I always had strong trust in the big business houses of India who have brought India out of misery to a new sunrise of 21st century. I still do remember listening the catch line of Sahara, Bharat hai Hamara Hum Hain Sahara, and feeling happy for it.
But watching the channel Sahara-Mumbai, for last few months, I can sense how distant my hometown is from Mumbai. Being a local channel of Mumbai, in my views, Sahara-Mumbai has lost its directions and responsibilities towards Indian interests. The strong criticism for North Indians I feel in the voice of the anchor, it distract me from feel of listening a responsible media. Its not only disparaging the contribution of North Indians in Indian growth story, but moreover it is dividing the sense of unity in Mumbai. It may be essential for the channel to reap this divide, also I dont know how much intended it is in betterment of Mumbai, All I know is deep down in HEART it hurts HARD.
I do strongly agree that a mass migration from other places does harm the employment opportunities of the local mass. But in words of Thomas Friedman that is what we call a "Flat World". A flannening that India reaped for its growth.
I dont disagree here that it might be my vengeance thats coming out in this article and it may be baseless in the reader's view.
But, being in a profession like mine one doesn't have many places to work in India. With a flatter world, probably its a call for me to move out of Mumbai and probably India.
Let me search for some other world. Mumbai! Wish u a long life .
