These days, systematic attacks against Bihari migrants in Tamilnadu have become a hot topic in Indian media. Many big and small media organizations have reported on the incident. The Bihar government had no problem when big media organizations such as Dainik Jagran, Amar Ujala, Dainik Bhaskar, and others reported the incident. These are some leading print media organizations in India with their presence on the world wide web.
Nowadays, a growing number of Indians read news content on the internet, and the number of subscribers to print newspapers continues to decrease every year. Today, people love to get news content from electronic and digital media. That is why many are making rapid progress in digital media with fair coverage of events and putting facts in front of the public. I also watch multiple YouTube channels to update myself on current affairs in India and abroad. I have lost trust in traditional media organizations that aim to peddle blatant lies, justify the wrongdoings of their political bosses, run propaganda campaigns against a particular community, and mislead people with fake news.
There is an old proverb that says that where there is smoke, there must be fire. It is true that Hindi-speaking people were attacked in Tamil Nadu and threatened to leave the state as soon as possible. I have no reason to believe that many people returning from Tamil Nadu out of fear are telling a lie.
In my previous blog, I mentioned that attacking Bihari working professionals has become a fashion in India. Unfortunately, this trend has continued in this country for a long time. The credit goes to corrupt Bihari politicians who aim to engage in corruption and deposit the black money in Swiss bank accounts.
Corrupt Bihari politicians have been looting Bihar's resources for a long time and doing nothing for the development of the state. As a result, Bihar is one of the most undeveloped states in India, and its people are forced to migrate to other states in search of jobs and employment opportunities.
Manish Kashyap is a famous YouTube journalist who loves to engage in impartial journalism and ask tough questions to the government and responsible authorities without fear. He is an engineer, and his father works for the Indian military. He has exposed corruption in the Bihari ecosystem, and his reporting gives a tough time to many prominent people in politics and society. Videos uploaded by Manish Kashyap attract the attention of many people. He is one of the most popular YouTubers in India who loves to speak for ordinary people.
As I said, the Bihar government was okay when big media organizations covered the Tamilnadu incident. However, when Manish Kashyap arrived in Tamil Nadu and began reporting from ground zero, the situation changed dramatically and abruptly. His videos demonstrated that the incompetence of the Bihar government had forced the Bihar population to migrate to other states for jobs and employment opportunities and suffer at the hands of the rest of the Indians.
He highlighted that migrants from Bihar face many problems while living in other states, and the Bihar government is responsible for their difficulties. His videos became viral, which made Tejasvi Yadav, the deputy CM of Bihar, restless. He thought if legal action is not taken against Manish Kashyap, his fact-based reporting will hurt the political interest of the RJD in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha and 2025 state assembly elections.
Corrupt politicians in power in India are not okay with investigative journalism done by honest journalists. They take all possible measures to surprise the voices of true press reporters and force them not to touch sensitive matters. The criminal proceedings against Republic TV on Arnav Goswami prove this fact. Several FIRs have been launched against Manish Kashyap. The Patna police arrested him and sent him to jail. This will backfire on Tejasvi Yadav in the long term.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that Laloo Prasad Yadav and his corrupt gang are responsible for the poor state of Bihar. His tenure is regarded as jungle raj. I would say that Laloo Prasad Yadav is a shrewd, criminal-minded politician who knows how to fool people in the name of caste and creed and make money through corruption. The Central Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Directorate is grilling Lalu Prasad Yadav and his relatives for 600 crores of land for a job scam. Still, many duffers in Bihar are following this mindless politician.
Manish Kashyap did nothing wrong by reporting on the Tamil Nadu incident. It is his job to criticize the government if he finds anything wrong with the system and make people aware. Impartial and investigative journalism is not a crime. Criminal prosecution against Manish Kashyap will increase his popularity sky-high and damage the political interest of 9th-grader Tejasvi Yadav, who doesn't have the qualifications to lead a big state like Bihar. There is no solid evidence that proves Manish Kashyap has done anything wrong. His case will not last long in the judiciary, and he will be proven innocent eventually. I support Manish Kashyap for his courageous journalism.
