‘2019 is Not a National Election’: Town Hall with Dr Prannoy Roy

[@bbhusari]

Roy ji, I was studying in the college / university between 1973 - 78, our generation holds you in awe and highest regard. Your contribution to journalism and in emancipation of educated masses is immeasurable ! Warm regards and Salute

[@saitech007]

What an highly educated naive illiterates are my past generations :-( glad that the truth is coming now at fore front of nation. Dr. Pranoy Roy , Raj deep Shit desai , Saragarika , Buraka dutt are stooges of Congress and puppets that act under the direction of Western evil media. His smooth English sliced the progressive minds, and poisoned the minds of English language craving crowed. What a pity we don't know how to capture the essence of truth, and we just love following so called specialist. Our education system developed only ROBO's with no analytical thinking. We need education institutions , families that build analytical thinking in the society. Not to carried by sheer numbers and blind followers . I want to see commoner who can easily able to take it down these so called intellectual GURU's (self assigned ). Who are systematically seeded in our country by western media stooges these croocks are deliberately picked up by anti India forces by paying huge sums and soaps to built a narrative that benefits their interest and make India vulnerable in front of rest of world . We never use our brains when scums like Dr. Pronoy Roy and any other soft spoken elitist western educated person debating, are giving lectures in media and we are awe struck !!! and lost in admiration. They give a damn about India , they are highly secured and have all back up plans to protect themselves and their families. I have seen how systematically the western media moguls built a narrative to weaken any country that has the potential to super seed or not dancing to their tunes. We need more institutions that can able quash these dangerous narratives that are deeply seeded by certain sections of Elite media in India. Living in Europe for 21 years and traveling around 60 countries every day I dream that average Indian / commoner can able to travel as much as possible in his or her life time so that they can see the HARD TRUTH and the media manipulation. I want to see one day a commoner in my India can tear down these vicious evil people with his / her intellect and with reasoning. So lets build Thinking nation. ..... just stop being mute spectators and its time to give some exercise to our brain. Be logical , analytical and use reasoning and don't fall pray GLITZ's , BLITZ's of media CIRCUS.

One of the greatest quality of Mr. Roy is that the way he acts as an media between the viewers and his guests on tv show or when he is presenting a data sheet or his own perspective of the situation in the country! He is never obtrusive, aggressive or tries to overpower the viewers with his knowledge, intellect or power ( all said n done few journalist did emerge as power centres and hahahaha instead of sharing power with them politician made them servile and turned them in to Godi Media ). Mr. Vinod Dua's rise in journalism and tv screen is almost co-eval with that of Prannoy Roy. People took him as Hindi equivalent of Dr. Roy ! But Mr. Dua created negativity amongst his viewers because of his sarcasm, aggressive questioning to his guests and so on ! If you have a dissent against contemporary dispensations there is a limit to express through journalism ! Ultimate resolution of some of the conflicts can take place through electoral processes or a constant public education in which journalists, anchors, media as a whole, writers, artist and teachers have dececive role to play. Mr. Roy has been playing such a positive role in last over 40 years of his career, in the process has built up an news industry. Recently his reputation came under cloud because of certain allegations and investigations ! Journalist fraternity stood by him and his legal battery should also take care of his name and fame ! Once it's done, Dr. Roy should be held as role model and NCERT should include lessons on Dr Roy highlighting his achievements.

I have been observing Prannoy since he emerged as the rising star in the constellation called NDTV. Sincerity is one of the salient features of his comments, pronouncements, and reservations. He is a true blue gentleman, suave even in his surgical questions and doubts, and an assiduous professional who has never kowtowed to power. Any rookie journalist worth their salt must emulate him as a role model who valorises truth, objectivity, and non-partisanship over mendacity, expediency, and over-salivating glibness. Long live the woman, or women, behind him.

longer it gets, more confusing he becomes. he says the voter is getting wiser but he himself is not getting any wiser. According to him the voter will not vote for the gdp. that is totally untrue. For an instance, even in the pack media interviews, people talk about the gdp as a barometer of the successful implementation of pro population measures. Indian voters are having access to a better quality information. so GDP does matter. corruption does matter. and most importantly a decision making government really matters. What a lady, with a no or big bindi, in her studio thinks about a single incidence happened in any of the towns does not matter to him/her as a common voter knows that a mullan can be read as a kundan by an interested party like Kejriwal, to incite the people of a certain religion.
