In childhood, we often listen to this puzzle that how to make a larger line smaller without rubbing it off. And, the method is to make a larger line next to it. It seems people in Indian mass media have recalled this. They tried their level best to paint the current PM black when he was trying to be a candidate in the direction of their bosses. They failed miserably. He came to power and changed the entire discourse from daily debates on corruption and name-shaming to development. This was a shock for these people and they tried to align but neither they were accepted with the same glory as by the previous govt. nor they were capable of such alignment with development debate. To be critical of the agenda of development, one needs to have some knowledge of science, economics, history, etc. These guys with mediocre knowledge and jack-based uplifting found it very difficult, in fact absolutely unbearable. All they know is spoken English and who is their real boss. So, not knowing what to do brought them to their childhood lesson, Make A Bigger Line, i.e. inflate agendas of their scope bigger than the development issues. With the help of some of their likes, they have made the agenda of communal tension, beef, and freedom of speech. Wow, now no need to know the science, economics, and history, life can go on as before! But let's see, how long..let them try this as well!
Found a tweet with a very similar feeling...
विरोध और भड़ास में अंतर समझना चाहिए। विरोध करने के लिए उपयुक्त माहोल चाहिए, भड़ास निकालने के लिए माहोल बनाया जाता है। यह भी आजमा लीजिये
