Why
India does not need a media narrative lexicon defined ‘Secularism’ or any lessons on nurturing
diversity from media ?
1. Let
media be frank enough to accept that they gave a new connotation the word ‘secularism’
in India to fit their and their pay masters’ narrative i.e. Non-Hindu
appeasement and Hindu traditions and cultural bashing [ in certain issues rightly
and in some wrongly].
2. The real Indian psyche sees no
diversity but breathes and lives in enormous variety.
So, no one, much less media journalists, need to teach about diversity to
India. India revels and reveals itself
through its variety and not some ideologically hammered homogeneity through social
engineering by politics, religion, economic systems etc.
3. India
has been naturally diverse and nurturing and nudging about nicely with
diversity/variety with certain aberrations here and there and a few exceptions
which the media loves to gloat over because sensationalism triggers adrenal instantly
whereas sense can review, rationalize and render a sense of balance but may not
get brownie points to media.
4. It
smacks of typical journalistic arrogance and usual leftist tendency to slide inappropriate
appropriations of lofty terms like ‘liberal, universal, blab la.. .’ the following
sentence vindicates that ‘leftist steeped in universalism’. [I call this The Telesis of
terminology and the creation of contrived expressions].
5. While
majority of media journalists have been and can only work with templates based
on left oriented ideological extrapolations with a rider these templates can be
compromised only with selective bias according to the nation, region, religion
etc.
6. Having
said all these there are limits social engineering effected through any top
down or macro control [as has been proved through the failure of left ideology dominated
social systems].
7. Any change or perhaps, all changes happen through bottoms
up or as a result of organic development as Matt Ridley observes , ‘
emerges from the interactions of millions, not from the plans of a few’.
8.
So, however much the left leaning media may
wish to set the frame as well as design the contents inside the frame of its fancied
templates, evolutionary trends will organically shape the nature and scheme of
things.
9. Evolution has ensured that human beings as a
species have moved from kuru disease contacting cannibals to cyber gurus. Everything
in every domain constantly evolves as excellently brought out by Matt Ridley in
his wonderful book ' Evolution of everything'
10.
Life in its entirety in general is a mere train in the grand
unending and unknown track of evolution.
Human
beings unfortunately lack the humility to accept this because of their
conscious awareness, acquired knowledge, all these stored in memory and their
propensity to control and dominate everything and everyone.
There
is nothing either permanent or absolute or perfect to something as temporal or
mortal as human life- as one among the many species- more so to individual
human beings.
Everything
is either intended or unintended manifestation in the process called evolution.
Life is
lively and is always in motion and evolution operates with its own dynamics to
effect changes constantly.
So, it
is difficult to grab any of them but we can grasp and understand the dynamics
of both through various methods and the loads of existing literature and
documents available in various subjects.
Therefore,
life in all its wonder has to be enjoyed and lived and evolution in its entire
splendor has to be experienced as an inevitable metamorphosis.
That’s
why even any definition with axiomatic certitudes eludes what we mean by terms
like Reality, Faith and Truth because everything in life, or to be precise life
itself on the whole, is an unmapped atlas which gets its maps based on our
choices, beliefs, actions, reactions, thoughts, attitudes and understanding and
so on.
