Indian Media

Found in my inbox (with my footnote down below):

Who owns the media in India?

Recent Gujrat election have witnessed unaccountable money paid to media persons of both print and electronic by Saudi Arabia to discredit Modi and the Hindutva forces, which Media did very faithfully without success.

There are several major publishing groups in India, the most prominent among them being the Times of India Group, the Indian Express Group, the Hindustan Times Group,

The Hindu group, the Anandabazar Patrika Group, the Eenadu Group, the Malayalam Manorama Group, the Mathrubhumi group, the Sahara group, the Bhaskar group,and the Dainik Jagran group.

Let us see the ownership of different media agencies:

NDTV: A very popular TV news media is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain Supports Communism. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan . Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of the Communist party of India. His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters.

India Today which used to be the only national weekly who supported BJP is now bought by NDTV!! Since then the tone has changed drastically and turned into Hindu bashing.

CNN-IBN: This is 100 percent funded by Southern Baptist Church with its branches in all over the world with HQ in US. The Church annually allocates $800 million for promotion of its channel. Its Indian head is Rajdeep Sardesai and his wife Sagarika Ghosh.

Times group list: Times Of India, Mid-Day, Nav-Bharth Times, Stardust, Femina, VijayaTimes,
Vijaya Karnataka, Times now (24- hour news channel) and many more.. Times Group is owned by Bennet & Coleman. 'World Christian Council' does 80 percent of the Funding, and an Englishman and an Italian equally share balance 20 percent. The Italian Robertio Mindo is a close relative of Sonia Gandhi.

Star TV: It is run by an Australian, who is supported by St. Peters Pontificial Church Melbourne .

Hindustan Times: Owned by Birla Group, but hands have changed since Shobana Bhartiya took over. Presently it is working in Collaboration with Times Group.

The Hindu:
English daily, started over 125 years has been recently taken over by Joshua
Society, Berne, Switzerland. N.Ram's wife is a Swiss national.

Indian Express: Divided into two groups - The Indian Express and new Indian Express (southern edition) ACTS Christian Ministries have major stake in the Indian Express and latter is still with the Indian counterpart.

Eeenadu: Still to date controlled by an Indian named Ramoji Rao who is connected with film industry and owns a huge studio in Andhra Pradesh.

Andhra Jyothi: The Muslim party of Hyderabad known as MIM along with a Congress Minister has purchased this Telugu daily very recently.

The Statesman:
It is controlled by Communist Party of India.

Kairali TV:
It is controlled by Communist party of India (Marxist)

Mathrubhoomi: Leaders of Muslim League and Communist leaders have major investment.

Asian Age and Deccan Chronicle: Is owned by a Saudi Arabian Company with its chief Editor M.J. Akbar.

Gujrat riots which took place in 2002 where Hindus were burnt alive, Rajdeep Sardesai and Bharkha Dutt working for NDTV at that time got around 5 Million Dollars from Saudi Arabia to cover only Muslim victims which they did very faithfully. Not a single Hindu family was interviewed or shown on TV whose near and dear ones had been burnt alive.

It is reported Tarun Tejpal of Tehelka.com regularly gets flat check from Arab countries to target BJP and Hindus only.

The ownership explains the control of media in India by foreigners. The result is obvious.

PONDER OVER THIS. NOW YOU KNOW WHY EVERY ONE IS AGAINST TRUTH, HOW VERY SAD.

Footnote by me:

The 'Art of Living' founded by Sri Sri Ravishankar celebrated its Silver jubilee at Bangalore in the Jakkur Airfield during Feb -March 2006. It was reported that around 25 lakhs of people participated in the 4 days mega event. People from more than 130 countries participated waving their country flags without any religious bar. It was a site to watch when hundreds of Indian and Pakistani flags waved together to the tune of ‘Om Namashivaya'. Top religious leaders from almost all the religions of the world participated. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, L.K.Advani, Chandrababu Naidu and many others attended.

Where else this could ever happen? It is possible to have such a conglomerate of people for a particular religion's event but not this kind of a heterogeneous spiritual conglomerate. It had never happened in the world history and if at all another one such will happen, it will happen only in our soil.

I was buying ‘The Hindu' at that time and after I returned from the Bangalore, I was very fondly browsing the past days' newspapers and what an upset! Not a single line was reported about the event. When Kanimozhi ‘shits' at some place, it finds a news in ‘The Hindu' but not this one. At that very moment I wanted to stop it but unfortunately my kids like the Metro Plus etc, and I could not do that. I was feeling like an enemy entering my house everyday morning and my hatred grew when I had to see MK's photo everyday. I was waiting for an opportunity and it happened when Deccan Chronicle arrived at Chennai. I bought it for me along with ‘The Hindu' for my kids. When ‘The Times of India' arrived at Chennai a few months back, my time had arrived and I packed off ‘The Hindu' happily after nearly 25 years!
