Media and The Red Letter Day

Come Republic Day or Independence day and guess what's with the television channels? Programs featuring actor interviews and just-released movies!  Each National festival of our country is under this similar fate now.  Soon a day would come when the public would feel that whenever there is a day full of these crazy filmy programs, it's something to do with our country! The amount of money these channels spend for these programs can be utilised to produce programs that portray the glory of our country through innovative programs.  People avoid programs that are dull, usually.  If these producers are creative, as they call themselves, they can project the beauty of our country and the laudable achievements that we have made in a people friendly manner.

It's not fair to blame these channels completely.  People of our country have this nasty taste for themselves.  So, these producers fearing loss of business avoid taking risks telecasting patriotic programs!  This could be solved only through a shift in our public mind, their ideologies and their desire.  We should love our country for it is, it's geographic and cultural diversity must be admired.  The best people of a country make the best use of their varied resources that are intellectual and natural.  We can stand tall among world nations by boosting higher our tradition and our customs.  To do these, the media must provide a helping hand.  Creative programs depicting the battles that we fought and also attractive dramas must be telecast especially on Red letter days.  

People must stop enjoying these small desires, at least on these days of National importance.  We need to keep telling our self our glory, our strengths, our uniqueness and only by this we can say how powerful we are to this world.  When our people are unaware of our prowess, it's so difficult to prove it a point to this world.  It's a hope that these producers would realise the problem soon and try to pull our people out of this imaginary world and show them what India is.  The sooner they do this the better it would be.
