you threw a challenge to me whether I can show one channel that discusses the common mans problems.
Well, what about the Arnab channel ? How can you defend the Arnab channel (which has just one theme in it - the hyndu muxlim question) ?
Show me one instance when Arnab Goswamy discussed the massive poverty prevailing in India, the true reasons behind it (lack of land reforms, etc.), lack of implementation of minimum wages rules, exploitation of unorganized labour, lack of sufficient investment by the governments in public education and public healthcare, etc.
Show me one instance when Arnab discussed these matters, can you ?
Other channels have given at least cursory attention to these most important issues, though they too are guilty of not doing enough !
Can you respond with facts and figures ?
Note : I am NOT referring to the issues relating to the middle classes - who make up about 20 to 25 % of the Indian population ! I am talking about the remaining 75 %, the poor, the desperately poor, the grindingly poor and the destitute !
Arnab has only hard work as his investment which resulted in such acceptability. He does not invent intelligence out of illiteracy, nor merit out of mediocrity.
If Arnab commands such respect and following it is because he has earned it. If people are following him so much, it is because they find value in what he is saying. If people are not supporting Amnesty, it is because they are not finding much value in Amnesty. Please do not underestimate the intelligence of the common populace of this country.
We are intelligent enough to foster a democracy in a region surrounded by autocracy. We were also intelligent enough to topple the corrupt, inept government and bring in a honest, capable man as the PM of this country.
And Amnesty did not contribute an ounce to that effort.
I do not agree with the views of Mr. Patel. He is writing against only because there are questions on the controversial role of amnesty international in India
HOW DOES ONE BELIEVE THAT MR AAKAR PATEL IS NOT ON THE PAYROLL OF ANY OTHER COUNTRY WHICH SEEKS TO KEEP INDIA ON LEASH ? HOW DOES ONE VERIFY AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL CREDENTIALS ?
TV news, controlled by mega corporates has been doing tremendous damage to US society for many decades and the same thing is happening now in India. The pretension by the media that corruption is the only issue in our society brought BJP to power. Communalism of BJP is much more serrious than corruption of Congress.

It is not that the BJP is not corrupt either, is it ?
If anything, one can discern the fond hope in the BJP to cover up their acts of theft with acts of communal overreach !
After all, communal polarization easily diverts the focus of gullible commoners, right ?
And that would be an ideal alibi to hide their corruption, right ?

you are living in fools paradise. Whenever and wherever BJP is in power,they are communal. Out of power they are not.
Grow up guys. DOn't get carried away. Use your brain, if you have.

Non implementation of laws is another serious problem in India and this is the cause of gang rapes,murders etc. Things are getting worse on this front after BJP came to power.

Is congress not communal? COngress's communalism is much more dangerous than so-called BJP's communalism..Infact congress is whole and sole responsible for making this country communally polarized by starting appeasement of minorities and punishing the majority religion.

Implementation of criminal laws i.e. Law and order is a state prerogative. How does BJP in centre responsible for it??
When one flips across TV channels, there is only 1 channel that can be easily distinguished just from the nature of the topic being discussed in it, and that is the Arnab channel.
While other news channels such as NDTV, India today, CNN, etc. feature a wide range of topics and debates in them are relatively less marked by interruptions by those who debate, all one can hear in the Arnab channel (even when one hurriedly jams the remote to cross his channel fast on the way elsewhere) are shrieks of hyndu......muxlim......hyndu......terrorixt......hyndu......Pakistan......muxlim......terror......hyndu......anti-national... ..muxlim.......!
Pray, wont the man ever get tired with this monotone (even if he derives such good TRPs by having the stupxidest segment among Indians - the North Indian middle class - eating out of his hands) ?
And oh, wont that stupxidest segment among all Indians - the North Indian middle class - ever come by at least a wee bit of common sense ??

Show me one channel which is discussing the common man problems..The people are used to only supporting particular party ideologies and not the other one..When you come across a challen which supports the other ideology also, you start jumping up and down..This is absolutely biased

mr patel just coz ur organisation is been discussed in that channel and exposing ur intent vis a vis india compared to other countries, u are branding him as negative. where were u all these days when arnab was debating for dalits in gujrat, in haryana? set your house right first before you delve into others matter. i feel arnab at times is irritating but he has a valid point each and everytime he debates an issue.
