The incident of so called 'terrorist' attack(bomb blast) at Delhi, is hitting the head lines.... 20 DEAD, 90 INJURED, NATION'S SECURITY AT RISK.....One can imagine the time and space that the incident 'occupies' on TV and News print. One can also imagine the flooding of letters to the editor, debates and discussions, opportunistic political statements demanding ban on extremist(they always only mean Islamic) groups, introduction of stringent laws against terrorism.
But ongoing violence in Orissa, even worse than Delhi's bomb blasts never threatened nations security and integrity. Incidents of arson, rape, killing, ransacking and burning of Churches and houses and running for life, forceful conversion(to Hinduism) attracted no headlines, occupied no relative time and space, provoked no debates, discussions and statements. Media has become partial and political in reporting. Often the truth is unreported. Now, the conspiracy is on to prove that violence is not of communal, but of ethnic violence between Pana dalits(Christians) and kandha tribals(Hindus). Culprits are left free and they are on spree of creating a Hindu society based on Hindu'tva'(Hindutva different from Hindu) ideology, that would extinguish all minorities and secular forces.
Now it is the time for us to act on to save the plurality of India. We must make the disinterested Media to recognize and realize our voice. Each one of us should take the responsibility to voice out our views on this anti-Christian violence(I mean on any communal violence at all times), on our right to freedom of religion, on our Indianess and on any thing that is related with the issue. Below the email ids of different media houses are facilitated. Each one of us are welcomed to express his/her views. May be the same view can be mailed to all ids. These views may get published or may not get published, but Media gets the pulse of the vulnerable and feels pressurized to be on the side of truth. This may be a small step to protest and express in a big way... Lets make it happen!!!
