The News paper I believe is the voice of a country. It reaches the masses and it influences thoughts too. I was reading today's Times of India. And the degree, to which journalism has degraded, truly amazes me. Like, this paper is the largest selling paper in the whole wide world.
Let's just keep our discussion to the root of the evil. They call it 'soft porn'. But why the hell do we have to put Soft Porn on the Editorial page. And especially when you are writing about the sudden boom in the sensex. I am talking about this article by some 'Bachi Karkaria'; she uses words like a 'Cosmic Phallus' to describe the rise of the sensex. FINE, I have no problem with analogies, but where you draw your tangents show what kind of thought goes on in your head. Does the youth of our nation looks for pleasurable analogies in such hugely important and sensitive issues too. And describing the widespread euphoria as an 'Orgy'. If this is the way we think then in a very short time kids will start thinking of school as a 'Prostitution House'!!!! Like WHAT THE HELL.
Anyways my point here is that Indian youth now is responsible enough and educated enough, that we do not need 'Soft Porn' to read a good newspaper. There are other better places to find that. I don�t know if any of you might agree with me on that one, but seriously, I�d hate to think my opinions reflected by a cheap porn magazine of sorts.
