DOES THE MEDIA REPRESENT PUBLIC OPINION?
Recently there was a lot of opposition in Tamil Nadu for the SANSKRIT WEEK, according to our Media.
In my limited experience I have not come across 'Brahmin Hatred' or 'Opposition to Sanskrit' among the common people living here.
I have a feeling that those who are opposed to Brahmin and Sanskrit are given the quantum of space in Media which is not in proportion to the following that they have.
Venkatesh Iyer.
I dont know where you were, but this phenomenon was very common in the 60s; There were instances of sacred threads being cut while travelling in public transport. because major portion of society felt one small section was holding all the aces. things are much improved now , with a developed world this small portion has felt that its services are more appreciated in other parts of the world so it has taken wings & flown there; very soon , there wont be any, in our country.
Excellent point.
