Why media’s selective
vulgarism demeaning a nice emotion of ‘nationalism’?
[This whole write up is my reaction to the article at the end of this post which appeared in TOI
1.
No one with a sane mind or any nation or
any institution would advocate, admire and resort to war unless a specific
situation warrants it.
2.
Where is the same media when it secretes lot of fanatical anti- national script
writers?
3.
Being fanatical in anything is to be curtailed but that cannot be done
selectively.
4.
More so when it is a justifiable manifestation of emotional affinity to one’s
parents, children, spouse, favorite person in any field, one’s nation, one’s
love for a particular music, language or art etc.
5.
At this rate these selective script writers will start describing a parent
admiring the child’s actions as voyeurism.
6. These media perverts would term a five year
old boy returning home from school running and hugging his mother as Oedipus
complex and girl of similar age doing that to her father as Electra complex
because main stream media seem to pollute so much there is no perception at all,
only perversions.
7.
Why there is sudden spurt in main stream media’s frustrations and fetish for
anti-national venom?
8.
The terms one uses not only impacts the topic but reveals the ideological background
of the writer and may end up tarnishing the image of the media house.
9.
We the readers of reputed newspapers like TOI expect any virulent and valid
ideological criticism or educative promotional material but not porn-notional
venom, and that too against a very natural proud emotional manifestation called
nationalism.
10.
We the readers would like to know the definition of gratification and
satisfaction in the context of porn and war with all the nuances well laid out
for us to understand better.
11.
Anyone who enjoys using similes and metaphors would be well advised to read
Shakespeare or Kalidasa.
12.
Being critical, controversial, provocative, disruptive trend setting and even
gloating in a self appropriated illusionary world of intellectual insolence and
all other similar self appropriations are all the prerogatives of people who
get the platform of a media house.
13.
But to misuse that prerogative through
puerile portrayal revealing a putrefied mindset mostly emanating from some
petrified ideological impulse which has got pulverized in the field of
civilized evolution [which benefits human beings at large of which pride of
ancestry is a very positive inspiring emotion, though unfortunately lesser
mortals get intimidated by that.]
14.
Lack of sophistication in communications and lack of diplomacy in delivering a
hidden agenda reveals the frustrations and desperation to restore some
petrified ideology inside the sanctuaries of caged identity venerations.
15.
To rephrase the wonderful quotation that adorns the top of that page ‘The
ultimate weakness of vulgar and vituperative vocabulary is that it descends
into the drain and lets all the hidden ideology, that one tries hard to market
in the mall of main stream media manufactured opinions, also disappears from
the atlas of matured peoples’ radar of observations and perceptions’.
16.
Why the media masturbation with verbal diarrhoea tries its level best to spill its
secretion on a very nice feeling called ‘nationalism’?
