Recently, I had been reading these Hindi daily and now i am fed up of
reading about cheap crimes and "district mindedness" of these
newspapers.
When I was young my Dad used to tell me that"I must read a news paper daily", but after few years i.e after commercialization of media he used to say that "I must read an ENGLISH NEWSPAPER daily" as now these Hindi newspaper are running after money rather than bringing out some good news and facts.
They publish only those topics which THEY think can cause an increase in their sales. They don't go for burning topics, but make any topic burning which they think is useful and can carry on long enough among its readers. It has now become like a daily soap for people in India and when their sales increases they proudly claim themselves the title of "Dunia Ka Sabse Zayda Padha Jaane Wala Hindi Akhbar".
They have brought down the level of what a newspaper must be if its published in our mother-tongue and also our national language.
I remember an incident in which India was in the group of B-- countries , the English daily gave it on their cover page but this Hindi daily gave it at the bottom of page 2 which most people don't read as most of it is a continuation of news on page 1 which is booked for politicians,rape,murder and some other local topics which can increase their sales.
these Hindi dailys are not doing justice to HINDI. I would like to ask everyone parents, brothers , sisters and all whether you would like your young child/brother/sister to read a HINDI newspaper "which is in your mother tongue" or an English daily which is a part of western culture.
The answers lies within your heart but Indians never regret anything, thinking "jaane do yaar hume kya karna hai". but with this we are loosing the love and respect which our youngistan should have in it's culture and for its country.
These days our children know more about English than Hindi .
"I WOULD LIKE TO ASK HOW MANY INDIANS CAN SPEAK PURE HINDI LEAVE ASIDE WRITING IT BUT OUR ENGLISH IS CONSIDERED BETTER THAN MOST OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING NATION"
We can see in movies how if someone talks in pure Hindi and it's considered as a comic scene, like in Lage Raho Munnabhai, Sadda Adda, Zindigi na Milegi Dobaara etc. How can we Indians laugh on our own language, just standing in attention on national anthem doesn't make us an Indian.
If we don't respect our own country ,its culture, its language so how can we think that Pakistan, U.S.A., China and any other country can respect us.
Therefore in the end I would like to say that the main cause of deterioration of Hindi is our Hindi newspapers.
I don't say that they are not showing the true face of Indian Society but instead of showing ten murders and filling the whole page with photographs they should leve some space for INDIA too rather than filling 80% of newspaper with rape, murder, and family disputes.
May be not everyone but some true Indians would try to understand my thoughts.
