I frankly blame the Modi govt. for allowing the Media to set Negative agenda about India.

The govt. should have clear guidelines and take strong action against media who paints a unreasonable, one-sided and Prejudiced account or report which hurts Indian interests.

I am aware this is a dangerous thing to do, but we need to draw the line somewhere. GoI need to relook at the Media guidelines and implement them with strong action against all those who deliberately print michief.

e.g. A family feud given "dalit atrocity" colour.

I agree when everything you have said!!

Bang on!! How can they continue to give exclusives to NDTV & Indian express & still help them despite everything they have done against the BJP & Modi??
Just the other day , I saw a Central Govt. ad on farmer schemes & initiaitves in shudh hindi on....... NDTV. -_-

What the heck is such an ad doing on an Urban wala English speaking channel??

I don't blame the Media for attacking Modi, it is Modi's fault for allowing them to keep on attacking him.

"Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice Shame on me. Fool me multiple times, God Save me"

CBN will never give an interview to T-news, Sakshi on N-TV & neither will any TDP guy. Those 3 channels are pro-TRS & pro-YSRCP . He actively helps outlets loyal to the TDP i.e Yellow Media or gives something to those which are atleast neutral.

Jayalalitha will never give or allow any sort of help to Sun Tv or Kalaignar TV(pro-DMK), on the contrary she has hurt Sun quite a bit since she came to power. She promotes Arasu Cable & Jaya TV.

& compare this to the attitude of the BJP which freely allows the Media to turn unnecessary issues into big, big issues. & it still continues to help them & ignores it's own.
Seriously , any one hearing the MSM for the first time ,especially a foreigner will make that person think that India is facing some deep internal crisis & is close to a civil war under Modi!

& the BJP:-- Forget ignoring them they still give one on one exclusives & help the MSM a lot !!

For example:- How can Devendra Phadnavis give an exclusive one on one to that lunatic NIKHIL WAGLE! That guy is super biased & rabidly anti-Hindu!
The Less said about AJ & NDTV, the better

& then they ignore people who are pro-BJP & later whine when the MSM puts an issue out of context.. & then they help the same people.. -_-
I heard there are many pro-BJP journos but they don;t come out in open because they know BJP will never help them & will only ignore them

Kya kare aise gadho ka :facepalm: [I know no such emoticon exists]

He is very close to Nitish, in fact he knows Nitish since his collage days, IF Bhim Singh is switching sides means something is really up.Taking him under BJP right now is more symbolic than anything else.A Nitish man switching sides to BJP during election season can influence several neutral voters, especially when its someone like Bhim SIngh.

They should have kept him out, he knows his importance & will now seek his share of flesh later & that will be a problem.

He will be useful among the neutral EBCs without doubt[ but only EBCs & perhaps some Maha dalits] , but TBH I can say that this guy will hurt the BJP after it wins the elections.

Because he is truly an idiot from what I have heard(according to one of my sources), he only became a minister because of NiKu, in a merit based cabinet, he would have no place

Not really, he is just a vote catcher, both shah and him knows his worth, and him joining BJP will have its preconditions. once BJP wins BIhar decisively his worth will diminish automatically. He became minister because he was very close to Niku, Taking him in has a lot of advantages, and i really doubt he will do anything. His Antiques will be useless once BJP is ours.

Interesting, will go through this report now. Am tagging other members @SarthakGanguly @anant_s @Rain Man
They are definitely bang-on coming to Kolkatta & Chennai. Many "intellectuals" are from these cities & Kerala.

By the way Who is Saurav jha?

Saurav Jha is a defence reporter for his blog is here: Saurav Jha's Blog -Geek At Large: IBNlive.com

Skimmed through the report, they have basically laid out scenarios based on possible 2019 results and what the U.S will, and specifically from a China perspective in SEA.

Their conclusions is that even a small change in the vote share means there wont be a stable govt like this one, and that a BJP return is in noway guaranteed, but at the same time is still a large possibility. A coalition govt is more obsessed with actually just staying in power, and hence is easily manipulated by smaller level players.

Also interestingly, they state BJP is more ready to work with them (citing Vajpayee legacy), while Congress party does so reluctantly (possibly through arm twisting of local parties?).

They then list some pages that list major local state level parties and what issues can be tapped using them, there are few others that come across strongly as anti-development or rabid fringe level ones for certain issues (like Vaiko's party and Seeman's party for ex) and receive foreign aid/instructions but have not been listed.

But regardless of the party in power report says Indian leaders, even the ones at local state levels are still wary of the U.S and hence the U.S must be patient, also change takes a long time .
I remember watching a video long back before the 2014 elections, and there they were discussing the system of coalitions, where by the various embassy people interviewed many local parties and they were surprised that most of these parties did not really have larger national policy outlooks but are very narrow minded, seems like their studies have now given them a better picture.

From a politics perspective that is all, there were some other bits about SEA relationship with India, and shared goals, perhaps will read later.

I remember there was also a spy that defected to U.S, Rabinder Singh..? He was also removing files on SEA region (I think he was in charge of the SEA region too). They seem to want to know about India's plans for the SEA region and consider it important, seeing how we already have a presence in the region though the A&N base.

Indian Army's response to this Malicious article...

INDIAN ARMY’S REJOINDER TO THE MALICIOUS ARTICLE ‘TRIAL BY IRE’ IN “THE WEEK” MAGAZINE BY SHRI AJIT KUMAR DUBEY PUBLISHED ON 16TH OCT 2015 (FOR THE WEEK 19 TO 25TH OCT)

1. Please refer to the 'Trial by ire'in The Week magazine by Shri Ajit Kumar Dubey published on 16 Oct 2015 (for the week 19 to 25th Oct) & its online version http://www.theweek.in/…/nyoma-mutiny-inquiry-and-the-rift-b…- officers-and-jawans-in-the-army.html).

2. The article on the Nyoma incident, published in “The Week” magazine, is a piece of sensational journalism, one sided and untruthful.

3. The article starts out with slandering a woman who stood in front of a military court martial and convincingly withstood the test of a probing cross-examination. The facts are proven, Suman outraged her modesty, and 'The Week' has outraged it further. The fact that Suman's statement, which has been reported in almost one-third of the article, was found to be baseless by the court, has been ignored.

4. There are other factual errors. The article has stated that “Col Prasad Kadam, tried to flee the area in an official vehicle”. Actually Col Kadam went into the crowd of agitating soldiers to try and calm them. He was attacked and sustained five fractures in his right eye socket and four fractures at the back of the skull. He was hospitalised for three months. The theme running through the article that the accused were not provided opportunity for their defence is also incorrect. In the trial of Suman, Thirty two witnesses were examined, which included six officers and the lady. They were thoroughly cross examined.

5. The Indian Army, just as any other organisation expects journalists to be true to their calling. 'Sensationalism sells' should not be the mantra. 'The Week' and Mr Dubey have proved otherwise.

6. There was a mutiny. Indian Army as a disciplined professional force cannot accept it. Neither should the civil society and the nation at large. Any attempt to colour it by changing its focus into an officer vs soldier conflict will do grave injustice to our Army. The close relationship between officers and men is the bedrock of Army ethos and remains very strong. Making reckless statements on 'divide between the officer and the jawans' is a gross and mischievous misrepresentation of facts.

7. Law has an impartial face, whether it be practiced in Supreme Court or a military Court Martial barrack in Akhnoor. To question the legality of a trial based on loose and one- sided statements of defence lawyers is highly irresponsible. We hope the magazine will now do the right thing to a lady wronged and the organisation to which she belongs by offering an unconditional apology.

This NDA government is solely responsible for not reining in (I mean censoring) the India media. They have no one else to blame. This kind of weakness has already created problems and may lose them Bihar.

Bihar Election : why I feel that nitish will join bjp eventually .. ?

He has burnt too many boats for that. Expect some of his MLAs to feel the pull, but Nitish himself won't be able to come to terms with Modi. That said, the fight is still 50-50. BJP may win and may lose.
