Dainik Bhaskar — Castism in news reporting | |
Sir, Time and again I have requested Dainik Bhaskar Jaipur to not be partial to few castes and vindictive towards other Castes while reporting news. Here are two examples 1) in today's Jaipur edition on page number 14 name of a murder accused in bharatpur has been given as Mukesh jat. While everyone knows that in bharatpur people from this community do not write jat as surname. They write Singh and may be a gotra. This is purposely being done to malign the caste. 2)on the contrary two days ago. One person killed his wife named sunita Kanwar for stopping him from drinking .The paper gave his name as manvendra Singh. While everyone knows that person must be having a surname, but your paper did not print it. In most cases when people of thakur community are involved in crime or negative news, there caste and surnames are hidden. Please sensitise your reporters and editors to treat all castes and religions equally. Was this information helpful? | |
