Time to think about farmers.



Hey this is ankit, I am a media student. During my holidays i went to my village in vaishali district which is in bihar. While enjoying my holidays i went through some parts of village and near by places.  What i saw was really dissapointing and discouraging, farm feild were vacant,  there were no sign of any farming in most of the feilds.  I talked to many farmers , there were few reasons but the most common reason was regarding irrigation. They told me rain didn't happen enough so that they could farm and produce anything. When i asked that there are many schemes through which tubewells are provided to farmers , Haven't u got it,  eveybody said NO. After talking a bit i got to know those people who were totally dependent on farming used to produce their  wheat,  musturd, pulses etc  and earn revenue from it but this year except wheat they were not even able to produce even for their own uses.

We are in 21st century and still dependent on rain, conntries like america,  china, austria and many others are spreading pesticides through aeroplanes and seriously look us.. 

Don't u think that time has come to think about farming,  farmers who do a lot of hard work in worst conditions,   so that we could eat all the time instead of only taiking and debating abt intollerace, beef matter,  political issues.

Democracy allows protest, not violence and death with it.

We have seen many popular protests in India. Some were democratic and some were non-violent and undemocratic. Famous Anna Hazare’s agitation for Lokpal Bill in country’s Capital was non-violent and very cooperative. Jat Agitation in country was violent and the government lost crores. And then there were people who went mad over arresting of Ram Rahim Baba. Here also we lost capitals. Before few days farmers were protesting in Maharashtra which was very silent and non-violent. Protests and agitations makes democracy beautiful but on the name of them if you are involved in killing of people how could you justify it. Great Mahatma Gandhi had many shades, his best one was non-violence. However, some people think that there were instances where he should have gone against it. The country lost millions of Capital with the Bharat Bandh today when people were on road protesting against the decision of supreme court in making changes in SC\ST act. Disagreeing with the decision and marchi...

Chapter 2, We played Cricket on mountains

In chapter 1, I opened about how I got into this mass communication. In this chapter I will tell you about the experiences of field. When I was done with graduation, I was looking for a job. Even though I wanted it to be related to journalism but I didn’t get one. There were people back from hometown telling me to find one and utilise my time.   My brother had a friend, who got me hooked with my first job as a content writer which didn’t last more than 20 days. Neither I enjoyed working there nor they paid enough for me to stay. Once, when I was working there I got a call from someone whom I knew from my previous internship asking me to work for a   web portal in Himachal Pradesh. I was more than happy to take that offer into consideration and after talking to my parents I finally decided to take that. That’s how I reached Himachal Pradesh probably one of the beautiful places I have ever been and found myself a dream job. It was really awesome roaming between mountain...
