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

Nationalism – National Flag, National Anthem and National Song

Image
Ancient India was called as Bharatavarsa meaning thereby – the country ( varsa ) of Bharata – Emperor Bharata , the son of Shakuntala and Dushyanta Maharaja. Further, Bharata in Sanskrit means Bha – Light and Knowledge and Rata – Devoted and hence Bharata means ‘Devoted to light/knowledge’. In view of such loaded cultural and spiritual background about our ancient country, the constitution of India in its Article 1 (1) confirmed the name of India as Bharat and the actual wording runs thus: “India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States” and hence Bharat is officially acknowledged as the name of our country – though the ‘ sickular liberals’ do not want to acknowledge this fact – but, they want our country to be called as ‘India’ only. Because this name of our country leads to the historical evidence that Bharat’s territories extended to a large parts of present neighboring countries which ancients called as Akhand Bharat, Leftists Leaning Literates and Sicku
