RE:Media

So what's your point? There are so amny things happening at once and that is bound to be in a huge society that lives in every age of history from microlithic to space age at the same time in 21st century. If you mean that the media has been distinctly biased against Maharashtra, then the question is, when has it been pro-Maharashtrian? Don't you rememer how they ridiculed the idea of reverting to the original name of Bombay, Mumbai and fell silent when calcutta was named Kolkata adn Madras, Chennai. When Poona became Pune, TOI carried editorial Pune in June, ridiculing the idea. The same Mumbai based paper was reporting of Tamil Literaray meet in Singapore and ignoring Marathi Sahitya sammelan in Mumbai. We are not popular with the media. They have this inexplicable bias against everything Marathi except Sachin tendulkar.
