Indian media’s inferiority complex
Sunday, July 29th, 2007Our Sunita complex - Through no fault of hers, she reminded us of how very Third World and second rate we are and how desperate for recognition from the West. The Indian economy may be booming and there may be those who talk of how we are on the verge of superstardom as the world’s newest economic power, but our minds and hearts remain those of a colonised, defeated people. Our inferiority complex manifests itself most sickeningly every time someone with one drop of Indian blood gets recognition in the West
What she says is very true - there may be a lot of stories about India being a superpower , but the mainstream media in India has no self respect. I wonder whether in any other country so much importance is given by the media to foreigners , people who have quit India. Does the US media give front page coverage to activities of US citizens in India?
