Yellow Journalism to the Rescue!

The Recent incidents in Indian Politiks and media are a Cocktail of Lessons for any mature Democratic Setup.

1. The Central Government brought in a Law for a Person to hold 2 (profitable) posts at the same time. Who cares about un-employment. The government showed its have "Power will Exploit" attitude.

2. Reservations were brought into to favour a class of people who were deemed backward class a whole 52 years back!. The Minister in charge responded to allegations saying that there is no statistical basis but just a "NEED" which the Govt sees fit.
Ends really Justify the means, ain't it ?
Votes can be got by such scrupulous means only, by dividing society and depriving future genre of a sense of Equality and Freedom to Education and Employment.

3. Yellow Journalism to he rescue. Last but not the least, I feel the Govt made use of a Family Nightmare in the Late Pramod Mahajan's Family to killfile the current misgivings and current impasse over its decisions. I feel it Muscled all National TV and print media into showing the Rahul Mahajan issue. None of the forms of Media showed anything related to Reservations and or the Presidents returning of the Bill of Rights amendment etc.

It appears the Country is in a state of Banana Republic with the Print and TV Media being on a Holiday and reporting only issues which the Govt in power wants it to report.
People protesting for Individual/Citizen Rights are being neglected.

Really shoddy state of Affairs in India.
Its sure is a bad omen for the World's Largest Democracy.

Well don't complain! chances are Nobodys Listening.
Any Mature Democratic developing Country should have some ways to tackle such one-sided , Fascist powers in Government Machinery. Yeah...My pointers are to Nepal which can take a cue from our fumbling constituitional Setup.
