Casteist Media and Dalit Isues (A Socio-Political Study of Indian National Media)

The larger society and mass media ignores or distort their struggle for their own risk. On the other hand media should introspect and ask what hey can do to make society as a whole more inclusive. Encouraging conversation and not hectoring is one way. But another is surely to diversity the news-rooms by consciously bringing in those sections of society who have hitherto been excluded. Unles and until the process of democratization of mass media/ national media takes place, Dalits have to wait for balanced news reporting in national media. There are millions stories out there waiting to be told. If only we allow the story tellers to do the telling. Media would like to play safe over Dalit maters.
