How far can you agree or disagree with the views expressed in this article? Cultural Studies and Post colonialism?
This issue is not new rather it is
age- old practice of people. This was initiated from the days when the society
got divided into two halves that is- the rich (superior) and the poor
(inferior). The Britishers when ruled India for a decade, forced the historians
to write what they wanted to be written. They portrayed the positive sides of
their rule but kept the negative sides of their rule hidden under the pen. As
of about there are few such Journalists of today’s world who does the same,
they easily get bribed and show the news for which they are being paid without
trying to look at the other side of the coin. And if any Journalist try to show
the reality they get life threats or are being killed like- Gauri Lankesh, a prominent
Indian journalist critical of Hindu nationalist politics.
If any writer writes about the
darker side of India then Indians standing on their one feet start criticizing
in them such way as if India is a country full of roses for all of its citizens.
When these writers gets recognized by the Westerners than also they are being
trolled and are said as if they had sold their Country in the hands of the
Westerners. When they are being awarded outside India then only India opens
eyes saying he or she are the children of India and start giving awards to them.
It’s like someone has to wake India in every aspect till date.
Literature doesn’t means only to
portray the honey-dipped taste of a Country or a place but also to portray the
bitter gourd taste.
