Why is the media in INDIA so negative?

Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?



We are such a great nation.. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them.. Why?


We are the first in milk production.


We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.


We are the second largest producer of wheat.


We are the second largest producer of rice.


Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.



Look at this example of Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchard and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.


In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.


Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance?  You must proclaim.. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation. We are the one who are going to change this and achieve the dream which every citizen of India has in his/her eyes.
