Challenges Facing Print Media In India Today!(A PERSPECTIVE)

Dear Friends,It is good to be here at this National Convention of the

Indian Catholic Press Association (ICPA). I want to thankFr. Alfonso Elengikal, the President of the ICPA, Mr. JoseVincent, the Secretary of ICPA and all others concerned forinviting me to share with you some perspectives on thechallenges facing the print media today. I will of coursefocus on the theme of this Convention, “PROPHETICCHALLENGES BEFORE MEDIA TODAY”.

At the outset, I would like to emphasize two points:i. that the printed word plays a significant and defining

role in the Indian sub-continent todayii. that being engaged in the print media is no longer an

option for us, but a mandate

CHALLENGESHaving said this let me focus on some of the

challenges that the print media faces in the changingcontext of India today.(In order to ensure an economy of words, I will in theremainder of this sharing use the very general term ‘media’even though this Convention focuses on Catholics en-gaged in the print-media)

What then are some of the major challenges which themedia in India faces today?

· The Corporatisation Of The MediaIf there is one single major concern which the media inIndia faces today, it is the way it has been corporatised. Asystematic study of all the big newspapers in the country

will easily reveal that they belong to one or the other of thebig corporate houses. Corporations (be they national ormulti-nationals), we are all aware, have their own agenda.They are determined by the ideology of that particularcorporation, by profit-making and in most instances, theywould not want to disturb the ‘status quo’ or to rock theboat. When media is taken over by such houses, the end-game is blatantly clear: our minds, our thought-processesare determined in a particular way.

· The Commercialisation Of The MediaIn our Centre ‘PRASHANT’, we focus on human rights,justice and peace and a key dimension of our work is thescanning and documenting from eighteen major dailynewspapers in English, Gujarati and Hindi. It is simplyunbelievable that these past few days, in several newspa-pers five and even seven pages are devoted to full-pageadvertisements. The advertisements are varied: of majorsales and discounts; the announcements of brand newproducts and of course, the propaganda of political parties(mainly the BJP). These advertisements certainly cost apretty sum; when one gives importance to such crasscommercialisation, then the newspaper loses its very heartand soul. Remember the big talk of “black money?”

· The Co-option Of The MediaCorporatisation and commercialisation of the media haveplenty to do with its co-option. So in a way, this becomes

Couples seekingannulments should not be‘held hostage' to the pastA major dispute at the recently concluded Extraor

dinary Synod on the Family, described by TokyoArchbishop Peter Takeo Okada as "white hot",

concerned the Church's practice of denying the Eucharistto those who have remarried following a divorce.

In a commentary sent to the Katorikku Shimbun,Japan's national Catholic weekly, the archbishop saidthat "the participating bishops demonstrated one of twoorientations. One was the desire to be pastoral, providingcomfort, encouragement, help and hope to families worn down by pain.... Onthe other hand, some stressed the necessity of deepening the commitment toand conveying the teaching of Christ."

Those who opposed relaxing the rule cited the command of Jesus (Mark10:10-12, modified and softened in Matthew) saying that remarriage followingdivorce is adultery.

Among those hierarchs who most vehemently insist upon literal obser-vance of Jesus's words (though Jesus is never recorded to have spoken at allof either allowing or denying people access to the Eucharist) are some cardinalswhose photos can be found on the Internet showing them wearing the cappamagna, a red cape with a hood lined with ermine or silk that was shortened from15 meters to seven (49 feet to 25 feet) in 1952 and generally disappeared fromecclesiastical haberdashery after Vatican II. Originally, the great length wasintended to cover the rear end of the horse as a bishop or cardinal rode.Reportedly, such a cape costs several thousand dollars — a far cry fromswaddling clothes.

Clearly, those cardinals have found a way to reconcile their fashion sensewith Jesus' stern warning against ostentatious garb for religious leaders whoimpose burdens on others (Matthew 23:2-7).

Apparently, they think that while some verses of Scripture must be takenliterally, others may be pursued as optional ideals for the heroically holy, some

can be entertained as mere sugges-tions and some should be ignored.They presumably reserve to themselvesthe authority to decide to which cat-egory a particular Scriptural injunctionbelongs.

Some who seek to allow peoplewhose marriages have failed to onceagain share fully the life of the Catholiccommunity point to the practice of theOrthodox Church, where a period ofpenitence may be followed by a sec-ond or even third marriage.

However, this ignores the fact thatsometimes marriages fail without any-one being at fault. Rather than repen-tance, what might be needed is a pe-riod or even a ceremony of mourningfor the hopes that have evaporated, forthe shared life that has for whateverreason come to an end.

Men and women grow and changethroughout their lives, and the couplethat spoke vows in the past can — anddo — become different people fromthose who were joined together inmatrimony.

Any real relationship is constantlyreaffirmed. A marriage is no different.Each day and in myriad ways, spousesrenew their vows. But, sometimes thatrenewal becomes impossible, or evenill-advised, as when domestic violencein one form or other becomes part oftheir shared existence.

In spite of their best efforts, theirunion might no longer be a sacramentof love, but instead an ongoing experi-ence of frustration, anger, pain andhopelessness. Sometimes, their lifetogether has become an arena of spiri-tual, psychological, social and even

physical torture. Can God have joinedthem and kept them joined for this?

Without so intending, the Churchcan present marriage as shackles thatchain people together whether it be totheir benefit or not, to others’ benefit(for example, their children) or not.

This weakens the proclamation ofmarriage as a sacrament of Christ'srelationship with the Church, casting ashadow over those marriages that con-tinue to mature and grow. Such mar-riages can be better signs when thereis no doubt about the freedom in whichthe sign, the relationship, is lived.

The current practice in declaringan annulment is to engage in maritalarcheology, looking back to the timewhen a marriage began in order toexcavate evidence that one or both ofthe parties was unable or unwilling tocontract a marriage once upon a time.It depends upon the not-always-givenand not-always-possible cooperationof various people — the couple them-selves, family, old friends, etc.

Pope calls for abolishmentof capital punishment,

life imprisonment

Pope Francis called for abolitionof the death penalty as well aslife imprisonment, and de-

nounced what he called a "penal popu-lism" that promises to solve society'sproblems by punishing crime insteadof pursuing social justice.

"It is impossible to imagine thatstates today cannot make use of an-other means than capital punishmentto defend peoples' lives from an unjustaggressor," the pope said Oct. 23 in ameeting with representatives of theInternational Association of Penal Law.

"All Christians and people of goodwill are thus called today to strugglenot only for abolition of the death pen-alty, whether it be legal or illegal and inall its forms, but also to improve prisonconditions, out of respect for the hu-man dignity of persons deprived of

their liberty. And this, I connect with lifeimprisonment," he said. "Life imprison-ment is a hidden death penalty."

The pope noted that the Vaticanrecently eliminated life inprisonmentfrom its own penal code.

According to the Catechism ofthe Catholic Church, cited by PopeFrancis in his talk, "the traditional teach-ing of the church does not excluderecourse to the death penalty, if this isthe only possible way of effectivelydefending human lives against the un-just aggressor," but modern advancesin protecting society from dangerouscriminals mean that "cases in whichthe execution of the offender is anabsolute necessity are very rare, if notpractically nonexistent."

The pope said that, although a

Instead of simply searching thepast, why not look at the present to seeif the people that they have become areable to live the marriage covenant?Must they be held hostage to their past,to people (their younger selves) whono longer exist?

In other words, as it is now pos-sible to declare a marriage annulledbecause it never really took place, itshould be possible to make a declara-tion of nullity based upon the fact that arelationship that may have been a mar-riage at one point in the past has ceasedto be so.

Just as the physical death of aspouse may be followed by remarriagewithout affecting one's ability to sharein the sacramental life of the Church,such should be the case when thespousal relationship, the marriage, hasdied.

number of countries have formally abol-ished capital punishment, "the deathpenalty, illegally and to a varying ex-tent, is applied all over the planet,"because "extrajudicial executions" areoften disguised as "clashes with of-fenders or presented as the undesiredconsequences of the reasonable, nec-essary and proportionate use of forceto apply the law."

The pope denounced the deten-tion of prisoners without trial, who hesaid account for more than 50 percentof all incarcerated people in some coun-tries. He said maximum security pris-ons can be a form of torture, since their"principal characteristic is none otherthan external isolation," which can leadto "psychic and physical sufferingssuch as paranoia, anxiety, depressionand weight loss and significantly in-crease the chance of suicide."

He also rebuked unspecified gov-ernments involved in kidnappingpeople for "illegal transportation to de-tention centers in which torture is prac-ticed."

The pope said criminal penaltiesshould not apply to children, andshould be waived or limited for theelderly, who "on the basis of their veryerrors can offer lessons to the rest ofsociety. We don't learn only from thevirtues of saints but also from the fail-ings and errors of sinners."

Pope Francis said contemporarysocieties overuse criminal punishment,partially out of a primitive tendency tooffer up "sacrificial victims, accused ofthe disgraces that strike the commu-nity."

The pope said some politiciansand members of the media promote"violence and revenge, public and pri-vate, not only against those respon-sible for crimes, but also against thoseunder suspicion, justified or not."

He denounced a growing ten-dency to think that the "most variedsocial problems can be resolvedthrough public punishment ... that bymeans of that punishment we can ob-tain benefits that would require theimplementation of another type of so-cial policy, economic policy and policyof social inclusion."

Using techniques similar to thoseof racist regimes of the past, the popesaid, unspecified forces today create"stereotypical figures that sum up thecharacteristics that society perceivesas threatening."

Pope Francis concluded his talkby denouncing human trafficking andcorruption, both crimes he said "couldnever be committed without the com-plicity, active or passive, of public au-thorities."

The pope spoke scathingly aboutthe mentality of the typical corrupt per-son, whom he described as conceited,unable to accept criticism, and promptto insult and even persecute thosewho disagree with him.

"The corrupt one does not per-ceive his own corruption. It is a little likewhat happens with bad breath: some-one who has it hardly ever realizes it;other people notice and have to tellhim," the pope said. "Corruption is anevil greater than sin. More than forgive-ness, this evil needs to be cured."

Don't Waste,Feed The Poor

A lot of money in India is spent inthe bursting of crackers on all the fivedays of the Deepavali festival. Whydon’t the people spend the same moneyto feed the poor and the underprivi-leged people of our country? In India,there are millions of people who arepoor and keep starving. They don’teven get decent clothes to wear and amorsel of food to eat. Instead of wast-ing money in the bursting of crackersand other unnecessarily things, themoney can be donated to an orphan-age or Home for the Aged. At leastthese people who have no one to betaken care of can get a morsel of foodto eat and decent clothes to wear. Giveit a thought! It will make others happyand God will bless you abundantly.

a logical outcome of the first two. Co-option essentially means losing yourability to think for yourself; you have totoe a given line, you have to ensure thebanner headlines (even if they are lies)are done to suit the wishes and thefancies of the bosses; you have tocarefully avoid instances / events ornews which might put those who con-trol you, in poor light. We have hun-dreds of examples in and around us toexemplify how media gets so easily co-opted today. We are all familiar with theterm “paid media!”

· The Compromising Of The MediaThe word ‘compromise’ is a highlynuanced one; “a compromise is a situ-ation in which people accept some-thing slightly different from what theyreally want, because of circumstancesor because they are considering thewishes of the other people”. So acompromise essentially means that youhave a possibility of making a decisionbut because of fear or / and favour, onewould rather go with what( one thinks/knows), the big boss wants.

In May 2014, after the General Elec-tions, I was invited by the editor of ‘TheNew Leader’ to write the cover storyfor the fortnightly (June 1 – 15, 2014,Vol. 1 – 7, No 11). I did do so, what Ithink is a fairly balanced but analyticalarticle, which was well received (giventhe number of calls / mails I receivedafter that). The editor (a lay man) ofGujarati Catholic monthly ‘The DOOT’(‘the Messenger’ which is managedand owned by the Jesuits of Gujarat)- congratulated me on the article andasked if it could be published in aforthcoming issue of DOOT. My re-sponse was naturally a very positiveone and I immediately had the articletranslated in Gujarati and sent to him;but that article never appeared in theDOOT. More than three months later,at a casual meeting, the editor informsme that the article was not publishedbecause a couple of people on theeditorial board said it might have re-percussions on the magazine (no com-ments needed!!!)

· The communalisation of the mediaIn India, we are seeing this as neverbefore. We need to glance throughalmost any daily newspaper to realizethis. On careful analysis of a newsstory, it is so blatantly obvious that aDilip Shah who kills another is not re-ferred as a ‘Hindu’ murderer; but if it isa Javed Sheikh, he is then very care-fully painted as Muslim or someonebelonging to the minority community!Look at the way “love Jihad” hoggedthe headlines for several weeks! Thereare very subtle and direct attacks onminorities. What is meticulously propa-gated is the well-being of the majoritycommunity. Communalisation throughthe media is able to orchestrate thedivide between the majority and minor-ity communities of the country.

PERSPECTIVEThe above 5 C’s (Corporatisation,

Commercialisation, Co-option, Com-promising, Communalisation) are someof the major challenges that the mediain India faces. How then do we respondto these challenges – as abackgrounder for this response, I inviteall those present here to revisit ‘InterMirifica’ (the Decree on the means ofSocial Communications) which was akey document of the Second VaticanCouncil and whose Golden Jubilee wecelebrated less than a year ago onDecember 4th, 2013. Do we then havea perspective?

In September 2013, Pope Franciswhile addressing the Pontifical Councilfor Social Communications in Romesaid “the Decree (Inter Mirifica) ex-presses the Church’s solicitude forcommunication in all its forms whichare important tools in the work of evan-gelization”. He went on further to say,“the world of Communications, moreand more has become an ‘environ-ment’ for many, one in which peoplecommunicate with one another expand-ing their possibilities for knowledgeand relationship. I wish to underlinethese positive aspects notwithstand-ing the limits and the harmful factorsthat also exist and which we are allaware of.”

It is significant, therefore that ten

years ago in January 2004, the Catho-lic Bishops Conference of India (CBCI)at their meeting in Trichur gave to theChurch in India plenty of food for thoughtand action in their statement “Called tobe a Communicating Church”.

As ICPA and others involved inthe media, we are challenged to reflectand act urgently on many critical di-mensions of this all-pervasive ministry.These include:

Have we, as Church, taken SocialCommunications (sp. the print-me-dia) seriously?

Have we understood its power andpotential in our works of evangeli-zation?

Do we have a Social Communica-tions Commission in our diocese?(the Commission should necessar-ily constitute persons from all walksof life and these should include layprofessionals in communications)

Do we engage as Church vocally (writ-ing) and visibly in confronting injus-tices that plague our society likediscrimination, displacement, cor-ruption, communalism, casteism?

Have we prophetically denounced thegrave ills in our society in order toboldly proclaim the ‘good news’?

Do we engage in social media onimportant issues concerning Con-stitutional rights and freedoms ofall?

These and several other concernscan be raised - all of them have beenreflected in ‘Inter Mirifica’ and in themany pastoral messages written onCommunications (for CommunicationsSunday) by the Holy Father every year.

It is therefore not without reasonthat Pope Francis has chosen as themefor his first message on World Commu-nications Day 2014 “Communicationat the service of an authentic culture ofencounter”. The Pontifical Council forSocial Communications says that “thiswill explore the potential of communi-cation especially in a networked andconnected world, to bring people closerto each other and to cooperate in thetask of building a more just world.”

This theme in fact truly reflects allthat ‘Inter Mirifica’ is about: “the properexercise of this right (to information)

There is a vast gap of perceptionbetween miracles and Eucharistic miracles. Both are more pow-

erful than reason and easy to evoke asthey remind people of their mortality.

The more profoundly frighteningmiracle is when a person doubts thepresence of Christ in the Blessed Sac-rament – and the Host bleeds.

It has been proved that every dropof blood is human and has the bloodtype(AB), and the blood contains pro-teins in the same proportions as arefound in fresh normal blood. St.Alphonsus Laguori made great effortsin his lifetime to promote private visitsto the Blessed Sacrament in the eigh-teenth century.

It was during the Renaissancewhen the tabernacle was erected onthe main altar. This helped to encour-age the development and promotion ofEucharistic adoration.

Down the chapters of Christianhistory, Jesus Christ has proved Hispresence in the Blessed Sacrament. Ithas been noted that Eucharisticmiracles have taken place during timeswhen the Faith is weak. Often when aperson doubts the Real Presence, amiracle results.

At this point it is interesting to readthe Gospel ofSt. John, where he tells usof Thomas, the Apostle, who had toplace his finger in the side of the RisenLord and touch the Master for assur-ance. When he eventually did he ex-claimed: “My Lord and My God”. Jesussaid to Thomas, “Have you believedbecause you have seen me? Blessedare those who have not seen and yetbelieve.” (Jn.20:27-29).

Eucharistic miracles always raisestandards of the living faith in believerssignificantly and supercharge their spiri-tual life – as seen when thousands ofpilgrims visit places where miracleshave materialized.

Over the past few decades a cer-tain loss of interest in Eucharistic ado-ration has been observed.

In ’doctrinal order’ two pointsshould be considered. First, there is atendency to contemplate less on theconsecrated Host outside the time of

the sacrifice of the Mass. Secondly, theencouragement of this worship camelate. In some places the Eucharist wasadored only at Mass and Communion.Around the Middle Ages the new rite ofthe Mass made the Real Presence felt.

In Bolsena Orvieta, Italy,a priesthad problems believing in the RealPresence. His doubts lay deeply en-trenched in his mind. Prayers could notrelease the agony of his distrust andthe constant inner fear he carried.

Then, one day while celebratingthe holy sacrifice of the Mass, bloodbegan seeping out of the Host on con-secration. Pope Urban IV heard of themiracle and commissioned the feast ofCorpus Christi to be an annual event inBolsena. Roman Catholics, Christiansand believers, all know in true faith thatthe consecrated Host is the Body andBlood of Our Lord, in the form of breadand wine.

When incidences of Eucharisticmiracles arise, we discover that theHost turns into ‘human flesh and blood’.Through these miracles Jesus mani-fests His Presence in a tangible way.

The real world has seen manyEucharistic miracles, and only a feware accepted as authentic by HolyMother the Church. One of the mostpowerful Eucharistic miracles tookplace in Italy at Lanciano.

A Basilian monk, in the year 700had continuous doubts about the RealPresence of Christ in the Eucharist.One day, as he was offering the HolySacrifice, following the words of con-secration, the bread literally changedinto Flesh and the wine into Blood,which later coagulated into five irregu-lar globules; these were later placed ina precious ivory container. In 1713 theywere enshrined in an artistic silvermonstrance in which they are preserved

even to the present day at the church ofSt. Francis in Lanciano.

In November of 1970 a team ofmedical experts convened to begin aninvestigation. On March 4, 1971 thecomplete report was ready. The analy-ses verified the following : The Flesh isreal human flesh. The Blood is realhuman blood. The Flesh and the Bloodhave the same blood type (AB).

There is a close and required con-nection between the Eucharist and themystery of the Church. It is relevant forthe faithful to know of the Eucharisticmystery we face in life. “ It is importantthat the mystery of the Eucharist shouldshine out before the eyes of the faithfulin its true light.” (Vatican Council II. Pg107, Sacred Liturgy).

Pope Paul VI in his EncyclicalMysterium Fidei, had mentioned theEucharistic doctrine on the Real Pres-ence of Christ and the ‘worship’ due tothe sacrament outside the Mass.(VCII).

The Son of God in the humannature, which he united to himself, re-deemed man and transformed him intoa new creation by overcoming deaththrough his own death and resurrec-tion. (Gal.6:15).

Each time the Mass is celebratedthe Eucharistic miracle takes place.When Christians understand this it willbe reflected in their actions. It wasrevealed that most Catholics found itdifficult to understand the Real Pres-ence of Christ in the consecrated Host.Because of this, the Athenaeum ReginaApostolorum held a Conference onmiracles connected to the Eucharist forthe “faithful to comprehend the incom-prehensible” (Zenit).

Eucharistic miracles help to re-tain the faith and belief in the people ofGod. Many non-believers have beenwitness to Eucharistic miracles and ithas played a dramatic role in their lives.

Eucharistic Miracles Justify Faith And Belief

BY MELVYN BROWN

93 November 2014

Kochi: The dispute over the final rest-ing place of Belssed Chavara, after 143years of his death, has finally landed inthe court as the Church prepares forthe canonization of the saintly priest.

A petition has been filed beforethe Munsiff Court, Ernakulam, seekingan order to restrain a Kottayam-basedpublishing house from publishing abook on Fr Chavara written by M KSanu.

The petitioner, Basil Attippetty,allege that the book contains distortedfacts and perverted history about thelife of Fr Chavara, the Indian Expressreported.

The petitioner also sought a di-rective to Apostolic Nuncio to IndiaArchbishop Salvatore Pennacchio thatthe canonization of Fr Chavara be con-fined to his burial place atKoonammavu, in Ernakulam District,and to the St Phelomina’s Church andthe shrine at Koonammavu.

The petition alleged that the nar-ration in the book that the mortal re-mains of Fr Chavara were transferredfrom the St Phelomina’s Church to theMannanam Monastery in Kottayam Dis-trict, was not true.

The vice-postulator of the StJoseph’s Syro Malabar Monastery(CMI) has distorted the fact only tomake unlawful monetary gains, by mis-leading the faithful,” the petitioner al-leged.

The petitioner argued that as perArticle-25 of the Constitution, a burieddead body should not be removed,altered or shifted from the buried place.“Shifting a dead body from the burialplace without the sanction of the au-thority concerned is an offence punish-able under Section-297 of the IPC,” thepetition stated.

“If anyone has claimed to haveshifted the mortal remains of Fr Chavarafrom Koonammavu to Mannanam it is acontinuing offence and barbaric act.“The theft of the mortal remains of aperson is an offence and the claim ofcontinuity of that offence is also anoffence,” the petitioner submitted.

The petitioner further alleged thatthe narration in the book about thetransfer of the mortal remains wasaimed only at demeaning and deni-grating the reputation of Fr Chavara.

“Spreading false news throughthe book is a willful act done with ulte-rior motive and malafide intention tosupport and help the persons who havevested interests,” the petitioner said.Another argument raised by the peti-tioner is that Vatican, which is a foreignstate, should have obtained prior sanc-tion from the Government of India tocanonise Fr Chavara, who was an In-dian citizen.

The wooden structure of the VisitationChurch of the Catholic Archdiocese atMawpren in Shillong was reduced toashes by fire. The Visitation Churchwas established ten years ago with anaim to expand the ideals of the St.Joseph’s Parish Church to enable thefaithfuls to have their church services inthe localities. Speaking to reporters,the Parish Priest of Visitation Church,Fr. Leo Lohbor said that the woodenchurch was gutted by fire at 1.00 a.m.today due to electrical short circuit andthe inferno reduced the church to asheswithin half an hour.

“We are very fortunate because thesurrounding houses and cementedbuildings were not affected by the fire,”Fr. Lohbor said.

The fire tenders did their best to dousethe blaze. He also informed that all thechurch articles and items includinggarments, chalices and Bibles weredamaged by the fire.

Local rescue workers tried to extin-guish the blaze after fire tenders weredelayed due to overnight parking in thenarrow roads leading to the Church.

Asked if he suspected arson, the par-ish priest said: “We don’t suspect any-body to be behind the fire tragedy. Wethink it could be because of an electri-cal short circuit.”

Fire and emergency services officials,meanwhile, have started investigationto find out the exact cause of the blaze.

“We are yet to determine the cause ofthe fire but preliminary investigationshint at an electrical short-circuit,” DeputyFire Service Officer SC Nath said.

Thank you CM, for RejectingSomashekara Inquiry Commission Report

Dear Shri Siddaramaiah,

Peace of Christ and Greetings from theArchdiocese of Bangalore. May the fes-tival of light bring peace, joy and pros-perity to you and all the people ofKarnataka.

At the outset, let me on behalf ofthe entire Christian Community inKarnataka thank you and congratulateyou and all your Cabinet colleagues asalso the State Government for rejectingthe Final Report of the Justice B.K.Somashekara Inquiry Commission,which was our demand from the timethe final report was submitted to theState Government. We would like toespecially thank you and express ourwarm fundamentalist appreciation forthe assurance given to mete out justiceto the Christian Community, particu-larly the victims who were inhumanlyand brutally attacked and mercilesslytortured by the religious groups. Yourparty, at the time of the Church attacksin 2008 and 2009, had joined us incondemning the then Government forits partisan, lethargic and non-respon-sive attitude, as also for supporting theperpetrators for their acts of vandalismand lawlessness. We appreciate theassurance given to the Christian Com-munity that its interest would be pro-tected and to safeguard its religiousfundamental rights.

As we may sadly recall, a series ofattacks against the churches and ourplaces of worship were systematicallycarried out in 2008 and 2009 by somereligious fundamentalist groups in con-nivance with and the open support ofthe civil administration and the policeofficials. These shameful and condem-nable incidents drew not only the atten-tion and sympathies of the entire Stateand Country but also the whole worldas the attacks were well planned andexecuted with a view to creating fearand insecurity among the members ofthe Christian community. What reallysurprised and shocked us was that allthese attacks and vandalisms werecarefully planned and methodically ex-ecuted with the support and patronage

of the then State Government and un-fortunately some of the officers in theGovernment Departments and a fewfanatic leaders of a particular religiouscommunity. When the church attackstook place, the entire Christian com-munity condemned them and askedthe then State Government to look intothis matter and mete out justice to theChristian Community. Due to our re-peated pressure, the then State Gov-ernment had constituted the JusticeSomashekara Inquiry Commission.This commission, in its interim reportheld a few fundamentalist religiousgroups responsible for the church at-tacks; but to our utter dismay, surpriseand shock, exonerated all these groupsand gave them a clean chit in its finalreport, by saying that such attackswere triggered allegedly by conver-sion by some Christian outfits. As thisaccusation of the commission was to-tally false and baseless, the entireChristian Community rose in protestand rejected the final report and de-manded its rejection in toto.

As the final report of the JusticeSomashekara Inquiry Commission wasvery unfair, it created displeasure anddissatisfaction to the Christian Com-munity and we expressed our hurt feel-ings and religious sentiments to thethen Government. Being deeply rootedin our trust in God, we prayed for thevictims to get spiritual strength andcourage to bear patiently the humilia-tions and pain and also for the perpe-trators to come to their senses andchange their attitude towards the Chris-tians and other minority communitiesin the State.

We made several representationsto the Government, the then Governor,the Human Right Commissions andother Bodies to get justice and to safe-guard the Christian minority in the State.But we were grossly disappointed atthe apathetic attitude of the then StateGovt.

When the biased, partisan andtotally one-sided Final Report of theJustice Somashekara Inquiry Commis-sion was presented in January 2011 to

the then State Government as men-tioned above, the entire Christian Com-munity rejected and condemned it. Anumber of protest Rallies were held allover Karnataka by the Christians, Mem-bers of the Human Rights Commissionand the people of goodwill to expresstheir solidarity with the suffering vic-tims and the Christians.

A delegation of Catholic Bishopsand the leaders of all Christian denomi-nations had conducted a Prayer Ser-vice on February 19, 2011 at St. Mark’sCathedral, and also held a dharna infront of Mahatma Gandhi’s Statue onM.G. Road. Later, on the same day, thedelegation presented a Memorandumto Mr. R. Ashok, the then Deputy ChiefMinister and also the State Home Min-ister, with a request to reject the finalReport of the Commission and refer thechurch attack cases to the CBI for a fairand impartial inquiry.

The Christians also held a mam-moth State-wide Protest Rally on Feb-ruary 22, 2011 at St. Francis Xavier’sCathedral Grounds and urged the thenruling BJP government to reject it. But,our appeal was not complied with andjustice was denied to us.

Dear Sir, on behalf of the entireChristian Community, I thank you andthe State Government for rejecting theFinal Report of the JusticeSomashekara Commission, and may Ialso request the State Government –

· to implement the recommendationso f the National Human RightsCommission (NHRC);

· to provide compensation to victimsof attacks whose properties weredamaged, jobs and income werelost;

· to ensure security to Christianchurches and institutions;

· to bring culprits to book througheffective action;

· to disallow local religious funda-mental groups to take the law intotheir hands;

· to take effective action against theofficials who have colluded with

Beggars Are Not ChoosersThat’s what precisely the BJP is

conveying to the Shiv Sena who thoughtit could take them on. The electionresults have shown all the political par-ties their rightful places in Indian polity.The Congress and the NCP inMaharashtra were doomed anywayeven before the elections. It is rathersurprising that they could get as manyseats under the given circumstances.For Shiv Sena it was a setback but thereal loser all the way was MNS whichbore the major brunt of the BJP ascen-dancy. Both are licking their wounds.

‘UTha’ which also means ‘get up’– the Shiv Sena call to the people, didnot work. People got up [with highervoting percentage] and voted for theBJP and showed that the regional partyis only a paper tiger. This is a set-backfor Uddhav Thackarey personally whohas systematically sidelined the veter-ans in the party of past vintage. After thedesertion by Raj Thackarey, the usuallycalm and suave UTha donned themantle of an aggressive politician tocounter the cousin. He managed tokeep him at bay and ensured that theMNS is decimated – first in the LokSabha and now in the assembly elec-tions.

With NCP led by the wily SharadPawar extending unsolicited ‘outside’support, all the calculations of the ShivSena went wary and has been forced toclimb down from the high pedestal.Uddhav was being totally ignored bythe BJP to teach him a lesson once andfor all. A desperate Uddhav panickedand almost bent backwards to woo theBJP. Till Diwali, the BJP had not speltout its terms to them. Finally they willthrow some crumbs on ‘take it or leaveit’ basis and the Sena will have to ac-cept it. The BJP is even contemplatinggoing ‘solo’ as a minority governmentwith the help of fringe parties and inde-pendents – the reward for them couldbe in cash or kind.

By not declining the NCP offer,the BJP skillfully used it to convey to theSena that it is irrelevant in the presentcontext and that their support is notcrucial. Taking the NCP offer was notthe option the BJP would have gone for.The BJP then berated AAP for accept-ing support from the Congress whichwas AAP’s main target during the cam-paign. In Maharashtra, the BJP’s main

target was the Congress and the NCP –particularly the latter for gross corrup-tion. The BJP would have stood fullyexposed for its double standards. Theysay, the people of Maharashtra, havegiven them mandate to form the govern-ment by virtue of being the single largestparty. By the way, even in Delhi BJP wasthe single largest party but stayed awayand preferred to sit in the opposition.Whatever may be the final decision ofthe BJP vis-à-vis the NCP, their reputa-tion is sullied. They are prepared to goany length when it comes to power. Theinfighting for the CMship shows the partyin very poor light. Will Mungantiwar bepunished? No!

The future of Raj Thakarey isbleak. He thought with his aggressivestance, he will dwarf his cousin. In thegeneral elections he scored a ‘duck’and now managed to get just onedespite fielding 288 candidates. Whata disaster. He said that he will nolonger contest the general elections.Now will be also give up the idea ofassembly elections in future. He willnever join Uddhav – his ego will notallow him to work under him. Some-one sent a Diwali message saying‘This Diwali burn egos not crackers’.His supporters will abandon him forgreener pastures leaving him to headone man party like SubramaniumSwamy who held on to his Janataparty for years which he recentlymerged with the BJP. The same op-tion is available to Raj.

*****

Development v/s HindutvaIn a major shift, the BJP fought the

twin elections in Maharashtra andHaryana on the development plank andanti-corruption stance. Like the generalelections, the party scored handsomelyin these two states though they wouldhave liked a comfortable majority in both.This has shown that the people are notswayed by communal appeal. They wantdevelopment and good governance toensure a better quality of life.

During the by-elections in somestates including the Uttar Pradesh, radi-cal elements within the party and thelarger Sangh Parivar, were given a freehand to go whole hog to stir communal

tensions through radical statements. TheBJP was ‘testing the waters’ to see howit works. The highly explosive state-ments of some of their leaders were soinflammatory that there were apprehen-sions about the possible fall-out of suchoutbursts. Mercifully, the electorate inall the states which went for by-elec-tions did not appreciate the party’s de-viation from development. The elector-ate had sent a clear message to theparty that it had to stick to its develop-ment plank alone if they want support.

Saner elements within the partyrealized that any such deviation fromthe declared path would prove disas-trous with negative effect. The radicalelements were discreetly told to keeptheir mouths shut. The entire electioncampaign in Maharashtra and Haryanawas centered on development, gover-nance and corruption. The results arethere to see for all. It has sent a messageto the BJP itself that they should, infuture too, desist from going astray. It ishoped that the party will take the mes-sage seriously and abandon communalpolitics once and for all. This will ensurea long innings at the centre as well asstates.

All the political leaders inMaharashtra who have a baggage ofcorruption against their names andwho have prominently figured in in-quiry committees will have sleeplessnights. The new government is likelyto give a go ahead to the investigatingauthorities to proceed against thecorrupt leaders of the previous gov-ernment. The NCP thought by declar-ing support even when the countingwas on, it could insulate itself frominvestigation and prosecution of itstop leaders. Though it was a masterstroke, people saw through the gameand their leaders were at pains toexplain to the people that their inten-sions were really in national inter-ests. People of Maharashtra facingoppressive October heat enjoyed theirjoke all the same.

demands that the content of the com-munication be true and – within thelimits set by justice and charity – com-plete” (#5) and “all the members ofthe Church should make a concertedeffort to ensure that the means ofcommunication are put at the serviceof the multiple forms of the apostolatewithout delay and as energetically aspossible, where and when they areneeded. They should forestall projectslikely to prove harmful, especially inthose regions where moral and reli-gious progress would require theirintervention more urgently.” (#13)

A WAY AHEADIn the light of

the above and atthis National Con-vention of the In-dian CatholicPress Association,I would like there-fore to propose adefinite plan ofaction for all thoseengaged in theprint media in In-dia. The plan ofaction should in-clude:

· That one shouldnever be com-promised on Gospel values veryparticularly on truth, human rightsand justice

· That every effort should be made toenter mainstream print media (bothvernacular and English) as journal-ists, writers, editors, whatever

· Catholic youth should be trained injournalism / media to write letters tothe editors, articles to importantnewspapers on social issues

· That we need to reinvent our Churchnewspapers / magazines / bulle-tins - very few of them are worth thesalt. The tragedy of Church media

is that it highlights activities / eventsof Bishops, Priests and Nuns - theyhardly educate, but in fact domesti-cate

· That we need to encourage as manyas possible to maintain their ownblogs, to have a facebook page, totweet and to use the social media.Social media is about communicat-ing and we will not be able to com-municate on social media if we donot write

· That we need to network and collabo-rate with others in the mainstreammedia

ConclusionThe main idea of this presenta-

tion is just to set the tone for furtherdeliberations and responses. The chal-lenges we know are many. Like os-triches, we can no longer bury ourheads in the sand and think that all iswell. The Indian Catholic Press Asso-ciation will be true to its name only if itdemonstrates unbridled courage tobe visible and to be vocal (through thewritten word) given the context andchallenges that India faces today.

At this juncture, we need to bereminded of the poem by Bertolt Brecht(1898 – 1956), the German Marxistpoet, playwright and theatre directorwho took a stand against Hitler andNazism and who very poignantly wrote:

“In the dark timesWill there also be singing?

Yes, there will also be singing.About the dark times!”

Thank you very much!

Some More On ‘MoneyHas Different Names’!

The Secular Citizen, 13 Oct. 2014 on pg. 18 hasindeed given us an interesting ‘thesaurus’ on the role ofmoney titled, “Money Has Different Names”! You havefurnished us 15 various concepts starting with: In Churchit is called an offering; and going on to label it as: fee,bride price, alimony, debt, tax, fine, pension, salary,wages, allowance, loan, tip, ransom, and bribe.

Here, I will designate 15 more appellations for ourfamous transaction called “Money’!

-to put in a bank ……………… a currency-to a hotel for payment ……….. a receipt-a thief when he steals ………... a loot-in a paper form ……………….. a cheque-goes in society’s sink ………… a fund-as an official transaction ……... a payment-accumulated over time ……….. a wealth-given to a fiancé……………… a finance-makes a beggar happy………... a dough-to cheer a friend ………………. a cash-what stops here ……………….. a buck-for equity appreciation ……….. a capital-as a form of business………….. a tender-poor man’s possessions……….. a coin

Now the ‘big one’ you have asked? “When a husbandgives money to his wife… what does one term it?

-I term it as …………………….a treasure! Because, onewill never be sure how she will spend it; forget returningit! Jesus correctly cautioned: “For where your ‘treasure’is, there your heart will be also” (Luke, 12:34)

For Those Suffering FromArthritis

One of the most common ailments that elderssuffer from is arthritis. Swelling in joints and acutepain are some of its characteristics, making itdifficult for the person to even perform normalactivities. Here are some points to keep in mind sothat people with arthritis don't strain their jointsmuch:-

Never put pressure on any one particular joint. Forinstance, if you are pushing the cupboard to an-other place or opening a door, make sure you useboth your hands or knees to do the same.

Spreading the strain equally on all joints will easeout the pain.

Don't sit in the same position for longer hours. Takea small break in between, go for a short walk in theopen or pace the length of the room. Once you forma pattern, stick to it.

Leading a sedentary lifestyle is not advisable forpeople with arthritis. Activities are not harmful, youjust need to do them wisely. Push, slide or shovethings instead of lifting them. Use your palms tohold things, use your side to push heavy itemsinstead of your thigh or knees.

Restrict bending. Organise your house in such away that you can reach the items you need by justextending your hand. Bending down unnecessar-ily will cause excess strain to the joints. In case youhave to bend down, keep your back straight toeven the pressure.

Some people, they just dream of success, power,luxury and respect and then there are others whowork hard to make all their dreams come true. To

become successful in your personal and professionallife you need some personal skills. Go through this listof personal skills and improve your way of living:

Adaptability :The ability to adapt yourself to the ever changing environ-ment can help you reach the pinnacle. Adaptability has nowbecome even more important than ever because things arenow changing at much higher pace and the ones who arenot flexible enough becomes obsolete. Change is the onlything that remains constant and there is no need to spendan inordinate amount of time thinking about what you don’thave, it’s time you take a step towards change.

Innovative Thinking :Innovation is simply the generation of new ideas that arecreative and was not earlier thought of. With growing com-petition people have started looking for difference and allthe successful entrepreneurs may not have university de-grees but what they have is better than the rest. They havethe power to create and to think beyond imagination, theyhave the will to follow their heart and guts to risk everythingfor what they believe in.

Convincing Power :In life whether you are on top or on bottom you need to beconvincing about your ideas, your perspective and more-over your viewpoint. Encouraging others to adopt yourviews when they totally have a different stand on the samething is quite a task to accomplish. For making them believein you, first you have be sure about your perspective andthen have to look at the situation from the other end of theline in order to consider their viewpoint.

Personal Branding :To build a personal brand from scratch is a difficult andcrucial process, but once you have branded your personal-ity the world will always remember you as an individual. Yourbrand is what people say about you when you are notaround and therefore you have to develop a personality thatspeaks for you even when words doesn’t spell out of yourmouth. Nowadays, it’s all about having skills that can makeyour presence felt. Social networks are playing a veryimportant role in the recruitment process and therefore, you

have to be care-ful about the in-formation youdisplay publiclyon your profileson social net-working sites.

Problem-Solving Ability :Problem solving is an essential skill. Problems can be big orsmall, difficult or easy but regardless of the type of problemit is important to focus on the solution. Have an open mindand consider all possible solution without getting scared sothat you can employ unique ideas to reach at a freshsolution.

Decision-Making Skills :We all make some bad decisions in life which we regret laterbut that is a part of life, after all, a man is defined by thechoices he make. Many times we have to decide on the mostbeneficial course of action from a list of alternatives formaking a right decision. To avoid decision – making is veryeasy but to make your own decision and then to accept itsconsequences is a sign of a good leader.
