already half way there. When people hear about Hinduism, they should not think of respect and toleration. They should be scared of "offending" anyone anytime the word Hinduism is mentioned.

No body cared, until the anti-hindu brigade started to write vague stories with the reports and facts pulled out of their asses.

strange that I would like the opposite. Hindus should try to revert certain minorities back to Hinduism, should see no harm in abusing other religions or letting others abuse Hinduism

^ Actually the congis tried to spread here and failed hilariously. AAPtards hired some 3rd grade sellouts like their leader kejritard, but lost deposits. The morons who vote for AAP are not even in triple digits. And the "peacful minority" terrorists masquerading as political parties and unions tried to get into their 2 seconds of fame, but nobody cared except the fellow terrorists who follow them. The Hindu party leaders are actually in trouble since they are getting assasinated by the all-umma terrorists who roam here as common minorities. (See the link at post#87). They are not even have a decent presence here. So no worries.
