The suicide of Rohith Vemula has
created more troubles among public and students. There has been a huge
public uproar against this issue. Even though the University revoked the
suspension and asked the students to call of the protest, things get
bigger. Now the only blame is thrown on Media.
Media
has definitely snowballed this into a national issue. Student
committing suicide is not a new thing to Hyderabad. Thousands of
students have passed away by suicide in past. Those times, things were
never blown out of proportion.
Now media
has made the issue big by adding the prefix 'Dalit' intentionally. The
media could have reported the suicide just as 'Suicide of a research
scholar'. But they blow things out of proportion.
And
as GHMC elections are on the way, the issue became Vote-bank politics.
Media prefers TRP and Parties prefer votes. The media is clearly
responsible for all the mayhem. They have made a mockery of 'Death of
Research scholar'. Hope Media acts sensible at least in future.
