I was really a naive one when in the beginning I used to think on the lines that it was actually the pressure of market forces which make a significant portion of media behave as mere loudspeaker of the government in the greed of handsome government advertisement. India is the vast land of diversity of people and of varied sets of opinions, profitability can be explored in other way round also. Earlier, I sensed the working of ABP news, they used to take the anti government stand. They kept changing their stance as government got changed after the election. This channel always found its own kind of audience and kept going. Now, this channel too has changed its tone for long back.
Now, I have begun to realise that regime concept is even bigger than to market forces. It's not market who could customise the design and pattern of regimes of a country but actually dominant regime of a country can mould the behavior and structure of market forces. Regime is a huge body of force compared to a political party in power even because a political party is one among many other byproducts of it. What is the most pessimistic part of this analogy, change in government can be expected by the popular intervention in a democracy though it involves cumbersome processes whereas regime is very fragile in its structure as it could get destructed by its inherent elements but it cannot be penetrated by simple populace.
Our beloved country is now being ruled by a regime. As a member of civil society we need to ponder and act even more vigorously otherwise nation would be inviting its saddest phase of destiny.
