One of the richest industrialists in the country celebrated the marriage in his family with enormous pomp and show , spending several crore of rupees. The marriage was attended by several so called " big shots" including the former U N Secretary General, former British Prime Minister and several politicians, cinema stars and others in India.
In a country with more than 200 million people living below poverty line and not knowing where the next meal would come from, is not the above marriage a vulgar exhibition of wealth ? Certainly, the rich industrialist and those who attended the marriage have no thought about the millions of poor people in India.
Obviously, anyone become so rich by excessive profiteering , often by adopting un savoury methods and even indulging in corrupt practices.
The huge richness is due to the capability for exploiting the opportunities with high self interest and with total disregard for the need of the others.
Instead of reducing the price of the products and services to make less profit so that the people will be benefited, they want to amass all money for themselves.
Think for a moment how poor people view such marriages and the contempt that they develop for such vulgar exhibition of wealth.
What is particularly disgusting is that nobody has condemned such vulgar exhibition of wealth and media is deafeningly silent.

Support Mr. Venkataraman on your thoughts. The Trusteeship approach to entrepreneurship and industry is required in a society to make it stronger. But in market approach we merely look at the people as market. Often the low price strategy is balanced with exploiting the existing policy provisions or creating one in the parliament by virtue of your M power helping in waiver of taxes etc. In the long run its the people who pays through their noses. At the other end we see a family where 600 people are employed to take care of the comfort of 4 people and of course those lavish marriages, pomp and ceremony.

It is exactly this socialist and povertarian mindset that has kept 30% of India's population in dire poverty and another 40% at just above subsistence levels. In India, we write "shubh labh" at the entrance of our houses, businesses, etc - but, this imported socialist mentality among policy makers has destroyed this country.
As an aside, there was a CLSA report that Indian weddings contribute 10% of India's GDP - and, obviously these are all the "lavish weddings" - have you considered the amount of jobs and income that are actually generated by these weddings and that they are a much fairer redistribution of wealth than taxes?
As long as this kind of envious and socialist mentality still pervades our "society", I really see no hope for India's poor - because, at its core, its an anti-progress mentality.

[IAC#RG] IS NEWS THIEVERY BY JOURNALISTS LEGITIMATE ?
To
India Against Corruption
IS NEWS THIEVERY BY JOURNALISTS LEGITIMATE ?
Whether one would like to admit it or not, in recent times, all over the world, most of the people have developed suspicions and misgivings about the neutrality of the journalists and their commitment to fair journalism. There is rapidly spreading view that media is a commercial activity with profit motive and news and views are products for sale. It is clearly evident that media is steadily going under the control of business houses and politicians and religious bodies , who often have vested interests or business motives or both.
In USA, it is clearly evident that a section of the media has deep prejudice against President Trump , often using vituperative language to criticise him and publishing motivated stories. During the last Presidential election, several leading newspapers and journals in USA openly campaigned against Trump and wanted him to be defeated. Trump won and became the President , proving that the views of the media do not carry faith and conviction or any weight amongst people any more.
This situation is no different in many other free and democratic countries including India. The conditions in U K too is no different. Of course, in countries like China and Singapore, media is not allowed to criticise the government and the media is largely controlled by the government.
In India, in recent times, many section of print and visual media carry out what they call as investigative journalism and in the process, publish unverified news mixed with the views with what appears to be ulterior motives and objectives. It is often said that in this process of investigative journalism where serious allegations are made against one or the other , the journalists say that they will not reveal the source of the information or conclusively prove the information that they have given with firm evidence. In this media exercise, accused persons, who may even be really innocent , suffer heavily. While they can go to the court filing defamation suits against the media , the courts take several years to give judgement and the media and the journalists go virtually scot free.
The media personnel say that any attempts to prevent the media from stating and writing whatever they want, ( whether right or wrong or true or false) amount to suppression and curtailment of freedom of press and media rights.
The time has come now to decide whether the freedom enjoyed by the media and the journalists should be unlimited and total. It is also necessary to introspect as to whether it is ethical practice and in the true spirit of honest journalism to publish articles and news without adequate proof and without stating the alternate views and not giving details about the source of information.
What is thievery ? Stealing gold or silver or money from household or elsewhere is thievery. Similarly, stealing news or official papers from any organization and government departments to publish news in a way that it satisfies the whims and fancies of the particular journalists should also be considered as nothing but thievery. It may often happen that such news may be collected by the journalists and media house by bribing or corrupt methods. In the name of media freedom, the source of information is withheld by media. Is such acts of journalists any better than the acts of those who steal gold or silver or money from any household or elsewhere ?
Obviously, media freedom is now taken to an absurd level by journalists, claiming freedom without responsibility to indulge in detective exercises to "unveil the facts" .
With widespread feelings amongst the cross section of people all over the world that media houses and journalists now only rarely remain unprejudiced or motiveless, the level of freedom enjoyed by the media need to be closely scrutinized and reassessed.
Of course, the media enjoy the privilege to publish or unpublish any news or views, appropriate or otherwise. The debate for or against the unlimited freedom for media also has to be carried out only in the media, whether print or visual. Will the journalists of today allow fair and honest media debate on this subject remains to be seen.
Any way, there is no doubt that media and journalists are under trial all over the world now.
