IS OUR PRESS FREE ?

By Rohit Mehta

Him Vikas tries to cover news & views, reach out to a worldwide audience and tell the human story with integrity, balance, and thoughtfulness.
But with a difference. We will present thought evoking FACTS and not doctored TRUTH.

We have made a choice. Educate the Educated and make the right choice. Infact each of us must choose a life of freedom under the Law and the Constitution of our country.

We aim to get the readers thinking. Have we been so lulled into a false state of oblivion that we fail to notice the gross atrocities being carried out around us everyday? Who is answerable? Or have we become so mentally and physically corrupt to shirk our very responsibilities as educated citizens.

Well, let us explain the logic and philosophy behind our belief. We strongly believe that the problem is mainly the Government controlled media; that the media is corrupt to a very large extent, being controlled, and it is not only NOT doing its job, but actually invigorating the destructive and disintegrative forces in our national life. This has been an ongoing debate for a long long time. Have we so far done anything about it? NO.

Most writers today write for emotion and self proclaimation. Funny isn't it, that in this "information age" we aren't getting the honest information we need? Needless to say, we are being forced to believe that lies are lies as seen by the writer. This is something that has become glaringly obvious after the War on Afghanistan, War on Iraq and the 9/11 Attack. People have only now started to question the motive of the concerned people ...if only they would have woken up earlier...they could have probably saved a million innocent lives. If writers who work for the press were free to report the truth, they wouldn't need to lie to make their stories interesting. Merely because a story is bizarre does not mean that it is untrue. Readers of Him Vikas can expect worldwide controversies, news stories but true stories. From Area 51... did man actually land on the moon... to AIDS. Demystifying the NEWS MEDIA and the ADVERTISING WORLD is our main aim and our panel of writers are surely working towards it.

If something makes money, it is good. If not, it is bad. Life is very simple that way-and financially rewarding, far more than an honest job, that produces something for the very society we are a part of. The RICH, having crafted a society that replaces God with money, they think of themselves as the rightful masters of the universe, no matter how debased that universe will become under their sterile control or how limited and distorted their knowledge (if any) of history may be. But they have missed out the crux of the matter....Human Values.

In this awe inspiring, thought invoking fight, if we work together strategically, Him Vikas will seek allies, activists editors, authors and readers from every sector to build a counterforce to confront the ideas, we are being forced to follow. If you are an honest reporter, sick and tired of the "guidelines" your editor gives you and would like to share some honest news and views for a change, please contact us. Your identity will be kept confidential, if you so desire.


Thanks to the press and advertising, the life-denying values-often called "democratic values"-are in vogue. Cultural communism in the garb of political correctness, today dominates all forms of media. In todays world, morals and speech are sewage, history as fact is viciously attacked by the media, entertainment is ethical syphilis. One must be blind not to see the direction. Where can it end? Wake up and smell the roses....viewing the world with rosed tinted glasses won't get us anywhere.

We all are aware yet blind and oblivious to the happenings around us. Don't you think it makes sense to make the concerned people ANSWERABLE. Its amazing why for so long and for how long more, will people sit and be genius in standing still! Jumping from a cliff brings a light-hearted feeling and the descent is most enjoyable until the inevitable sudden stop. Reality is not fitted with a bungee rope.

We are not trying to proclaim ourselves as the all righteous pinnacle of free press in the country. Ours is just a fledgeling flight into this information abyss of lofty SELLABLE doctored NEWS and REALITY. Join us and our struggle for the truth and accountabilty. Help us re-awaken the ideals of HOPE, VALUES, and MORALS..., mere words that once had meaning...... It may already be too late for us, but not for the generation preceeding us...Lets face our responsibility. We owe it to ourselves and others. We can not change the way the world thinks, but we can certainly help our readers make sense of it all and react. Alone you simply can't...combined we can.
