Firstly Thanks a lot for giving such a...Hi Shobhit<br /><br />Firstly Thanks a lot for giving such a patient and elaborate reply ! people who read this topic will get a better insight after reading this comment !<br />Loved it. Thanks<br />and Have gone thru the link u pasted . He says "Cartoons are just thoughts laid down in ink.<br />All of these are victim-less actions. " ----- IT SURPRISES ME HOW PEOPLE THINK writing , drawing , painting etc are victim less acts<br />RIDICULOUS!<br /><br />If they have good impact they all say art breathes life. Can change a person, if they have bad impact they would say its just a write up and drawing and victim less act. BAH!! I DONT BUY IT...<br /><br />this guy seems to be driven only by his belief that all those r harmless acts and will PAY DEAF EAR to all others comments/ suggestions. May be he is also a journo<br /><br /><br />This is the reason I HATE JOURNALISM. I wrote a long post in 2010 but now when I interacted with a journo student like I told in Blog. I beleive he is still studying . Not even a full pledged journalist who says he is jsut passing the information... On his FB profile I Saw a person Mostly from same religion as his saying there is nothing LIKE THAT IN MY RELIGION!<br /><br />I felt outrageous seeing that hence this post.<br /><br />I too am not orthodox or believe in all aspects framed by "people" in any religion but I HATE when people try to defame some thing in the hoodwink of journalism<br /><br />HATE THEM! GOod to know ur a doc :) and there is quite a possibility that many turn to psychos..<br /><br />IRRESPONSIBLE ACTIONS should not be spared!!<br /><br />thanks A LOT for dropping by!<br /><br />dO KEEP reading<br />would love to see better and clear views like this in future:)<br /><br />AfshanAfshan Shaikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254121368798290377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-43551104264399135132012-10-02T17:18:50.577+05:302012-10-02T17:18:50.577+05:30Hello Afshan,
I completely agree with your views ...Hello Afshan,<br /><br />I completely agree with your views here. There is a big difference between 'presenting' and 'provoking'. And people seem to use provocation to their advantage for publicity. Like you rightly pointed out about the Guwahati incident, why was there a need for news channels to repeatedly play the video to convey the ghastly incident ? Of course, they felt that people would be hooked to their channel if they show the video. Similarly the cartoonist who made the indecent cartoons could have put his point across without insulting the national symbols. But somewhere he knew that scandalizing would only help with publicity for him.<br /><br />Just to digress a bit from the point, I came across a blog where the author had written about his right to insult national symbols which according to him came under his right to freedom of expression. When I tried to reason with him, he came up with things like, in a free country, one has to live with being insulted. And as long is one is not physically hurt, one should behave as an adult and deal with being emotionally hurt. When I pointed out the fact that there are lots of fanatics in every society who take to violence just because of someone’s abusive expressions and then they hurt other innocent people, he said that it’s their problem. He doesn’t care if someone kills someone else because of what he says. It is his right to express and abuse whatever and whoever. Being a doctor myself, I soon realized that this author was suffering from several psychiatric disorders and left immediately. <br /><br />You can take a look at the post here :<br /><br />http://www.bhagwad.com/blog/2012/rights-and-freedoms/national-symbols-impossible-to-force-someone-to-respect-them.html<br /><br />I am personally non-religious. But I believe in all religions. And though I may question some aspects of religious rituals on the basis of logic, that doesn’t mean I will abuse the religion or its followers. <br /><br />People who think they are doing their job by reporting (under the excuse of journalism) or those who express their twisted views (under the right to freedom of expression) without thinking about the consequences are equally insane. And I can only suggest that you don’t try to reason with such people as more often than not, they suffer from psychiatric problems. You’ll only end up irritating yourself.<br /><br />This is my first visit to your blog. I’ll be following your posts now. :-)<br /><br />All the best. <br />Shobhithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808758234754141383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-9919699798779676242012-10-02T07:39:07.774+05:302012-10-02T07:39:07.774+05:30@Jay: Firstly welcome to my blog and Ya I always t...@Jay: Firstly welcome to my blog and Ya I always try to appreciate the efforts of JOURNALISTS and ultimately hate them more n more!!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and acknowledging :)<br />I loved ur blog !<br /><br />Keep readingAfshan Shaikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254121368798290377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-32289923462695743002012-10-02T02:05:11.272+05:302012-10-02T02:05:11.272+05:30Very true what you have depicted here Afshan :)
Re...Very true what you have depicted here Afshan :)<br />Reporting standards have gone down, people are doing everything for the publicity, promotion and TRP, whether cheap or expensive. <br />True journalism is supposed to give a complete objective view of matters and with no biases to a particular stream.<br />Nowadays, nobody writes to arouse the minds of the people. They just write to become popular or bestsellers. There's always some ulterior motive to their articles.<br />Nice post Afshan, keep posting :) provoqdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629557333176692247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-13694901775595933822012-09-27T16:45:05.875+05:302012-09-27T16:45:05.875+05:30What can I say about it .

A good read by the way that article!!<br /><br />Thanks for the comment...<br />Thing is like for movies there should be some censor board for reporters / news papers / other online media that controversial topics should be left to rot and not to be analysed and showcased!<br /><br />anyway good one what u shared.
