Sad ... sad

 Indian media has hit its rock bottom in quality. It's a narrative-spinning soap opera. The entire Indian media is directing a cross border love story involving spy angle. So Seema Haidar has hijacked the fancy of our journos who look desperate to direct romantic reels having spy elements. Watch the news channels and you won't miss cheam rom-com movies and third grade soap operas. And a part of mother India is burning for the last three months. Indian news channels give more bytes to Ukraine war and Manipur is mentioned as a small-time side story. And the honorable PM who has all the words to speak about global issues now speaks a few lines about Manipur at long, long, long last. Manipur is burning in the same old fire born of divisive and polarizing politics. The government is busy in washing the financial crimes of opposition politicians to make them pure nationalists by including them in its ranks. The internal situation is indeed in a horrible state. It's only about power at any cost. The bahubali MP, accused of molesting elite female athletes, is safely out, happy and joyful having received anticipatory bail. Another Haryanvi politician who was accused of causing the death by suicide of a female employee in his firm is now the present government's ally. A godman accused and jailed for rape and other crimes is out on parole. The largest minority of the country is systematically portrayed as traitors through social media launched narratives. The government seems to be intoxicated about its image. But the sand is shifting under the feet. Come out of the delusion.  People aren't fools.
