● Media
I'm writing my personal experience about media production houses lately.
One of the biggest star from Bollywood Sridevi recently met with an unfortunate death in Dubai couple of days back.all the media houses started covering this news for the 3 days continuously,it feels like our country doesnt had any debatable issue beyond this.she was a great actress she deserves some highlight but you can't 24*7 discuss about her only,sometimes it gives the feeling that our media houses became the detectives and helping out the Dubai police in solving her death mystery.
● Political parties
If anyone from India he/she can relate to this,all the political parties whether the ruling or opposition come up with some set propaganda in their minds,they divide the public on religion,cast,color for get to power.they don't talk about education,health or something that benifit the people of country,they only do politics over important issues and keep people segregated over different line so that when bad times comes to them they hit the nerve of related issue and can comeback in power with it.
Bollywood is a big deal. I know. I love it. I don't watch much of it but I like the music.
But yes the media reports alot of terrible news. Also I only know a little of the caste system in your country. But it is interesting.
