New York Times Barks Against Indian Government
The most Equal among the American Media or that is what it thinks of itself, made some subtle barkings through clever advertisement remarks against the Government of India. It said that technology has become a ”hindrance” due to the Indian government’s growing efforts to ”police online speech and media discourse have raised difficult questions about balancing issues of security and privacy with free speech.” The position it said includes coverage of India’s neighbouring countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Maldives.
The said advertisement by the New York Times states the requirement of an experienced journalist to lead economic and business coverage of India has several critical remarks about the country and its government.
Well NYT and all those whom it represents should know that though Govt of India is not in the habit of running prisons on the lines of Abu Gharib and Guantanama Bay, it still will not tolerate any entity defying laws passed by the Parliament of India and still dream of doing business in India. All such entities will just be bundled out of the countries, even if they belong to the phylem called Media. We Indians are surely very very intolerant of any business entity trying to act like the modern version of BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY.
The American daily has called the border tension between India and China a ”drama”, where thousands of soldiers have been facing off since April on the Line of Actual Control (LAC), or the de facto border, including at the glacial Pangong Tso lake. Well NYT should know that the High Altitude Drama has been noted with Concern by the Chinese too. In comparison they treat the incursions by the vessels of 7TH Fleet in the South China Sea as fishing voyages or at the best some sailing regatta.
On the other hand, the Indian Army just stopped the mighty PLA in its tracks and gave it a bloody nose. A clash that erupted in the Galwan Valley in June when 20 Indian soldiers were killed, left around 40 Chinese as dead and around 43 a badly wounded. This was the first combat losses on the disputed LAC in more than four decades. Has the US Armed Forces dared any such thing in Taiwan Strait or South China Sea?
India and China fought a war in 1962 and the border remains undefined. India said Chinese troops had intruded deep into its side of the LAC last April, triggering the most serious stand-offs in decades.
Next by calling India a ‘melting pot of people and languages grappling with difficult questions of “ class and wealth disparity”, NYT’s job description claims that hundreds of millions of people are struggling for a better life for their children, and India’s once fast-growing economy is showing signs of stalling. Well NYT should worry more about the class struggle of the Negros or black Americans, red Indians and the Hispanics rather than the Cast / class system of India of which they have not an iota of understanding.
NYT should also not worry about the Indian Economy, rather it should concentrate on the USA economy being badly under siege by the Chinese economy.
Talking about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, NYT says, ”India’s future now stands at a crossroads” as the leader’s vision puts him at ”odds with the interfaith, multicultural goals of modern India’s founders.” It seems NYT has forgotten everything and is again trying to comment on our PM. Last time the same US media had run down Narendra Modi when he was CM of the Indian State of Gujarat. Even the US Govt had decreed that NO VISA will be issued to him.
Well both the American Govt and the US Media had to literally “lick their Spit off the street“ when he had to be welcomed as the PM of India.
