Pre-requisite to read this:
1. Take off that unseen lense you are putting on, it could be saffron, green or blue or any color for that matter.
2. Try to be as neutral as you can while reading this. Else there are very high likely chances that you end up tagging me with certain parties or hindu/mulsim, or majority/minority bla bla
I am shocked to see the social media and electronic media these days, we are constantly bombarded with hidden agendas from the people who are on the pay role of our political parties. The kind of posts, tweets and programs I see all are trying to divide us, polarize us, scare us. I am not saying this is something new, ofcourse its age old but its intensity and volume on mass media has increased like never before. Our political leaders (past, present and future) have figured out better means to program our minds now.
Any incident, be it rape or murder is presented in all the colors saffron, green, blue etc on media.
Based on our current programming and inclination we choose the one and believe it to be true.
Certainly it is beyond our capacity to stop these mighty forces. So all I choose is to stay away from brain washing and look out in my immediate neighborhood instead of social/electronic media. Well, I am glad to see there is still harmony around but..... not sure how long this will last. Say not to brain washing
Cheers!
