Telangna Movement – National media Coverage
It has always been Telangana that inspired me to put pen to paper. Surprisingly this time a person influences me to write this article. A persona called Mr.Arya Chowdary, fellow Telanganite, who has been making untiring effort to change one unreasonable, unprofessional and closed minded individual called T.S Sudheer- NDTV correspondent from Hyderabad , on NDTV website. I feel very sorry for Mr.Arya Cowdary and request him to stop approaching this unlevel headed individual. This is also my request to all fellow Telanganites who are craving for national (Nothing national about these channels. These are notionally national) coverage.
NDTV Anti Telangana Coverage:
It would be wrong on my part paint whole NDTV Team as unprofessional organization and say that NDTV is anti Telangana.I rather treat it as one individual unprofessional handy work. I’ll write few incidents that how NDTV covered and intensions behind it.
KCR hunger strike:
This was not covered at all initially till his health became very serious. He might have felt that that was not national news. I’ll give benefit of doubt to him. However at the same time he covered attack on Renuka chowdary house at khammam. That filthy woman came on TV and abused the all Telanganites as Gundas and all. Mind you he has shown Sonia Gandhi poster being torn apart. This gentleman called Telanganites as thugs later on his blogs and all.I told him,in the form of comments, then that “for Pizza khanewaloko(I really doubt on his own money) juvar rotikhanewala looks like thugs only”. However he covers on hourly basis the manufactured united Andhra movement.
Intention: show Telangana movement in bad light and make it as anti-Sonia.
Telnagna Maha Garjana :
This was huge meeting ever happened in the independent India. Politician may claim that 25 lakhs attended the meeting. Let us take more pessimistic figure as 10-15 lakhs.By any standard that is good number. This did not find any mention in his channel. However on 17th morning he files a story saying that “ Jagan exit Good for Telangana- KCR”.Because he wanted to create friction between KCR and Congress. But he conveniently forgets the grand meeting in the evening. Read his stupid, cunning mind.
Phew the list is endless. He and his wife live on the poor of Telangna. I assume that they have some quota of stories to cover monthly or something. What these duo pick up not anything but “Lambada women selling kids stories” or death due to harassment or something. If they have mind of their own they should have gone to bottom of the issue,insteading of mere reporting that.For this gentlemen what is national news is worth reporting from Andhra Pradesh – Mr Rajasekhraa reddy – twirling his moustache not the hardships of fluoride victims in Nalgonda. This gentlemen so obsessed with animals that he always compared Mr. YSR with Tiger and his Son with Cub. He conveniently forgets that this tigers invasion of jungle and his loot in Andhra Pradesh. I asked many times on NDTV website stop doing this “Junglee” reporting and do some journlism.Sorry this gentleman might have forgotten basics of Journalism after living off the largesse of Andhra politicians. This guy is not Andhra wala as many say he is keralite.That is reason I told him( in the form comments) “it seems you have forgotten basics of journalism and learn from fellow journalist- Amarnath.k.Menon of India today to report unbiasedly). By the way A.K.Menon is Tejadeep kaur hubby( he is some DG in AP Police). I hit this guy many times through comments. NEVER abused him. So he blocked me from commenting on NDTV website. You can understand this guy mentality, who has no room for criticism when it comes to his own affairs. However this same gentleman criticizes KCR and Telangana movement.
Other National Media
CNN IBN Pretthi singh, anyway doe not report against or for so it does not matter. We know pretty well that Hindu editorial policy is against Telangana. Some reputed weeklies like Outlook, India Today and Tehelka are covering really well.
What is the message for Telangana Intelligentsia?
KCR and other intellectual are very well aware of that. Unlike many of us they do not complain. Instead they took the practical(political) path.In the current day politics; policticains at the national level are intelligent enough get the correct source of ionformation.Telangna declaration did not come becaz of National media coverage but here the heat generated by us. See irony in this country.In Manipur poor social activist Sharmila on fast unto death for the last 10 years for abolition of Armed Forces special power act (AFSPA).For the same thing In Kashmir people on street; our country constituted committee in Kashmir and hardily given damn to Sharmila. If you have listen to Neera radia tapes,you will realize the shady business these media personalities do. Do not forgot the fact the why Telugu media covered manufactured united Andhra movement; apart from that is owned by them;they were after ad revenue carrot Mr. Lagadapati shown. In this country everything is corrupt. To think that these journalists could not be bought by some vested interests is naïve.
My dear fellow Telanganites do not get discouraged by the no coverage of National media. I have a question for you all. How many of us know the fact that women fighting for separate Uttaranchal when they are on their way to New Delhi, they were raped by Uttar Pradesh people at Kathroli ? Women started early and men followed later; before men reached there they were beaten and raped. Many great moments of movements do go unreported or under reported; that does not mean that we should be discouraged.
Telangana has produced great telugu journalists of impeccable integrity such as Allam Narayana , K srinivas,Pasam yadgiri ,N.Venugopal ,Nageswar and many more.Whether you know it or not most of the people who write in most reputed magazine across world - Indian fortnight mazgazine “ The economic and Political weekly(EPW)” are from Telangana. We all should take a pledge today that next batch of intellectuals from south India should be form Telangana. I do not bracket these few idiots like Notional TV correspondents with intellectuals. Do not forget the fact that Dec 9 Telangna declaration is the result of untiring intellectual battle waged by Telangna leaders ( like Jaipal reddy,Kesava rao) along with our Leader KCR political strategies. Let us all pledge that we give all the intellectual depth that required for the betterment of Telangana and also safe guard the interests of Telangana. Let us diversify our professions across all professions instead hanging onto few sectors. Let us see an opportunity in this ;instead of worrying about what some unprofessional reports about.
