India lives a glorious variety and not a debatable diversity


   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.
