Communal violance and Media in India
"The Fascism will come to India, in the form of communalism,"
warned, Jawaharlal Nehru, first Indian Prime Minister.
•India is and was always first in incorporating various religions
into its Culture and traditions
•Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism collectively make 2.6 to
3 billion followers
•Hinduism and Buddhism 3rd and 4th largest religions respectively
in the world Today
•All religions in the world are practiced in India with considerable
number of followers
•India also has a long and vast history on Communal violence
Media and various acts
incorporated in constitution
 Article 25 embodied in the Constitution the fundamental
guarantees of freedom of conscience, practice and propagation
of religion.
 Article 28 freedom at religious instruction in certain
educational and cultural institutions
 Article 28 and 50 the protection of the cultural and educational
rights of minorities
 Article 19 (1) embodies the faith our constitution framers had
in the press of the country in promoting the above principles.
 Press (Objectionable Matters) Act, 1951
 Delivering of Books and Newspapers (Public Libraries) Act,
1954
 Working Journalists (Conditions of Services) and
Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1955
 Newspaper (Price and Page) Act, 1956
 Parliamentary Proceedings (Protection of Publications) Act,
1960.
Media as Stenographers
 Innocent people framed and acquitted with the help of media
 Dhaula Kuan encounter case
 RTI enquiry
 No Punishment for Officials
 Mis - Interpretation of facts in records
History of Religious violence in
India
Communal violence in India is rarely spontaneous.
It is mostly engineered
 Partition of British India (1947)
 Karnataka Riots
 Gujarat communal riots (1969)
 Anti-Sikh Riots (1984)
 Ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus
 Religious involvement in North-East India Militancy
 Anti-Muslim violence
 Anti-Christian violence
 Anti-Hindu violence
Comparison between media reports
and ground reality during communal
violence
 Assam Riots
 Hyderabad Riots in 1990’s and 2010
 Kandhamal Riots
International human rights
reports
 Criticised the functioning of Indian Secularism and the rise of
Communalism in India
Problems, short comings and
solutions for Indian Media
 Political ownership
 Lack of training
 Excess of media houses and coverage
 Less participation of Minorities in Journalism
 Paid news
 Theories from two sides have to be taken.
Conclusion
 In a country like India with the kind of freedom the media
houses enjoy, media has to be independent, secular and
unbiased and because media is considered the 4th pillar of
democracy it has to play a major role in finding the culprits
behind caste and communal riots with the help of its
investigation teams and help the victims and the government in
serving Justice which is not the case with Indian media.
Thank you
