Unmasking the Media: A New Dawn or Snake in Another Suite?

 

Media Change of Heart or Snake in another Suite

Today, the Indian media landscape is witnessing a thrilling transformation, hinting at a possible revolt within the ranks. At the heart of this drama is the owner of Zee-TV, who has openly voiced concerns about India's alarming position at 159th globally for press independence. This confession has sent shockwaves through an industry long criticized as "Godi media," infamous for parroting government lines and muffling dissenting voices.

The revelation comes at a time when trust in traditional media is eroding, and a digital rebellion is gaining momentum. Maverick journalists like Ravish Kumar have abandoned mainstream platforms to forge new paths on YouTube, amassing armies of followers hungry for untainted news. With over 10 million followers rallying behind him in mere months, the establishment can't help but feel the ground shifting under its feet.

Adding to the spectacle, Rahul Kanwal of India Today recently displayed unexpected audacity, grilling Home Minister Amit Shah on sensitive issues like the contentious electoral bonds and the arrest of opposition leaders. This rare display of journalistic spine begs the question: What's emboldening these media figures now? Is it a divine warning in a dream, a la Hanuman, or a stark realization of the shifting sands beneath their studios?

Amidst this unfolding drama, the threats from the INDIA bloc loom large, promising a rigorous scrutiny of all institutions, including the media, if they seize power. This prospect has undoubtedly stirred a sense of urgency within media circles, possibly influencing the sudden change of heart at Zee-TV. Could this be a strategic pivot to align with the changing tides, or merely a survival tactic dressed in a garb of repentance?

As we edge closer to a climactic showdown in Indian politics and media, the narrative is anything but predictable. The Zee-TV saga could either be a genuine turn toward redemption or just another twist in the complex dance of power and propaganda. As the plot thickens, the nation watches, waits, and debates: Are we witnessing the dawn of a new era in Indian journalism, or just another scene in an elaborate charade? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear—the battle for India's narrative soul is on, and it's as gripping as any thriller you'll find on the silver screen.

How We Turned an Abstract God into Concrete Hate

  How We Turned an Abstract God into Concrete Hate Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/12/blog-post_12.html God was never meant to be owned. In its earliest human understanding, God was abstract, unknowable, and undefined. People did not claim certainty over it. They sensed it in nature, in conscience, in fear, wonder, and humility. Worship had no walls. It happened under open skies, near rivers, in forests, and in silence. Spirituality was personal, inward, and restrained by doubt. Everything broke the moment humans tried to contain the abstract. The moment God was locked inside stone, gold, and spectacle, spirituality was replaced by religion. And once religion took physical form, it demanded control. Someone had to manage God. Interpret God. Defend God. Faith stopped being a personal search and became a collective identity. Identity demanded loyalty. Loyalty demanded enemies. This is where belief became power. At some point, humanity reached an abs...

Distraction as Governance: How a Scripted National Song Debate Shielded the SIR Controversy

  Distraction as Governance: How a Scripted National Song Debate Shielded the SIR Controversy Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5jj6tmNYs20 Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/12/sir_11.html Two days ago, India witnessed a moment that will not be remembered for what Parliament accomplished, but for how deliberately it avoided its responsibilities. Ten hours were spent debating Vande Mataram and reminiscing about 150 old songs, not because Parliament had run out of issues, but because the ruling party needed a distraction. Crucially, this spectacle unfolded just before the scheduled national debate on the Special Summary Revision, a process already mired in allegations of mass voter deletions and electoral manipulation. Seen in context, the timing was not random. It was strategic. It was engineered. The BJP leadership understood that the SIR debate could expose disturbing patterns: unexplained deletions, duplicate voter entries, unexplai...

Superstitions: Where Do They Come From, and Why Do People Believe in Them?

  Superstitions: Where Do They Come From, and Why Do People Believe in Them? Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/12/blog-post_14.html When undesirable events occur in our lives, our natural response is to look for reasons. We try to identify causes so we can avoid repeating the same outcomes. Often, this process is logical and helpful. We learn, adapt, and move forward. But this search for meaning does not always lead us to accurate conclusions. Sometimes, instead of identifying real causes, we attach significance to unrelated details. A coincidence becomes an explanation. A single occurrence becomes a pattern. When this happens, superstition begins to take shape. One of the most striking aspects of superstition is how little evidence it requires. A single event is often enough. If something good happens while a certain object is present, or something bad follows a particular action, the mind quickly connects the two. No repeated testing is needed...
