#TeamIndia | #ThankYouAjinkya
One of the most underrated cricketers, and the man who led India to its greatest ever overseas Test series win @ajinkyarahane88.
Calm, Solid. Kabhi shor nahi kiya, aur apna best karta raha.
Just like against SA in Delhi ,2015 after a wonderful first innings, may you have a great second innings, Ajinkya.
We've shared the dressing room for so many years and I know how much hard work has gone into everything you've achieved. Your commitment and professionalism have always set you apart.
Congratulations on a wonderful career. Best wishes! @ajinkyarahane88
A few communication lessons for the Government, BJP and everyone in public life:
1. India’s biggest communication problem is TV news and MSM.
At least, that’s how a large section of people now sees it. They believe it has destroyed trust and poisoned public conversation.
You may not realise it now, but India’s biggest enemy is Indian TV news. It has now become your enemy too.
The more you use it, the more damage it is likely to cause.
After graduating from the @IIMC_India , my first job was at @IndiaToday because, like every journalism student then, I wanted to become like the great journalists I saw there.
Today, if a child wants to become a journalist, can any parent or teacher name three TV journalists as role models? Why not?
An aspiring cricketer has Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli or Yashasvi Jaiswal. Who does an aspiring TV journalist have?
In fact, many young people are told, “become anything, but don’t become a TV journalist”.
2. If you don’t want another protest that you neither understand nor know how to handle, rethink TV news.
Right now, it’s working against you, not for you.
Why should hardworking salaried reporters get all the hate for decisions taken by editors and owners?
Next time there’s a protest, ask the owners to stand in front. That alone could transform the TV news business model.
Seriously, why are the owners in hiding? Shouldn’t they also be accountable for damaging India’s socio-political fabric?
3. Don’t make the mistake of believing this happened because of Instagram.
And don’t make the bigger mistake of thinking Instagram can be fixed to defeat the Gen Z narrative.
It will backfire.
No matter what you do, you can’t manufacture authenticity.
4. Everyone even remotely in power should switch to silent mode for a while.
Ask the shouting spokespersons and television regulars to disappear for a while.
On the environment, send environmental experts. On the economy, send economists. On education, send educationists. On healthcare, send doctors and public health experts.
Stop relying on political performers who turn every debate, whether it’s about pollution, jobs, education or healthcare, into communal or factional politics.
Replace them with genuine subject experts.
5. We don’t want India to become Western.
But we must make India modern.
Stop celebrating regressive ideas.
Talk more about science, philosophy, art, poetry, creativity, innovation and the dignity of every citizen.
6. Fix our crumbling cities.
Clean our air.
7. Listen more. Let your work speak.
I hope this moment becomes an opportunity to rethink how we communicate with a new generation.
Looking forward to a developed, happy and innovative India.
#WATCH | Delhi: After talks with the government, Cockroach Janta Party's Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das says, "Our second demand was that all the FIRs filed against the protesters, not just in Delhi but in all BJP-ruled and BJP-allied states, should be withdrawn. This was also our second demand. The government has accepted that demand as well. Furthermore, the withdrawal will be done shortly. The government has assured us that it will share copies of all the FIRs filed – as per our last information, 15 to 20 FIRs were filed in Delhi – and we will receive those copies within three to four days in any case. The government has also assured that the withdrawal will be done shortly...Understanding this, we have shared a draft with the government, which is a written guarantee. The government has said it will share this with us by Tuesday. We hope that by Tuesday we will receive the government's guarantees regarding these FIRs and any future action"
धर्मेंद्र प्रधान यांचा राजीनामा.. विद्यार्थ्यांचा मोठा विजय..
ज्यांना सुप्रीम कोर्टाच्या न्यायाधीशांनी झुरळ म्हणून हिणवलं..
त्याच झुरळांनी मोदी सरकारला झुकवलं...
(who is next?)
