The Indian media’s focus is not on India’s massive poverty, massive unemployment, appalling level of child malnutrition ( every second child in India is malnourished, according to Global Hunger Index, and the situation has deteriorated in recent years, India slipping from position number 101 to 107 of the 125 countries surveyed https://www.downtoearth.org.in/health/global-hunger-index-india-slips-to-107-from-101-behind-all-asian-countries-except-war-torn-afghanistan-85483 ), skyrocketing prices of food and other essential commodities, almost total lack of proper healthcare and good education for the masses, etc
Its focus is on irrelevant issues or trivialities like the recent death of Karishma Kapoor’s ex husband, or Kareena Kapoor, or her husband Saif Ali Khan’s injury

The Indian media deliberately diverts attention of the people from the real issues mentioned above to non issues like lives of film stars, cricket, modelling, astrology, petty politics ( which has sunk to the lowest level ), etc

The Indian media is largely sold out, and has lost respect of the people. It uses its freedom to deceive people, spread communalism, casteism, superstitions, and jingoism ( as in the recent Indo-Pak conflict ), and seeks to divert attention of the people from core issues like price rise, poverty, unemployment, lack of healthcare, etc to non issues like lives of filmstars, petty politics, cricket etc

The Indian media thrives on ‘mirch masaala’ and sensationalism, often with scant regard for the truth, and plays an anti people role, instead of serving the people’s interests
What has happened of late in India is that the economic situation has taken a sharp nose dive, with steep decline in manufacturing and mounting unemployment.

The Roman Emperors used to say ” If you cannot give the people bread, give them circuses ”.
Similarly, the Indian media says ” If the Indian people cannot be given jobs, healthcare, cheap food, etc, give them lives of film stars ( like Kareena Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan etc ) fashion parades, cricket, astrology, etc and polarise society, by spreading communal and caste hatred ”.
Long live the Indian media !
