O, The Hindu Newspaper! Is Thy Name Error in reporting?





SATYAMEVA JAYATHE!

The Hindu had erred in reporting one important News item about Modi's inauguration of the ferry project to connect Saurashtra and South Gujarat by sea. 

The date of inauguration was wrongly stated as Monday, the 23rd October 2017 as under:

In the same paper on last page - i.e. page no.20, a full page advertisement was published as under:



Here in the advertisement, the date is clearly mentioned as 22nd October 2017 (Sunday) and not Monday the 23rd October 2017 as reported by the Hindu in the news item.

For a newspaper of the HIndu standard, it cannot be brushed aside as a minor error and that too, it is an event attended by the PM. 

The reader might not have forgotten the wrong reporting of an incident of Bridge Collapse at Elphinstone, Railway Foot-Over-Bridge at Charni Road wherein the Hindu reporter had wrongly reported a video as if the man had molested a girl, while actually he was helping her to safety. The newspaper had regretted - if not apologized for this major blunder, the Readers Editor also could not make the Hindu to tender an unconditional apology - but, he wanted perhaps to satisfy with the mere 'regrets'. Of late the quality of the reporting and the Reporters' Accountability were at the lowest ebb even for the so called reputed newspaper like "The Hindu'. 

O, Hindu! Is thy Name Error? - I wanted to think aloud along with our E-Touch Readers. 

Shame unto you, O Hindu!

What is in Name or Date - I hope that no one would say and brush aside this wrong doing of the Hindu. 


S. Sankaran
The Editor - E-Touch.

Gandhi Recited Quran Verses in the Temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi

  Once Mohandas. K. Gandhi was reciting Quran in the temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi.   Then a woman from the crowd got up and asked Gandhi not to do so. Gandhi asked: Why?   Then that woman said that it is against our religion.    Gandhi said. I don't believe so. ..The woman replied that we do not consider you worthy to give order in religion..   Gandhi said that the vote of the people present here should be taken. The woman replied whether religion could be decided by votes?.   Gandhi said that you are obstructing my religious freedom. The woman replied that you are interfering illegally in the religion of crores of Hindus.   Gandhi said: I wish to listen to the Quran, now.  The woman said: And I will oppose it inside our temple.   And then hundreds of Valmiki youths stood by the side of the woman and started saying that before getting the Quran recited in the temple, show us by reciting Gita or Ramayana in a mosque and then we will allow this.   Seeing the growing protests, G

Carnatic Musicians Aiding for Christian Conversion Efforts – Courtesy: Naithrupan

Nithyashree Mahadevan , Aruna Sairam , OS Arun , Unnikrishnan , Anuradha Shriram , Tippu & Saindhavi – names that you’re most familiar with Carnatic music who are supposed to be a role model for younger generatons .  The above mentioned singers  stooped down to the lowest level possible. They all signed up to sell their music, Thyagaraja Kirthanas to christian mission by simply changing few words and singing in praise of Jesus. It is highly condemnable that they chose to replace the word Rama with Yesu and sang all the kirthanas . It is that same Rama and Krishna who showered their blessings and made them popular and these scumbags have decided to sell our kirthanas to churches who will use them ONLY to do more conversion. What a shame! On the contrary, Isaignani Ilayaraja that he will not score for the movie “ Periyar ” even if he is offered any number of crores – that is conviction! I see some people asking some stupid question “Haven’t we a

The Grammar of Anarchy by Dr. B.R.Ambedkar On 25 th November 1949, Dr.B.R.Ambedkar , Chairman of the drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution delivered his closing speech at the Constituent Assembly of India in the Constitution Hall of Parliament. This closing speech on the final debate on the new Constitution which was drafted with 395 Articles in 141 days is known as the ‘Grammar of Anarchy’ speech and on the following day, on November 26, the Constitution of India was adopted. A brief extract of his famous and historic quotable quote speech is given for the benefit of the readers and full text can be read by just clicking the heading. Merits of any constitution depend upon not on its drafting, but, on its people and political parties: However bad a Constitution may be, it may turn out to be good if those who are called to work it, happen to be a good lot. The working of a Constitution does not depend wholly upon the nature of the C
