Yesterday i.e. the 15th of April 2008, a leading Hindi daily of Chattisgarh, छत्तीसगढ़" carried a news item whose headlines read' थोक में आधा दर्जन' and no the writer was not referring to some
vegetable or fruits but to six children
born to a lady,Sunila Devi in Bihar.
What is shameful is ,this was the same
newspaper that lunged at Mr.Ajay Chandrakar when he made the offending
statement regarding children not being produced by the Govt. How different is this
headline from Mr.Chandarakar's comment?
It is said that childbirth is a second life for a woman.In the writers enthusiasm to
popularise the news item of a lady giving birth to six girls at one time, the very
essence of motherhood has been mocked at by publishing such an offending
headline.What does the writer mean by saying that the lady has given birth
'थोक में'? Is this the phrase to be used while referring to babies, who are yet to
understand the ways of this wicked world?
Now ,whom do we demand an apology from?Why is it so difficult to value
another humans sentiment? At the cost of selling hot stories, the humane side of
the media seems to be lost.
