VIDARBHA FARMER SUICIDE said...
role of media is covering agrarian crisis is too serious to discuss.even after more than 5000 farm suicide ,p.sainath is the only one senior media person who has visited like local reporter moved more than 500 farm suicide effected villages and was only one person who forced indian prime minister to have visit ncf chairman dr.ms swaminathan vist in sept,2005 then visit of expert and all study panel of planning commission in dec.,2005 march 2006 then indian prime minister dr.man mohan singh has visited vidarbha as per reports of p sainath and first relief package rs.3750 crore was announced but failed to serve purpose then repeated visits and write ups of p sainath forced indian govt. to announce rs. 60,000 crore loan waover on 29th feb.,2008 and on next day 1st march p.sainath visited suicide effected villages along with indian minister manishanker ayer to and till follow up to stop agrarian crisis is going.p.sainath's role act as main opposition party in agrarian crisis,he has been advocating dying indian farming community has been well acknowledged smt.sonia gandhi,PMO,indian parliament,all political parties in india ,all section of international and national universities,forums,foundations,bodies,masses and press.
anger of p.sainath is justified as even after international media reporters were visiting india to take know ground reality of vidarbha ,not single senior editor has asked his junior staff to visit vidarbha.
I am witness to 33000 farm suicides of vidarbha since 1998 and happened to see role media very closely and it is painful part of my life but very shameful bolt to Indian media chapter due to it's proven hostile role as first they failed to report fact then they reported fabricated reports with out visiting vidarbha.in fact indian media community failed to report agrarian crisis or food crisis or poverty crisis as you cant write the issue by sitting in the delhi-mumbai-madras office hence version of p.sainath on visits to vidarbha since june 2005 by senior editor is very important hence mad rush to get free pass lakme fashion week is point to be raised in editors guild meet.p.sainath has respect to all media community and it's not matter of divide in bharat and india ,there is already big gao between india - bharat but to look at it one has to visit vidarbha not fashion week.
