WHY MEDIA IS PROMOTING SUPERSITIONS AND GHOST STORIES ?

ARVIND K.PANDEY

Well, media in our times is primarily money oriented. It needs money to conduct its business. Money in our times comes easily via sex related stories or via “bhoot- pret” (ghost) stories. So every other magazine is either conducting dubious surveys hovering around our sexual preferences or if that’s not being done then new columns dealing with so-called new ways of healing mind are being introduced. These “merchants of money” are cashing-in-on our basic instincts.

If that’s not treated as anti-women revelation let me inform you all that women, especially ones hailing from affluent class, love to buy magazines/newspapers only to read astrological predictions.

Then these women alone are the most sincere viewers of “Bhoot-pret” (ghost)stories showed on various channels. In other words, they are responsible for high TRP enjoyed by these serials! They are the first ones to visit many so-called Babas with names like “Mobile Baba” or “Cycle Walein Baba”.

It’s time for us to become religious or spiritual in real way. It’s the only way to eliminate superstitions from our lives. When you are really spiritual you come to kill superstitions forever .
