Shame on Indian Media
A MUST READ...
Dear Editors of HT, TOI, Indian Express, and The Hindu, I got the mail below from a friend of mine and following the unwritten code of conduct, I am forwarding it to my friends. But all efforts of people who have been forwarding this mail would go to waste if this mail doesn't reach YOU...
Something to think about...!!
Shame on Indian Media??? Really, what a shame...
By the time you guys read this news, the body of Major Manish Pitambare, who was shot dead at Anantnag, would have been cremated with full military honors.
On Tuesday, this news swept across all the news channels - 'Sanjay Dutt relieved by court'. 'Sirf Munna not a bhai' '13 saal ka vanvaas khatam' 'although found guilty for possession of armory, Sanjay can breathe a sigh of relief as all the TADA charges against him are withdrawn'. Then many personalities like Salman Khan said, 'He is a good person. We knew he will come out clean'. Mr. Big B said, "Dutt's family and our family have relations for years; he's a good kid. He is like an elder brother to Abhishek". His sister Priya Dutt said, "we can sleep well tonight. It's a great relief".
In other news, Parliament was mad at the Indian team for performing badly; Greg Chappell said something; Shah Rukh Khan replaces Amitabh in KBC and other such stuff. But most of the emphasis was given on Sanjay Dutt's "phoenix-like" comeback from the ashes of terrorist charges.
Surfing through the channels, one news on BBC startled me. It read, "Hisbul Mujahidin's most wanted terrorist 'Sohel Faisal' killed in Anantnag, India. An Indian Major leading the operation lost his life in the process. Four others are injured.
It was past midnight, I started visiting the stupid Indian channels, but Sanjay Dutt was still ruling. They were telling how Sanjay pleaded to the court, saying 'I'm the sole bread earner for my family', 'I have a daughter who is studying in the US', and so on. Then they showed how Sanjay was not wearing his lucky blue shirt while he was hearing the verdict and also how he went to every temple and prayed for the last few months. A suspect in the Mumbai bomb blasts, convicted under the armory act, was being transformed into a hero.
Sure, Sanjay Dutt has a daughter; sure, he did not do any terrorist activity. Possessing an AK47 is considered too elementary in the terrorist community, and also, one who possesses an AK47 has a right to possess a pistol, so that again is not such a big crime; sure, Sanjay Dutt went to all the temples.
Sure, he did a lot of Gandhigiri, but then...
Major Manish H Pitambare got the information from his sources about the terrorists' whereabouts. Wasting no time, he attacked the camp, killed Hisbul Mujahidin's supremo, and in the process lost his life to the bullets fired from an AK47. He is survived by a wife and daughter (just like Sanjay Dutt) who's only 18 months old.
Major Manish never said 'I have a daughter' before he took the decision to attack the terrorists in the darkest of nights. He never thought about having a family and he being the bread earner. No news channel covered this since they were too busy hyping a former drug addict, a suspect who's linked to bomb blasts which killed hundreds. Their aim was to show how he defied the TADA charges, and they were so successful that his conviction in possession of armory had no meaning. They also concluded that his parents in heaven must be happy and proud of him.
Parents of Major Manish are still living, and they have to live the rest of their lives without their beloved son. His daughter won't ever see her daddy again.
So guys, please forward this message around so that the media knows which news to give importance, as it is a shame for us since this Army Major's death news was given by a foreign TV channel!!!
If you believe in it, don't feel shy in forwarding it.
I REALLY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE ABOVE.

Hi, samp....
Well, I can sense the anger in you over the freakish news that the Indian channels have to blurt out when someone is giving their lives for the nation.
Well, truly, our soldiers deserve a lot more respect and applause than what they have been getting. They are true-life heroes unlike their much-hyped reel heroes.
