" Journalism is what maintains
the democracy it controls the mind of peoples."
HISTORY OF KASHMIR:
In the northern part of India, Kashmir
which is famous for art and culture but due to conflict between India, Pakistan
and china .this landlock region is suffering from politics and diplomacy.
let's understand why Kashmir is
important for India or Pakistan? why this landlock, a Himalayan state in world
news?
Kashmir situated in the sensitive
geopolitical region where it's connected with Afghanistan, China and Pakistan.
in ancient time, Kashmir was a major
place of silk trade route which connects Europe to the Indian subcontinent.
In 1947, Kashmir had a king who
belonged to the Hindu religion but mostly population belong to Muslim
majority.kashmir's king decided to join India and became an integral part of
India.
they joined India in some condition
which was the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. India mentions special
status for Jammu and Kashmir in article 370 on the constitution but it was a
temporary provision.
Now, BJP govt (right-wing govt)
abrogation of article 370 and Kashmir and Ladakh became two new union
territory. it was core agenda in BJP manifesto.
In this article writer criticised
broadcast media who become government monopoly and mouthpiece. he said that
Indian nation media plunging into the patriotic duty of drumming up blind support
for government. it defines our media in the epoch of hypernationalism.
CONCLUSION:
"Journalism is necessary to the
functioning of democracy.we are supposed to always in check and balance"
