No body should be cursed with a neighbor like Pakistan
Amid the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan, Atal Bihari Vajpayee's words ring loud, "You can change friends, but not neighbors." No nation in this world deserves a rogue neighbor like Pakistan. A country which doesn't value its faujis, for which development doesn't matter, whose Army fights to "protect" terrorism and records scripted videos to seek validation, whose PM is a puppet - can you even call it a nation? No one likes Pakistan, except our liberal media.
Liberal media is in love with 'Reverse Swinger' Khan
At the risk of sounding like Shobhaa De, I think Indian media is in love with clean-shaven, Imran Khan 'saab'. Otherwise, how else can you justify their one-sided affair? You don't have to be a patriot to acknowledge that India lost 40 CRPF jawans to terrorism bred and supported by the likes of Khan. You don't have to be smart to catch Khan's bluff. So, can we conclude empirically that Indian media is anti-national and dumb?
Here is a classic example
For them, hatred for Modi trumps trust over Armed forces
Let us be clear - you can question PM Modi on logical grounds and call out his antics if he uses Armed forces' actions for political mileage. As responsible media, it is our job to ask tough questions from the ruling party. The problem is when armed forces' heads give you proof and you still don't trust them. Ruling parties will come and go, love for nation should be sacrosanct.
He is a Professor of hatred?
Media's narrative changing formula = Paint terrorists as victims
During a time when the entire nation was worried, when our worst fears were coming true, when everyone stood united, Indian media was busy painting the terrorists as victims. We didn't want to know if that terrorist from hell was a cricket lover, or a school dropout. We were looking for solidarity, sadly we were told the caste of our martyred jawans. Was that crass behavior or a step towards something more sinister? I will put my bets on latter.
Bring out the peace placards
When CRPF's chief spokesperson Moses Dhinakaran asked them to not insult the martyrs, placards came out. Now that's an excellent way to change the narrative - what do you say when they run the hashtags like #SayNoToWar? You can't say you want war, even if it is against terrorism, even if we have been suffering because of that for decades. They will ask you to "give peace a chance".
You give them logical answer, they will call you war-mongers
Argue, and bring Hinduism into the fold
And, the third step in this devious methodology is to build false equivalents (Thanks, Rahul Roushan for the term) - compare the terrorists of Pakistan with mob lynchers of your nation. They both are wrong, but are their actions even remotely comparable? However, the moment liberal media does this, the focus is shifted. Sach ghate ya badhe to sach na rahe, jhooth ki koi intiha hi nahi.
Good news: No one falls for them except pseudo intellectuals
Having said all this, the good news is Indian media is facing extinction like never before. No one takes them seriously, their lies are busted with every tweet, their hypocrisy is now out in the open. Sardesais can arm-wrestle you, Ghoses can live in Mrs. Gandhi's era, and Dutts can file cases against you, at the drop of a hat. But they are irrelevant now, except for a bunch of pseudo intellectuals. Meanwhile, the rest of us can say it out loud - Jai Hind!
