R.K. Laxman died this week. Incidentally, the common man has also lost representation in the media in the last 5-10 years. If you are not a celebrity or in the urban middle class, good luck getting your issues covered in the media. How many farmer stories have we seen on TV in the last one year? How many stories are based in rural settings? Have our newspapers become glossy urban magazine covers? Speaking about issues of the poor, the marginalized is now considered activism and progress impeding socialism.
To sum it up:
Farmer commits suicide.
Adani gets loan.
R.K. Laxman dies.
Do watch P. Sainath talk about these issues in brief. I recommend watching his longer talks if you have the time.
