Sensitive issues like sharing cauvery water have all the potential to turn violent. The recent issue of protest against Saddam in Bangalore actually turned violent and one innocent young boy paid it with his life. Cruel thing to happen for a innocent bystander.

How can these tension be diffused ? I think the root cause for these kind of conflicts between communities, religion, languages arise due to common man’s ignorance and it is utilized to the maximum by some people/politicians.

1. Try to learn about each other’s culture, religion, language etc.
2. Try not to get swallowed by mob mentality.
3. Treat just in time politicians with caution.
4. Respect others.
5. Try to solve problems in more civilized way.
6. Do not spread rumors.
7. Do not glorify crime as heroics.
8. Anticipate the problem and try creative means to diffuse it.
9. Exercise common sense

These may not be fool proof solution, but at least it can reduce the probability of these incidents from happening.

Bangalore is fast becoming an insecure place to live. It is a surprise that television channels like Times Now running a call in program, SMS program on sensitive issues like this one immediately after the tabling of the report. Why the hell do they have to ask questions which triggers hatredness to other community? Why do they need to sensationalise the news? Times Now just sucks.

Few questions ?

Do we need the television media to ask the opinion from people about Cauvery tribunal’s final verdict just after it being tabled?

Can common man comment on the document which contains 1000 pages with out even taking the look at it. Analysis comes only day after in the news paper.

Why do media need to have the SMS poll on sensitive issues like this. Surely the response is coming from biased sample.

Does Karnataka is entitle to get the major share of the natural resource like river because the origin is its territory ?

Why is Bangalore becoming such a intolerable place to live ?

Why do people spread rumors ?

Why target tamilians for cauvery verdict ?

What is the benefit of taking all tamil channels off the air ?

Why don’t people treat rivers as national resource ?

Why do news paper carry such a misleading headlines and trigger the fury of the people ?

Finally why do people give expert opinions when they lack the indepth knowledge?

Prabhu writes in his blog about the fm radio in Bangalore..

Many new FM Radio stations have come on air in Bangalore in recent past. I believe this is the case in many other metros in India. Radio listeners will have many choices now. But I have found them wanting. The talk of the radio jockeys leaves lot to be desired. To listen to a good song I will have to bear senseless chattering of the hosts, ads lacking in creativity and many songs of not my liking. The most irritating is the lack of sense in the talks of the hosts. This is more so if two or more are conducting the show. And I can’t understand why a radio jockey should repeat a catch line of the radio station a hundred times every minute. It’s painful to ears to listen to same wordings again and again. Add to this the listeners interacting with the hosts and sending SMS. The hosts will have to keep repeating the numbers to dial in and message. All this makes me to avoid the FM radios particularly when I am traveling and switch on my iPod which is loaded with songs and podcasts of my preferences. I do agree there are shows which are worth listening but those are few and far between. I can enjoy songs with my iPod sans all things that are boring with the FM radio stations. I hope the quality of shows improves, given the powerful media that it is, with people at all levels of society listening to it, imagine how effective the FM radios would be in bringing about a useful change.
