Can You Take It Vinod Sharma?

Thanks a lot Madhu for your great work for bringing the dirt of Indian Media in open. Your interview with Karan Thapar was also great.

– How Vinod Mehta manages to expose himself –

Vinod Mehta is
Political editor of Hindustan Times.
Appears daily on tv new channels to tell his opinion.

1:10 -
Interviewer: “So what is your ideological belief”
“I am a strong secularist. I think that the best thing to happen to india would be a centrist party.”
Interviewer: “Is congress a centrist party?”
“It is!”

Pro-congress? Next quote confirms it.

19:44 – “I dont think the BJP in its present form, with the ideology that it has, is good for my country. I do not think a political

party which doesnt want to have anything to do with 20 crore citizens of this country (muslims) has no place in my country.”

How can Hindustan Times have a person like him as a political editor? Won’t there be obvious bias and slant in his

journalism?
They can have him as a journalist may be, but the political editor on the entire paper?
What the hell, is this normal?

Ok lets see why is this guy ‘secularist’ , why this ideology.

6:21 – “In 1992, i was posted in pakistan(as a journo). And i know (strongly), what minority-ism is all about. I was in a

minority of 1 in my own house. It is the tyranny of numbers, it is just about that. Then i resolved that…”

And thereby he doesn’t want India to become like pakistan which is such a sick place for minorities. And therefore opposes

BJP, and supports ‘centrist’ ‘secularist’ Congress.

There’s a big big misunderstanding here. If he is equating the condition of a hindu in pakistan with that of a muslim in india,

hes being foolish. Comparing apples and oranges. No sense.
Would it not be logical to say that only because India is a hindu-majority country , there is secularism here?
If India were muslim majority like pakistan, does he think there would be any secularism here?
It says something about hinduism.
Abrahamic religions islam and chritianity say ‘my was is the right way, your way is the wrong way’ , fundamentally

conflict-ridden view.
Dharmic religions like hinduism say ‘all ways lead to god, each unto his own’ , an all-encompassing world view.
He can compare two abrahamic religions but not one with a dharmic religion.
In a country with a dharmic majority, one need not worry about minorities. You only have to look at history of India for proof.
But the condition of minority is arahamic religious majority countries needs serious attention, especially of people like Vinod

Mehta.

So the basis of his so-called ideology is fundamentally flawed.
He tries to appear like a warrior with a resolve towards his ideology.
But then contradicts again by saying..

7:31 – “then im sorry its(journalism is) my bread and butter, i dont fancy myself as a revolutionary…”

8:06 – “you see if i was not married, i would have been a different person…im the last male earning member of my family”

That pretty much clears up everything. It is not his flawed ideology for which he works, but for his own compulsions.

16:37 : “she (smriti irani) was actually questioning my journalistic integrity, which is very sad for a political party to do”

After all that youv’e said above, any idiot will question your journalistic integrity

16:55 : “they (certain political forces) have a three pronged strategy towards the media. 1)to win them over, 2) to character

assassinate them . (he forgot the third prong)”

It seems obvious congress won you over. If not directly, you indirectly are a part of their big picture, another brick in the wall,

helping their cause with your “relative truth”(whatever that is).

My request to you sir.
Right now you seem to be a compromised being for whatever reasons and compulsions, also it is easier to be so, doesnt require a fight.
Remember that when your play ends on this planet, there is nothing you will take with you, nothing matters then.
Atleast in the latter stages of your life, try coming out of your compulsions, LIVE your own life atleast for a few years. Give something to the next generation, even at the expense of own ego and false self-esteem. That is all that matters in the end of time, nothing else.

Vinod Sharma is such a waste. He has betrayed the true essence of journalism

He truely desrves Rajya sabha seat from Congress besides other benefits in kind.

Is it that, for our electronic media, no other journalist is available in India ?

Masterpiece! Really enjoyed Madhuji’s skewering!

Two great journalists at their offensive and defensive best.
