Police & Print Media

  Even police is involved in all these trading of human organs, when protectors 
are becoming predators, what one can expect from law? Every year about 70, 000 
cases registered against police itself; more shameful is 63% of these cases 
close without hearing. Few days back (16th Feb 2008) there was news of rape of 
12 year girl by police in UP, another news was rape of 4 year old girl. Even 
Indian military is not behind raping innocent girls in Kashmir!! Will India 
ever be able to stop all this; a big question mark is there on this question? 
14 million cases are still pending in the Indian courts! (Source- Times of 
India, March 21st, 2002). Two million women are raped each year. (Source- Book 
named CASTEISM- the Eighth Worst Wonder by Dr. S L Virdi). These all rape cases 
are going to increase only, it can be seen from - According to Nellore (Andhra 
Pradesh) District Crime Record Bureau’s comparative statement for the last 3 
years, grave crime on women including rape, murder,
 kidnap & harassment increased while the cases of molestation & bigamy remained 
more or less the same. Kidnapping of women & girls has been steadily increased 
from 25 in 2005 to 35 in 2006 & 47 last year (2007). Cases of harassment have 
also increased from 128, 148 & 168 in the respective years. Total numbers of 
rape cases in 2005 were 32; those become 33 in 2006 & increased further to 42 
in 2007.  Molestation cases increased 166 in 2006 to 167 in 2007. Conviction 
rate is as low as about 25%. 
   
- Separate kitchens for Yadavs, Rajputs, Bhumihars, Brahmins and Harijans at 
police stations of Patna - (IBN report, 5th Feb, 2007), this news showed caste 
also matters in police stations, so this is also to be kept in mind while 
implementing anything new in police stations. Have India made so many 
provisions to solve all these? These cases are going to increase only not going 
to decrease, so what steps will India take? Does India have so many required 
judges, lawyers & courts? Upto the time 3 P’s (police, politicians & print 
media) don’t change nothing is going to change & if not changed we all will see 
worse effect in coming years.
  
Almost all UP, Bihar jails are filled with poor SC/ST or minority community 
people (Muslims), it’s not like that only these people are responsible for the 
crimes, but police or administrative only book these people. See this

These SC/ST people are poor that they afford to pay much so they end their life 
in jail only!! It’s also alarming & there is a need of exact & proper actions 
in this regard otherwise innocents will continue dying inside jails without any 
reason. 


Coming to the role of print or electronic media, also all newspapers & news 
channels have made this business. These news channels are only interested in 
making money, they don’t have any interest in giving right picture to society.  
 
Brahmins alone, the survey found, hold 49 % of the top jobs in national 
journalism. If non-`dwija' forward castes like Marathas, Patels, Jats and 
Reddys are added, the total forward caste share stands at 88%.
  
OBCs, who are estimated to constitute around 40 per cent of the population, 
account for an "abysmally low" 4% of top media jobs. In the English print 
media, OBCs account for just one per cent of top jobs and in the Hindi print 
media 8%. Muslims too, the survey noted, are "severely under-represented in the 
national media": they account for only 3% among the key decision makers in the 
national media, compared with 13.4 per cent in the country's population.
  
English electronic media does best, with women accounting for 32 per cent of 
the top jobs. Women account for 16 per cent of top editorial positions in the 
English print media and 14 per cent and 11 per cent in the Hindi print media 
and electronic media.
  
"No Dalit or Adivasi among top 300 journalists" Ref: The Hindu, June 05, 2006
  
When the news channels can peep into anyone personal life, no-one understand 
why they keep quite over caste atrocities? Is it so all national newspapers & 
news channels in the hands of upper caste people?  Electronic & print media 
need to play a important role if India want any change.
  
In Dr B R Ambedkar’s words "In my opinion, this is the appropriate time, to 
describe the present condition of Indian Journalism, Once; the Journalism was a 
profession in India. Now it has become a business. There is nothing moral in 
that, than producing soap. Journalism does not consider itself a responsible 
advisor of people. In India the first of ail and most important is that, 
Journalism should consider it obligatory to publish only such news which are 
true, also criticize Government policies from angle of the larger interest of 
people, without any fear, it must criticize and correct those, who are trading 
wrong path, whether they are big or small men. But to make somebody hero and 
worship him, has become the main role of journalism. Under such circumstances, 
the news has been replaced by sensations; logical ideas have been replaced by 
unwarranted anxieties. Instead of touching the hearts of responsible citizens, 
it is now instigating the irresponsible people"
