Dear Sir,
Subject: The editorial
“Dangerous Vigilantism” – The Hindu, July 21, 2016
“Dangerous Vigilantism” – The Hindu, July 21, 2016
The INHUMAN ATROCITY that was
perpetrated by some GOONY UPPER-CASTE VIGILANTE GROUP calling itself " Gau
Rakshak Dal" against FOUR DALIT YOUTH, where in they were FORCIBLY
STRIPPED to their waist, Tied to a JEEP, BEATEN or rather thrashed mercilessly
for what appeared to be a very LONG TIME and then paraded in that condition in UNA
- a small town in Gir-Somnath District I Gujarat, had actually happened on July
11, 2016 and the video that was recorded SADISTICALLY by one of the TORMENTORS
went VIRAL on social media on 12th July 2016 and “ALL the SOCIALLY CONSIOUS
TWITTERATY and FACE BOOK followers, including this writer, started the REQUIRED
HUE and CRY an DEMAND for IMMEDIATE POLICE ACTION, that was not being
FORTHCOMING from the Gujarat Police, as the perpetrators belonged mainly to
UPPER CASTE youths, as a result of which the Gujarat Police arrested a few
PERPETRATORS of this SAVAGERY and also started looking for those GOONS who were
absconding after this HUE & CRY got strident on SOCIAL MEDIA ( that even
the TV News Channels also took this issue up a little later ( to say figuratively,
Joining the BAND WAGON when the SOUND of the BAND became VERY LOUD and STRIDENT
Lol- short form of LAUGH out LOUD used in social media…) - and OBVIOUSLY more for the SAKE of TRP’s
for their Channels).

However, I am writing to YOU to
Complain about the VISIBLE and discernible SHIFTING of the POLITICAL
ORIENTATION of The Hindu from being sympathetic to the “Left of center
SOCIALISTIC considerations of : Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, along with an
overlaying importance for UNIVERSAL SECULAR ETHOS”, of late, towards the SO
CALLED CENTRIST POLITICAL DISCOURSE” due to which, your MUCH LOVED NEWSPAPER
has lost its REAL DNA and is slowly and steadily appearing to be a NATIONAL
DAILY whose SUDDEN GENETIC TRANSFORMATION
under the new editor is PUTTING it in the bracket of other many of the so called CENTRIST and other RIGHT WING NATIONAL DAILIES& SANGH
PARIVAR’S ’ various mouth pieces! I say so, because, of LATE The Hindu,
editorialises on such BURNING ISSUES that concern a RUPTURE and LOSS of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and SECULAR
ETHOS in our society through EVENTS such as the UNO outrage, ONLY when it
BECOMES a RAGING ISSUE in the MEDIA
& doesn’t even give sufficient & prominent COVERAGE {another recent
deliberately light & insignificant coverage done was on the whole day –
Tuesday, 11.00 AM till 6.30 PM, RAJYASABH Discussion on the BURNING Kashmir
Issue where TALL OPPOSITION LEADERS had TAKEN to TASK the MODI Government at
the center as well as the PDP-BJP alliance Government in J&K and literally
TAKEN it OVER the (BURNING HOT) Coals, The HINDU, dated July 19, 2016, made the
entire DISCOURSE covered in a small,
single column on PAGE 12 at the very corner, funnily under NEWS, with
the ALL the VARIOUS, very important, SENSITIVE, EMPHATIC and COMPASSIONATE
SPEECHES by several TALL OPPOSITION LEADERS were REDUCED to a SUMMARY of “LESS
than 1000 Characters” leading one to
wonder whether the SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
who wrote this “PIECE” was given a CHARACTER-LIMIT of 1000 Characters like your
Web-Site keeps a limit of 1000 Characters for COMMENTS made on the Web-Site?}

It is IRONICAL that
SUPPOSEDLY the SOCIALLY MOST CONSCIOUS NATIONAL DAILY waited for FULL NINE-days
after the SAVAGERY inflicted on the four hapless Dalit Youth whose only crime
PURPORTEDLY was to have SKINNED a Carcass of a DEAD COW, to EDITORIALISE on
such a BARBARIC EVENT connected with the
BURNING ISSUE of wide spread DALIT SUBJUGATION and PERSECUTION, that
too, only after the ISSUE got SNOWBALLED into VIOLENT DALIT PROTEST in various
parts of GUJARAT!

I happened
to LISTEN to some SONGS from 1962 Movie AARTI (Incidentally I was listening on
You-tube Mohamed Rafi's " ab kya misal don main tumhare shabab ki from
AARTI) and I saw this SONG of Lata Mangeshkar listed alongside,(with Music by
Roshan and Lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri) on the THEME of "UNITY of the
ENTIRE HUMANITY - that is "All human beings are SAME and created from the
same DUST! It is worth LISTENING to in the above context of " 4 DALITS
beaten/rather THRASHED MERCILESSLY in UNA in Gir- Somnath District-\-Gujarat
for skinning a DEAD COW by some GOONY UPPER-CASTE VIGILANTE GROUP calling
itself " Gau Rakshak Dal"!
