Major Manish Pitambare, the great son of India, laid down his life while eliminating terrorists in Anantnag(J&K). People came across this news on a foreign news site(bbc), and not on an Indian one. Indian media was too busy with Cricket, Bollywood and Politician's news, and thought this news was not worthy enough. SHAME ON INDIAN MEDIA, which don't know that true heroes like Major Manish Pitambare are the only force that is keeping India and Indians alive. Indian media must stop reporting stupid news and start covering important news like this. Please help me in let them realize this.

Well said...but this funda is not going to end...it will go on because there are people who are interested in things like this....shame on our media..... If somebody asked Bachan's and Rais to spend money for some charity rather wasting it for celebrations. Atleast some empty bellies would have filled. Big B spoiled his father's name.

Hi Mukesh, You are absolutely right I also feel our Indian media has reached its lowest level ever. They are very busy in what%u2019s happening in bollywood or politics why can%u2019t they reach out to people why can%u2019t they lead a revolution to build a new India by awaking the PEOPLE OF INDIA. PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN SOWRD.

There are thousands of weddings taking place in India with even more pomp and luxury. When famous personalities wed it is always public curiosity. This wedding for us Indians is like the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Dina for UK. For that wedding, the whole world paid attention on TV. Can't we at least enjoy this without writing some really nasty comments? Be happy for people then people will be happy for you.

I had considered rediff a good site but lately seen few bad coverages...and it is making impression in my mind that it is not much different than hindi tv new channels like star news, aaj tak, india tv etc. a good alternative for rediff is http://news.google.com/news?ned=in try and see the difference.

Mukesh,
We enjoy such stupid news. It lets us post stupid comments. It is entertaining.
If you are so concerned about the situation in J&K, please go there and do something about it.
FYI, the situation in J&K is a sad result of the stupid sentimaentality of a bania like you called M K Gandhi. I know you can't do anything about it now.
Now go back to the BBC website and ponder on the damage you banias have been wreaking on India over the last 60 years!!

Rahul, it was very sad to see your comments. This simply shows the fact that ppl don't see what is right or wrong, but see only that who is saying it. If the same thing would have been written by some 'Mukesh Khanna', your response would have been totally different. Its this cast based idelogy which is creating havoc on India, and people like you who propagate it and don't want to get rid of it. Anyway, Major Manish was not from my cast, so you could atleast say few words for him.
RE:Salute to Major Manish.
by Mukesh Garg on Apr 19, 2007 01:32 AM
Rahul, grow up. Its easy to keep blaming others, but let me ask you this...after 1947, there were ample chances to get rid of Pakistan from Kashmir, but it was not done. M K Gandhi was not alive any more, and none of the Banias was present in Indian politics, then who is responsible for this? Why didn't your community people took a stand to improve the situation at that time? What could I K Gujral do when he became a Prime Minister. My friend, don't talk like Shias/Sunnis fighting each other. There cud be several -ve things that can be said about any given community, but its better to do something positive then keep rattling. In your 2nd post also, you didn't pay any tribute to Major Manish.

Hey man, I am replying to your messages, and not reporting it as abuse. May be you did it yourself, or someone else did. Keep writing, and I can keep replying for another hour. Then I will leave as it will be time to go. No comments for Major Manish in your 3rd post as well.

RE:Salute to Major Manish. by Mukesh Garg on Apr 19, 2007 01:57 AM Rahul, you can only keep rattling and thats all about you. Going by your logic, and so called expensive stuff, is simply giving excuses. Accept it that your community haven't done anything good. I am a person who do not agree with what Gandhi/Nehru did during 1947. Going by my choice, all Pakis shud have been kicked out of J&K and India shud have taken command there. But, whatever happened, does not mean that it was a fault of any one community. This is one thing that you will not understand. If you could, we would be free from the biggest threat that India is facing today. Just because Harshad Mehta did a big scam, would you accept that all Punjabis are like him. Or our college principal, (K.K.Mehta), who ate most of college funds...does he proves that all punjabis are like him. I do not agree with these arguments, if you want to you can.
RE:Salute to Major Manish.
by Mukesh Garg on Apr 19, 2007 02:35 AM
Hey, you are blaming someone saying he started some malpractice which you are following? Why don't your community stop it, instead of propagating it? Moreover, you are spreading castism, the root cause of all evil. Don't blame others, you are doing worse.

It's true that media reports it because we want to read. But it is also the responsibility of the media to drive the nation and the people of the nation towards a bright future providing useful information and most importantly prioritizing it.
Media is a strong force. They play a vital role in shaping the nation and its future. I can bet you that Indian media does not represent the best or not even a better one. I live abroad and depend on websites like rediff to learn about India. As any other Indian living abroad I also need some strong force that can teach me and my kids ( not born and brought up in India) to learn some valuable information about our mother land.
I am not against the media for reporting Ash-Abi marriage but I definitely am against the media for not reporting news like Major Manish Pitambare.
Hope the Indian media realizes their importance and define some standard and quality in what they provide to the public.
And Mr. Rahul Everyday people die but only a few have the luxuary of being crowned a hero. Just because I am not in J&K dosen't mean that I don't care for them. Remember you have your name as Rahul and you are a hindu only because of great men like Major Manish Pitambare.
RE:Salute to Major Manish.
by Mukesh Garg on Apr 19, 2007 02:02 AM
Rahul, there are many ppl including me who do not support Gandhi/Nehru 1947 Kashmir acts. But you are making an entire community responsible for one person's acts....that is kind of thinking which has done most damage to India. So believe me, go and confirm with your teacher about this, people like you are the biggest traitors.
RE:Salute to Major Manish.
by Mukesh Garg on Apr 19, 2007 02:13 AM
the same proverb fits on you. Stop talking this girlish fits and tantrums thing, Why don't you reply to my question - Because of Harshad Mehta, shoud we assume the all Punjabis are like him and hence you are alos like him. Going by your logic, you are a traitor.
RE:Salute to Major Manish.
by Mukesh Garg on Apr 19, 2007 03:45 AM
Rahul, you are a person who do not look at own mistakes, but blame all others for anything that goes wrong. Many ppl in Bania community did their worse, and many did good. Same thing with Punjabis is true. So, whats the point in talking about communities ... in today's world we talk about individuals. Think something better.
RE:Salute to Major Manish.
by Mukesh Garg on Apr 19, 2007 04:01 AM
Rahul, I want to let you know that I do not support the wrong doings of people who belong to Bania community. If I have the power to take decision, then I will hang each and every one of them. But believe me, if it is done, I know many bad banias will be hanged, and so will happen to many punjabis as well. As far as doing business is concerned, its not only Banias who do business. So, you check it who all are doing business with Pak. I believe that lots of ppl from various communities made mistakes on J&K as well as other issues in India. Banias were definitely part of those wrong-doing ppl, and I will vote for the worst to be done to those Banias. My only request to you is, do not think everyone is same if he belongs to a particular community. Even after seeing so many corrupt and dishoonest punjabis, I will never say that all punjabis are like that. Now its upto you how you want to see the world. Otherwise, on one issue or another, you will keep blaming entire communities. Hope you get a good sleep and a better talking sense.

already send tuns of group mails.. This buggers so called dogs at bollywood stars doors will not realise what they are for..
people may have so much money to travel in cars and planes and even give for security, also more for jewellery, but when it comes to clothing, suddenly things may appear too precious which even superstars the world over cannot afford on a special occasion. They may need to go to deaddiction centers ... the list is endless , isnt it?
Ash my break marriage: Media is speculating that Ash may break this marriage because of abhishek dancing on Bidijalaile. Its because this is the song on which originally Vivek (Ash's ex-boyfriend) danced. Mediapersons are eagerly waiting for nest improvement and will bring you the minute to minute details of the next development.;-)

its no doubt useless, but did u tell that or are those people who are celebrating the wedding know they are useless ?? And also , do u have the guts to keep people out of their lives as they are keeping u and v and all people out of thier property now???
Looks like there are no important issues like power and crime than to highlight this wedding. Indian media doesnt know what is their main role in society is.
Such a waste of time. The people who appreciate this have no othe better stuff to do ....

Since you know it, why don't you start loudspeaking the news your way at a railway station to start with. Who knows, you can become famous. Those who want will read about Ash and AB and those who like your views will come to the station to listen to you.
Your attitude is that of a dog in the hay. The dog does not eat the hay and barks when the cattle comes to eat it. Poor Poor Poor Mr Sushant Kudle. ( By the way, since you sound non-filmy, Poor Poor Poor was a dialogue made famous by Helen when she tells Shammi Kapoor not to go outside the hotel so that he does not get into trouble. This was in a movie called Teesri Manzil )
And you are good at contradicting yourself too. If all others are wasing time, what the hell are you doing by writing about it, Haan? At least they are wasting time on something they like. Look at you. You waste time on something that you don't even like.
Only thing I can say is good luck to you with changing your attitude so that you know how to respect others.
Media is covering coz people want to see and read these all things. Even most of the here who are showing disguise on such coverings login to rediff to post message and read this article before posting it. Now thats what rediff want and you are giving them. Why they don't cover it?? Its bread and butter of media and we all are providing it. So stop activing hypocrite coz either you read in anguish or in excitement, in anyway you are interested in reading.
Why do you think that reporting a celebrity marriage is pathetic? Everybody in the world does it and if you are not interested do click on the links to read and waste your time. Let those who are interested read and have fun.

I am an Indian from NY and I am enjoying this glorious marriage. If you dont like it remote is in your hand change the channel. I think you are sick you are worried about indian economy I can bet you dont have basic knowledge of economy. There are various elements that affect economy including a grad wedding. TV channels are covering the wedding because they are getting high TRP and when a channel gets high TRP that channel sells more airtime to the sponsors. And of course when sponsors pay hefty amount they target a boost in their sales. When the overall sales increases the govt get more revenues and it comes back the people.Its a chain and its called marketing force. If you study pyramid of needs you will learn entertainment is also a human need and if people are getting entertained by covering these marriage there is nothing wrong in it. research shows that people who love fun and entertainment are more successful than people who are picky and always bother about rational issues. So dude your reaction is kinda bullshit.

He will decide where he should live. For all the growth that's happening in India, let's see whether India can sustain the growth. Then we will decide whether we should come back or not. As it is, an indian earning that much will have to pay a heftier sum than that to get a decent home in the IT centers of India. Therefore many people are better off where they are, OK?
