What directions for Amrita TV news division?

WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION?

Imagine a Television station reporting that peace loving Hindus celebrating cultural festivals are in a communal frenzy! Now imagine that the same TV reporting Islamic terrorists gathered to galvanize communalists as peaceful religious gathering! Finally, imagine that after all these hostile reporting against the majority community, the TV station has escalated venomous attack against Hindu organizational leaders. Unfortunately, you don’t have to imagine any of these things because they actually happened at Amrita TV News Division. Even worse, these are hardly isolated incidents. Simply put, news reporting practices of Amrita TV is in need of solid management, credibility, commitment and community accountability. The sad news is that Amrita TV News Division is fully under the control of hardcore, anti-Hindu card holding Marxists. They are committed Marxist agents hiding behind the News Division to inject anti Hindu venom in the minds of TV viewers.
Many of the problems with Amrita TV’s News Division stem from a dramatic infiltration of Marxist Journalists and pseudo secular Jihadi supporters. Since 2005 anti Hindu reporting and politically motivated rhetoric has escalated. The myopic leftwing TV journalists create an artificial and jaundiced perspective on Hindu organizations and cultural activities. They are unable or unwilling to expose the real terrorists or anti national elements roaming all over Kerala. There are several Jihadi organizations and Missionary groups in Kerala, which mislabel and show false secular representations to hide their pervasive pretext. Amrita TV News Division seldom looks into their operations, financing, activities and conduct. Amrita TV’s deliberate and malicious reports to tarnish the reputation of Hindu intellectuals and its leaders is provocative. Drawing heavily on our own and majority of TV viewers experience, we have identified several instances where Amrita TV news division displayed their insensitivity, prejudice and blatant disregard of journalistic ethics. As evidence by the news reports of Amrita TV, the following instances are cited to show Amrita TV News Division’s lack of sensitivity, performance accountability, fair and balanced reporting.
Few months back Amrita TV program titled “Nadakame Ulakam” indirectly ridiculed Parameswarji (He was awarded “AMRITAKEERTHI PURASKARAM” by Mata Amritanandamai Devi) when he was giving lemon juice to RSS senior leader Valsan Thillenkeri while ending his fasting.
Amrita TV news division denigrated the nationalist Valsan Thillenkari by comparing him to the notorious Bihar criminal Pappu Yadav who is now locked up in prison.
The hardcore Islamic terrorist Abdul Nazer Madani and his supporting members of the terrorist organization NDF, its mouthpiece Thejas and their terrorist activities are projected as cultural expression.
RSS, Hindu Ayika Vedi and Hindu cultural activities are projected as communal disturbances by Amrita New & current affairs division.
Few months back Amma made a visit to RSS Head Quarter in Nagpur during the centenary celebration of Guruji. Amrita TV deliberately downplayed the news and warned to Amrita TV reporter who sent the news to the television station.
Amrita TV has completely blacked out the Guruji Centenary celebrations conducted all over Kerala and the Hindu Maha Sammelan at Thiruananthapuram where thousands of people attended.
Amrita TV showed its arrogance when it failed to properly telecast the Samadhi of Swamiji Sathyananda Saraswathi of Sri Ramadasa Matt. But the same channel broadcasted with live coverage of the funeral ceremony of Malankara Arch Bishop!.
The majority community is at a loss to understand how Amrita TV blacked out the recently concluded Cherkolpuzha Hindu Maha Sammelanan.
Amrita TV was the only television channel in Kerala which openly demanded on the eve of the state assembly elections that hardcore Islamic terrorist Madani who is currently detained at Coimbatore jail should be released.
As per one of the Amrita current affairs program ‘Nadakame Ulakam’, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is a Hindu fascist and senior Hindu organization leaders in Kerala P. Parameswarji, Kummanam Rajasekharan, J. Sisupalan etc.. are also Hindu fascists!.
It is invariably noticed Amrita News comparing an 80 year old nation’s biggest cultural organization RSS with a Kerala based deadly terrorist organization NDF. As per Amrita News division RSS-NDF is one coin of two sides.
Since its inception Amrita News failed to report a single story about serious issues like forcible conversion, Islamic terrorist activities, Criminal activities by Marxists, Illegal cow killing across the state, government involvement over Hindu temples and institutions etc.
What is real truth behind projecting Islamic terrorist organizations and Missionary sabotage activities as service to the nation? Evidence suggests that Amrita TV news Division is in complete control of the Marxists. These hidden agents of the Marxist party move around in a greater variety of ways to sabotage spiritual services of the Matt and Hindu organizations in Kerala. Amrita TV news division reflects the planning acumen, strategic techniques and sophistication of the Marxist party.
Amrita TV is under the control of the Mata Amritanandamaidevi Matt. The news division Chief Neelan is a card holding member of the Marxist party (CPM). The Chief Operating Officer (Marketing) Suresh Narayanan is another CPM man. The technical in charge of the Channel SMC Pillai is a close confident of the Marxist Party General Secretary Pinarayi Vijayan, an ardent anti Hindu. Apart from these, more than 80% of staffs selected for Amrita News & Current affairs division are identified as CPI(M) background journalists.
It is important that management leaders responsible for Amrita TV News Division respond to the urgent problem of unbalance, hostile and negative reporting on Hindus. It is equally important that they establish a supervisory management system to adopt a fair and balanced news reporting policies. Despite much progress over the past several years, there remains a web of Marxist agents that promotes anti-Hindu rhetoric and hostile propaganda against Hindu organizations.
Stale, inflexible, pseudo secular, anti-Hindu culture exists within the News Division of Amrita TV. The management must impose additional conditions to overcome these programming prejudices. A closer look at Amrita TV’s News reporting suggests that an entirely new team, a new approach, using fair and balanced reporting by fair-minded professionals is needed.
Amrita TV management must understand these challenges and recognize the stakes and find a solution to end the erosion of fairness and bias by enlisting guidance from some of the nation’s top nationalist and cultural leaders as well as professionals. Amrita TV must consult with Hindu organizations and community leaders to lay out a road map for improving the News Division performance.
As supporters of Amrita institutions, social services and the TV, we are not interested in assigning blame for the news division’s short coming to spiritual leaders of the Matam. Instead Amrita TV executives must pledge to roll up their sleeves to build realistic solutions to the ongoing prejudices of the news division Marxists. We are requesting Amrita TV executives to better utilize their resources to hire, recruit, and train fair-minded professional TV reporters and news anchorman. We support Amrita institutions, its peace mission, inspiring spiritual services and cultural goals.
We hope Amrita TV quickly reach a consensus about what some of the common characteristics of the solutions should be. They would look into the ideological affiliation of the news division staff, identify and address their hostility towards Hindus, Hindu cultural leaders and implement successful, all inclusive, innovative and fair, ethical news gathering and reporting systems to project the idealism and aspirations of the majority of Amrita TV viewers.Posted on 2/25/2007 by HK Correspondant

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Haindava Keralam has shown the way by having a site that is enthusiastically and vibrantly Hindutva minded. We must go ahead and have a Hindutva minded TV channel, eventually in all Indian languages and English. Such a network of TV channels is a must even from RSS organisational point of view. A brilliant strategist like Kummanam Rajashekaran should be assigned by Sangha to bring this project to fruition.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Pls let's join on the mission to start Haindava Keralam TV channel. Pls start a new page for that. Lot of Hindus are ready to invest. Let's start it with 100 Rs share.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? The comments by various readers are interesting!. What is going on this channel is quite shocking. Did anybody noticed one of their current affairs program, they said those who assembled at Putharikandam Maidan to hear Narendra Modi’s speech were given Rs 300 each and a food parcel. The biggest joke is Swami Sivamrita Chaithanya, head of Thiruvananthapuram Amritanandami Asharam was also attended that function. As per this statement by the Amrita TV, Swami Sivamrita was also came there to collect Rs. 300/- plus a food parcel.!! Most surprisingly those made this allegation is still existing in this channel. If it continues, they would not even hesitate to criticize Mata Amritanandamai Devi in the coming days. Its better to close down this channel than continue like this.
Manoj 2/24/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Sir,Simply making an apology is not enough. The commies team of Amrita News division headed by Neelan & Santhosh must leave this channel. No compromise. I hope the Amrita viewers noticed the explanation they gave while making apology. They said in the ancient days also similar types of jokes / laughing out against individuals were happened including against the King. What a foolish explanation!!!!. Here the issue is they used to criticize / laugh out only against Hindu organization or its leaders to implement their hidden agenda as directed by the AKG Center. I challenge these Neelan & team let them laugh out Pope Benedict, Mohammed Nabi, St. Thomas or at least the Panakkad Shihab Ali Thangal and see the consequences. Manoj

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Koodos to sriMS Giri and RV Babu for sending notice to santhosh of amrita channel who senselessly criticised Gujarath CM Sri Narendra modi and raised baseless allegation against the tvm Hindu maha mela.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Respected Dr.A.M.C.Menon, Tank You very much for taking up such a noble cause, which is the desire and dream of every Hindu. Please update us on the progress of your project. Haindava Keralam may devote a special section for following it up. It could be a community contributed effort by floating shares. Hope it will not take the course of 'Mathrubhumi' daily.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? I am a devotee of our most beloved Amma . It is sometimes ridiculous and painful to see the scenes in Amrita TV. We have become doubtful whether it is totally under the control of the Math or mostly under the control of the CPM pseudo-secularists. It looks as is the CPM men have allowed the TV company to show some spiritual contents also. More than the CPM tricks the channel seems to be projecting too much of anti-hindu sentiments. Amma's good devotees and like minded average hindus who are regarding Amma as an epitme and everything of the Hindu causes won't tolerate this. Remember She was once honoured the Hindu of the year and was the chairperson of a world hindu summit. We hope that only Amma and no one else can resurrect the lost hindu values in this world. As an example in a recent edition of AMMOYODOPPAM which we all relish to see again and again, her Kodungalloor programme was shown, there was an " unnecessary " description for more than three minutes on the Chermanperumal Mosque. What is the relevance of uttering the false historical facts like Perumal a muslim king was originally a hindu etc. The narration of the history of the palces and the false messages on facts is of no interest to the viewers if Amrita TV. Rather they would like to see more of Amma's visuals. I think Manoj Manayil should take care of this. It is better not to talk about the totally procommunist, anti- hindu news of the TV. There will be no end if we go to details and examples. Why should the TV compromise too much an dappease the minorities like these ? Is it not pseudosecularism ? We hindus expect more better treatment from TV. Manoj Manayil acts like a hindu scholar but giving wrong inputs to viewers in programme like Pradakshinam and Sandhyadeepam.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? A New Channel I appreciate Kavitha Menon’s idea and I offer my alacrity to take up the challenge. I can point out the right person to mobilize and organize just the team to launch a channel for Haindavakeralam ; also I can show you a couple of millionaires who will be able to handle the financial part along with a lot others to follow suit.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? (1) I have stopped watching Amrita TV.(2) I am preparing a letter to them, expressing my anguish over the comments they made about the Hindu Maha Mela held at Thiruvananthapuram. One Svamiji from Amrita matt was also present on the stage and the channel said it was a function of communalists!!!(3) About being called fascist - people have now started openly questioning the usage of this much-abused word against Hindus.(Eg:- http://marumozhy.blogspot.com/2007/02/blog-post.html- A malayalam blog)(4) Another word is getting popularised now.KOOSISMThe people like the marxists and muslim terrorists who call themselves as secularists and act as communalists, are called KOOSISTS.An interesting malayalam blog explains thishttp://koosism-exposed.blogspot.com

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? As a Hindu, I follow this website which is updated regularly and I thank you everybody for their effort.The newsitem related with Amrita TV shows importance of news/media in today's world, and how desperate Marxists have become to control the mind of people.I think the only way to confront this is to build an alternate medium where real news can be dissimated. These are cheap ways, and Hindus cannot be stopped by these tactics for long.Its just a matter of time that Communists will be history even from Kerala and West Bengal.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Many elderly people watch Amritha News and believe it as Holy Truth. Many people watch sandhyadeepam which spreads lots of mis-information. Most of the stories in "Sandyadeepam" are childish and against the basic tenants of "Sanathana Dharma".Amritha TV is more of a curse to Hindus than a boon. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to start our own channel. Amritha TV's programs are also not upto any standards of the organisation said to be running it. Comapre it with Shalom and Jeevan TV!We may approach Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for a true Malayalam Hindu Channel.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? I've read most of the comments and I join with them in condemning the attitude of News Division.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? It is the result of strategic infilteration of media rowdies in the media and pursuing their version of journalistic culture to malign whatever is dear to the hindus of this country and especially in Kerala.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? This intrusion of Anti Hindu forces in the News Channel is actually an intelligent and long lasting corruption issuse, with far reaching effects.Its the duty of every Hindu to make sure that Amma is aware of these facts.
Sandeep 2/20/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Yesterday while watching Sandhyadeepam programme on Amrita TV, I noticed another shocking thing. The anchor was describing Kaliyamardana and atlast she said Bhagvan killed Kalya. I immediatly called Amrita TV and I got mobile number of producer Mr. Manoj. I expressed my protest on his great mistake. He too agreed that Kaliya was not killed by Krishna bhagvan, but Bhagvan let kaliya to escape to Ramanka island. Mr. Manoj said he will clear the mistake on next episode. I further expressed my anger over Parmeswarji issue. Mr. Manoj was also against Amrita news devision. He said when the issue was happend Amma and other swamies were in Tamilnadu. When Amma got the news, she immediatly called Neelan to Ashram and warned him. Neelan was sharply critisised by other swamies. Most of the Amrita team members hate Neelan and news devision.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Please donot compare Amrita with amrita TV..Amritia TV is Businees venture,the partners and propriters will try to promote and accunilate audiance to the maximum, for which they will play any faul game.Let us Hope ,Amrita TV will match with Amrita soon.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Please send a mass memorandum to the matt, may or may not they changed / ignored, even like before, SNDP, whose leaders before said we are not Hindus, thru the letter they might have changed a bit. Also teach our children journalism or legaal matters, history as well. and make protect thru' attacking mentality by word to word.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Dear all,This is the main problem which we are facing from the past long years.But this is also good becouse some people like us, now n atlast started work against these type of activities.The main thing which we want to understand that these type of people are using our cultural names.For eg.The Hindu News paper, now Amrita etc. And this is very dangerous that a reputed hindu channel which is introduced by our amma, is publishing these type of news.Now our brothers are using anti-hindu news and posters for getting more attention in their business,eg.in a hindu shope u can see a Chris or makka picture. They are thinking that they will get a good name in the community ,if they did like this. What a dangerous problem which are creating our own brothers to Our oun Mother-Hindu.So we can start...for us.
Gireesh 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Dear Kalidasji,I respect your devotion to positive reinforcement and your belief in the ultimate victory of character. So kindly take my response as that of one who is ‘Rajasik’ as opposed to Satvik.Speaking of PP Doctorji, has not Doctorji emphasized on the need for robust Hindu strength to protect the Hindu Samaj ? When Parampujya Guruji was addressing a sankhik at Trivandrum and the Marxists tried to attack that meeting, we had swayamsevaks defending the meeting with the ‘danda’ in his presence. Some battles cannot be avoided. So too in the realm of the media.I believe that Mata Amrithanandamayi is the best thing that has happened to the Hindus of Kerala after the Sangh. Those who seek to weaken us may try to drive a wedge between Mata and us. This has to be avoided. Yet, in Kerala we face ‘Thridosha’ – Communism , Islam and Christianity combined. The Hindu majority here itself is tenuous. The reality of Kerala has imposed upon the Hindu forces the need for entirely different strategies and attitudes.And so…when we speak of ‘the path of stones and thorns’ in Kerala this path involves the judicious use of strength, persistence, and patience. Even when our head is at the level of the clouds, guided by noble thoughts and intentions, our feet should be firmly on the ground. I feel a healthy blend of Yin and Yang is called for.-Gireesh
KALIDAS,Mumbai 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Dear Brothers & Sisters,Though I can understand & I also respect the emotional outburst of all the readers who expressed their opinion, we should not forget the fact that the task before is to infuse SANGH VICHARDHARA [ Sangh ideology ] in to ALL , not by coercive force but by OUR SUSHEELA [ sweetness of our character ].Patience, Perseverance, Persistence all add to sweetness of OUR character. I just read solutions suggested by some readers like Presenting a Mass petition to AMMA for removing Neelan & Co. from AMRITA TV’s news division, starting a new channel etc. These , I think are short sighted solutions. When Param Poojya Doctorji thought of organising HINDU society and started SANGH, the road before him was full of THORNS. He accepted the challenges before him and succeeded in building EXCELLENT HINDU ORGANISATION. He never resorted to any short cuts.As true followers of Doctroji, we should undertake a challenge that is nothing but ‘HINDUISING’ all the media giants including KAIRALI channel.From the words of some readers which came from their heart, I can understand they are really SAD & ANGRY. These brethren over-expected that AMRITA will resort to a IMPARTIAL stance. But that they did not happen . Let us first strive to make it a IMPARTIAL News Channel and as a next step as a sibling of HAINDAVA KERALAM in Television NEWS channel field. As pointed by one of reader , we should never consider it as a plot hatched by AMMA or Mutt. We should not forget the fact that AMMA is the embodiment of TYAGA [ which Param Pavitra Bhagva Dhwaj is representing ] and we should be careful our reactions should in no way denigrate AMMA or Mutt’s activities. A Marxian gameplan to create rift in VISHALA HINDU PARIVAR cannot be ruled out.
mithun 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? dear sir,what sandeep told is 100 percent true.before the launch of the channel,wat was said was ,it was a channel to spread the ideals and messages of AMMA.even i and my friends campaingned vigruosly for the channel among our friends thinking that it will help a lot in spreading sanatana dharma...but one of my friends whom i introduced the channel called up me one day and asked to turn on amrita tv and to my shock it was the program sandeep mentioned...different ways to cook beef....contrast it with yesterdays 'AMMAYUDE KUDE' program were AMMA was seen hugging ,kissing and feeding cows and calfs at coimbatore vishva vidyapeetham campus....kali kaalam, if then wat else, OM AMRITESHVARIYEE NAMAH..

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Dear SandeepThe information what you gave us is really SHOCKING. One side AMMA, founder of Mata Amritanandamai Mutt and Amrita Telecommunication Pvt. Limited (Amrita TV) is performing GO POOJA and the other side her own AMRITA TV is teaching us how to cook BEEF!!!!. Now the big question is if AMMA is nothing to do with Amrita TV, then this channel is belongs to whom?? Suresh
KAVITHA MENON 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? I DON’T KNOW WHY WE PEOPLE ARE CRYING BEFORE THIS COMMUNIST SPONSORED AMRITA TV. INSTEAD WE SHOULD LAUNCH AN ALTERNATIVE CHANNEL AND CHALLENGE THEM. CHALLENGE THEM PROFESSIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY. THAT IS THE WAY WE SHOULD RETALIATE NOT DISCUSSING HERE. THERE ARE MILLIONAIRES IN HINDU COMMUNITY ACROSS THE WORLD. SO MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE. THE QUESTION IS WHO WILL TAKE INITIATIVE??
sandeep 2/19/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Two months before, my father noticed that a programme on Amrita called " Tastes of Kerala" which was briefing how to cook beef. I immediatly called to Amrita TV Thiruvananthapuram. I had a talk with Amrita TV's officials. The reply I got was shocking. The person who talked with me was shouting, " it is just a programme, there is nothing to protest'. I replied with a news from www.amritapuri.org on which Amma was doing GO POOJA. Then he said " Amrita TV has nothing to do with Amma's GO POOJA". I send a fax to Amrita TV office on the same issue with photo and news of Amma offering GO POOJA on Ashram. There are few criminals inside Amrita TV who are just there to theft money. We need to kick them out.
Pradeep Kumar 2/18/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Only discusing here is not enough to make this channel in order. Let all devotees whenever they meet AMMA for blessing, tell her about these nonsense going on in this channel. Tell AMMA about the dangerious hidden agenda & the communists involvement in this channel. Give her some example also. Just imagine suppose if one lack devotees complained to AMMA against the news division of Amrita TV, the next hour this Neelan & Team will be kicked out from Amrita Office. So public support is very very importent. Let us all make maximum awareness among public and Amma's devotees about the nonsense going on this channel.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? MY BROTHERS,I AM SADDENED AS MANY OF US ARE AT THE PLIGHT OF THE AMRITA TV . I AM MORE SADDENED BY THE GUILIBILITY OF MY FRIENDS WHO STILL BELIEVE THAT WE CAN FIGHT OUR WAR WITH A WEAPON IN ANOTHER PERSON'S HAND. JUST AS MANY OF US WERE MISTAKEN IN OUR BELIEF THAT HINDU UNITY COULD BE ACHIEVE BY A NARAYANA PANNIKKER - VELLAPALLI ALLAIANCE , OUR BELIEF IN AMRITA TV IS SEEN TO BE MISPLACED.LIKE NSS AND SNDP,AMRITA TV HAS ITS OWN AGENDA.OUR (MEDIA)WAR HAS TO BE FOUGHT WITH WEAPONS IN OUR OWN HANDS.WE HAVE TO FORGE NEW WEAPONS. WE HAVE TO SHARPEN THE WEAPONS AT HAND..WEAPONS LIKE ...THE 'JANMABHOOMI' NEWPAPER...YES..IT IS NOT EASY.BUT THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS.ONLY THE PATH OF STONES AND THORNS 'KANDAKAKEERNA MARGAM'WILL TAKE US TO WHERE WE WANT TO REACH..-GIREESH

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Its good you people take up this matter seriously. I had sent them more than 15 letters about this matter but not received single reply. Now I stopped writing them. They have their own agenda so why they should listen us?. Now I completely stopped watching Amrita News but I am a regular viewer of their other programs.regards Dr.Ranjit
nanda 2/18/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Yes it is a truth that the Channel which aroused much hope and relief in the general hindu mind is drifting away from the very ethos and cultural identity which HER HOLINESS AMMA herself propagates. This trend is to be curbed. But one serious thing I want to highlight is the unity among ourselves, ie the movements and institutions trying to strengthen Hindutva. Some forces are making problem among us. Be careful about that factor too.
ben gurion 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Om Amriteswarye NamahWhat this channel is up to, or to be more precise what this Com;Neelan and co are up to? Thrown out of other prestegous medias due to the reasons quiet obvious, which my culture doesn't permitt to elaborate, are clinging to Amrita's goodwill like parasites. I'm wondering why the authorities of mutt and the revered Swami's are not aware about all these facts? Those who are calling AMMA a DemiGod are at the helm of affairs. You've done a marvellous job in investigating all details, but why did you ignore the ridiculous scoop of one of its reporters about the involvement of RSS involvement in marad riot. Not even kairali dare to telecast such a foolishness. But why on earth HK ignore it? Was it because the mouth piece of RSS,Kesari gave away the best young journalist award to that particular reporter who reported that rubbish.
Raj Nair 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? It is time now that HIndus must seriously take initiative to start their own TV or better purchase one (I think this is better idea because the pseudo secular government in central as its policy for appeasing deseart religions, do not give license to a pro Hindu Televison Channel). Why not each statewise Hindu Organization (like Hindu Aikya Vedi in Kerala)start mobilizing funds for this noble event. It is past the time now, to expose the anti national, anti HIndu Kommunists, racist deseart religion leaders, corrupt congress party leaders, people like Madini, corrupt judges, and spread true ideals of Hinduism. Recentrly I am viewing on every month in Asianet a sort of "Mongolian Kids look like" Marxist Leaders getting off from their car and getting into a building to a room with century old files in their hand for "the so called Nonsense polit Bureau Meeting, to find more ways to destroy Hindu religion and Indian values.

Rajasekhara Panicker 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Hk unnoticed one more thing in Amrita News. If there is any protest march by ABVP, Yova Morch, BJP, HAV with less number of people Amrita News will defenetely broadcast that news. But if there is any major pro Hindu fuctions attended by mass public they will totally ignore it. For e.g recenly there was an ABVP march in Trivandrum and some other places but the number of participents were less but Amrita lifted that news. Today there was a march by Yuva Morcha activists to Trivandrum Airport, the number was very less, Amrita shown it. But the same Amrita News totally blacked out 150 Hindu Mala Sammelans across Kerala for the last one month which was attended by thousands of people. Amrita was hardly shown 5-6 programs that also with minimum coverage. This is one of their hidden agenda.
Krishnappa Palar 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Yes. I too noticed now a days there is not much difference between Kairali TV news & Amritha News. I think it is because the so called talent persons like Dr. Santhosh Kumar's full control over each and evry news related programme in the channel.What to do? Only when malayali hindu people start think and act seriosly these things will change.
S Jain 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Well the simple answer to all these problem is that we have to start our news channel. Please please stop expecting someone else to give you any coverage or respect. Respect is earned and not given.Just like it is foolish for a muslim organiation to expect proper coverage from Haindarav Keralam. We should stop wishing that someone else will give our due respect. We need to earn it, and not beg for it and cry like the author of this article, every time some commi doesn't like us.I am tried of hearing Hindus bitch about someone else treating us poorly in media.Haindava Keralam has shown the way by creating a website which provides alternate source of news for the Hindu masses. This action needs to be repeated by other like minded Hindu and especially Hindu organizations such as RSS, VHP.Rather than complainting about others, lets create our own media by way of Internet, Community Radio, Local Newspapers and then maybe Television.
radha,ankamaly 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? absolutely correct.stop watching amrita news.one of the readerrightly pointed out.asianet news is better now.but there aresome non news programme in amrita which are good.any how we badly need a hindu t.v channel.
Vijayalakshmi 2/17/2007
Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? I am glad that you have done some good investigation into the Minority-Marxist nexus controling Amrita TV, about which I mentioned a few times in my comments on Haindavakeralam website.Most people like me were eagerly waiting for watching Amrita TV programmes.We were told that they will be showing only 'positive' programmes.including the TV serials.Unfortunately,the quality of the Serials is 'very bad'. DD 4(Malayalam) serials are of good quality,whereas Amrita TV serials are the worst!I am sure this 'infiltration' by the Minority-Marxist nexus into Amrita News Division and Entertainment sections is a pre-planned move with ulterior motives! As a regular viewer of Amrita TV, I find the news broadcast very biased and anti-Hindu. Some weeks ago there was a 2-day SNDP Yogam which was telecast 'live'. It was 'live' only in name! Sooshmananda seems to be a marxist 'mole'.Despite his losing the election to Swami Prakashananda,his faction still seems to weild power in SNDP.so they managed to invite the communist CM,whose entire speech,peppered with references to his favourite 'communal elements-bashing' was given full coverage. A young Hindu leader's speech was 'blacked-out'.So also was Swami Prakashananda's speech! I particularly noticed the pain in the Swami's speech,but we were not allowed to listen to what he had to say.Amrita TV camera deliberately strayed elsewhere, so as not to 'cover' the Swami's speech and the Hindu leader's. This much for their 'live coverage'!'Nadakame Ulagam' also has an anti-Hindu Santosh Kumar,sometimes leaving bitter taste in our mouth. He also passes ill-conceived comments, in Pathra visesham, like 'why should BJP and Hindu organizations object to the privileges being given by the Govt for muslims,based on the Sachar Committee report about the backwardness of muslims.'We know that the Sachar Report has no 'sach'(truth)in it- it is a 'manipulated' one.In Kerala, Muslims are the richest community.Who can refute this?It is a fact that there is a well-planned scheme by the Marxist-Minority nexus to infiltrate our Hindu organizations and Mutts to 'sabotage' and cause in-fighting from within. Let all of them be warned of the evil designs of the marxists.Some months back,RSS wanted Amma's blessing for a magazine of theirs.Inspite of approaching the Mutt several times,they did not get it- somebody is manipulating there already!

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? Why we are worried this amrita. watch asianet news. its far better than this amrita. specially for the last 2 months there is significant changes on asianet news policies. now you can see hindu aikya vedi / vhp related news as flash news in asianet. Nowadays asianet launched massive attack against CPM. let us forget this amrita and watch asianet for time being till we get a real patriot channel in kerala.

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? The contents of this article is true & its true many people now stopped watching amrita news but be very careful while writing anything against Amma's institutions. Various sources indicates that the present policy of amrita news division is part of a biggest mission to create rift between AMMA-RSS. mANY marxists / congress leaders from Kerala are behind this. Few cpm leaders are very close associate with amrita news chief and some other sr. journalist there. so let us not fall in to their evil design and the criticism should not go beyond amrita news division.sincerely

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? NamastheOnly remembering AMMAS word.BE CAREFULL THE ILLNESS IS WITHIN YOU...As we hindus think or supposed to think that amrita channel is our's, this illness creating bacterias in the form of NEELANS etc etc are inside us.Give immediate medicine to our body...We some of gulf viewers allready discussed this matter early and decide to switch of this channel as early as possible and to spread this among others hindu viewrs....As you know most of the hindu family outside our home country were pressing our kids to watch amrita tv as a big relaxation and santhi to ourselves to teach them our dharma little by littleAny how now we worry to open this channel as this playing the part of POOTHANA.....Regards vinodh c

Re: WHAT DIRECTIONS FOR AMRITA TV NEWS DIVISION? This is a fact....the channels' news divison is trying to impress Leftsist pseudo intellectuals from the begining. For them Prof M N Vijayan who justified the killing of Jayakrishnan master is an intellectual and idelogue, but P Parameshwarji is an outcast...there is deliberate agenda behind all this ...Amrita is trying to become B team of asianet...While trying to expose this...one should be very careful not to denigenerate the Madom and our Swamis....because that is exactly these people want...they want RSS and other Hindu organisations to turn against the channel..they want to create a rift...between Amma and RSS...so that it is easy for them to carry on with their agenda...so let the fight be against the "intellectuals" planted by AKG centre in Amrita....
