I want to comment on media role
in preaching Hinduism. Not only electronic media but also print media is
contributing a lot as well. On television every channel is in race of showing
more and more foreign stuff especially that of Indian and more precisely Hindu
soaps, serials and movies. I often feel really sorry when I watch those soaps,
movies, even cartoons, they just seems to be made for preaching their religion.
They are so stiff at their religion, that they show their marriages and death
ceremonies fully religiously, which our new generation is picking as it is.
Print media was considered exempted from spreading foreign culture but I saw an
advertisement of efu life’s marriage plan in a famous newspaper,in which
scenario of a marriage ceremony was shown. a child was holding a platter
containing oil lamps and flowers commonly known as “Arhti ki thali” used by
hindus as their religious custom. Print and electronic media is promoting
foreign culture especially dressing since long but this new splash of preaching
religions other than islam is just ridiculous and miserable because its an issue
of spoiling our youth, this world and our “Akhirat”. Our young generation is
applying all that what is being shown and taught to them through media. I myself
heard children saying “Jay maata ki” and “jay shi krishin” instead of
“BISMILLAH” and “ALLAH O AKBAR”. Few ridiculous and shameful experiences are
being faced by many of us due to our this irresponsible attitude towards our
children’s brought up.Once in a marriage ceremony after “Nikah” at the time of
“Rukhsati” a child started screaming that marriage is not done because 7
“Pherry” are not practiced.At another place at time of “jinazah” the grandchild
asked who will lit or burn the granny this is what we are feeding to our
generation that they are not even familiar to Islamic customs of death and
marriage.Why these nations are not called as religious fundamentalist when they
are preaching their fake religion in every possible way and we are neglecting
our religion to show ourselves moderate. This is not modernization this is just
seduction.
This is the foremost responsibility of governmental organization to look over
what is going on air in the name of entertainment on media. parents should keep
check and balance what our children are watching and should teach them basics of
islam.
