When we turn on a television set, we get a range of channels to keep us informed and entertained for all the 7 days of a week. When we browse the internet, an ocean of information floods at a click of a mouse. I guess we are just way to lucky to live in this era of advanced technology. These media plays a very crucial role in our day to day life in shaping our beliefs, perceptions, ideas, values and our behaviour in the society. It is a powerful medium of education and entertainment in numerous ways. But did we ever stop for a while and think what impact exactly is the media leaving on you, me, our family, on the coming generation and the society?

Our society is rampant with corruption, crime, etc. and many a times media plays the role of adding fuel to aggressive behaviour, violence, sex, obscenity etc. however more over in the younger generation.

The following two posts will deal with such issues. It is to be noted that the following posts are analysis of five research papers each post. The first post will be a brief analysis on the effects of violence in media and the second on the sexual content in media. Each post has a bibliography of the research papers followed for this project.

Justice Delayed Is Better Than Justice Denied...


           

 After 10 long years, the India judiciary has woken up from its sleep. Out of the 2 important and right verdicts, namely Kasab’s death sentence and secondly the Naroda Pati massacre, were passed by the apex court of India. The Naroda victims will finally be at peace as justice will be awarded to them.


            Maya Kodnani along with 32 other convicts was accused for the 2002 Godhra train slaughter. This verdict is regarded as landmark one. It is for the first time that an Indian court has ever convicted a sitting MLA — Maya Kodnani who was also a minister in Narendra Modi’s government 2007- 2009. She was accused for mob aggression against members of a religious community. All the 32 convicts should be punished, particularly, Maya Kodnani who despite being a woman had lead to such a bloodshed which included more of women and children. Not only has this but also, later, case of gang rape and sexual harassment were observed.  If Kasab is guilty of killing innocent Indians as are the Godhra case convicts. They should be punished for their heinous crime and then and only then justice will be served. These convicts do not deserve a place in the society.

                        Sadly, this ‘stunning verdict’ took 10 years to punish the accused. Our judicial system is a long way road to be entirely justfull at the right moment. But the brighter side is that justice still prevails in India. Justice delayed is at least better than justice denied.
