Rahul Gandhi has congratulated Elon Musk on his taking over Twitter, and has asked that the Opposition’s voice in India be not stifled.
What Rahul, wittingly or unwittingly, overlooks is that the big business which is taking over the media all over the world, looks only at its own interests, not the interests of others.
The take over of Twitter by Elon Musk in America is akin to the take over of CBN IBN by Mukesh Ambani, or of NDTV by Gautam Adani in India.
When I was Chairman of the Press Council of India, I came to know that the owner of one of the big Hindi newspapers, having perhaps the largest circulation in India, also owns about 50 other businesses e.g. mining, coal, iron&steel, real estate, etc. The newspaper was only a small business compared to his other businesses.
Why then was he interested in publishing the newspaper ? It was obviously to help his other businesses, e.g. by publishing something favourable to a Minister, who in return would help him in his other businesses.
Historically, the media arose in the 18th century in Europe as an organ of the people against feudal oppression. At that time all the organs of power were in the hands of feudal authorities, kings, aristocrats, etc. Hence the people had to create new organs which would serve their interests. The media ( which was then print media mainly in the form of leaflets, pamphlets, etc, not regular daily newspapers ) was one of the main organs created by the people for waging their struggle against feudalism, and it was used by great writers like Voltaire, Rousseau, Thomas Paine, Junius, etc. The media then represented the voice of the future, as contrasted to the feudal state organs, which only wanted to preserve the status quo.
Later, the role of the media changed. It was taken over by businessmen, and stopped representing the people. However, it still fulfilled a useful purpose by conveying news truthfully to the people. In India, great journalists like Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi, Nikhil Chakrabarty, etc fulfilled this role, like William Lloyd Garrison, Edward Murrow, and Walter Cronkite in America.
Now the wheel has turned totally around. Now the worldwide trend is to totally emasculate the media, deprive it of whatever freedom it had, and make it an organ dedicated solely to serving the commercial interests of the proprietor.
This trend is most visible in Indian television today, which has turned largely into what is called euphemistically as ‘godi media’. Now all pretences of conveying the truth have been dropped, and instead one hears only a single refrain.
Rahul Gandhi’s message is only wishful thinking, and Elon Musk is unlikely to pay any heed to it. He has invested 43 billion dollars in buying Twitter, and will only be interested in having good returns from this huge investment.

Pakistan has become a strange country. Now even quoting from Ghalib, the greatest Urdu poet, has become dangerous there.
I had written an article on Urdu poetry, and sent it to a well known Pakistani online publication for being published.The article mentioned this couplet of Mirza Ghalib, the most famous Urdu poet :
“ Imaan mujhe roke hai, jo khenche hai mujhe kufr Kaaba mere peeche hai, kaleesa mere aage “
Lo and behold ! I received this email from the publisher :
“ Dear Justice Katju
We are avoiding all pieces featuring religion and you mention the Kaaba. I’m afraid this will have repercussions for us here in Pakistan. As mentioned, emotions are high, and religious mention can cause damage. We will not be able to use it unfortunately.Regards xxxx “.
It seems there are many verses of Ghalib which will invite a death fatwa if recited today, like that issued to Salman Rushdie by Ayatollah Khomeni.
Thus Ghalib writes :
“ Masjid ke zer-e-saaya kharaabaat chaahiye “i.e.“ Below a mosque there should be a wine shop
“Similarly, he writes :
“ Kahaan maikhane ka darwaaza Ghalib aur
This is a subtle dig on religious clerics. Poetry of several famous Urdu poets may also invite a death fatwa in Pakistan today
Among the modern Urdu poets, Sahir Ludhianvi is outspokenly atheistic.
Consider the following lines :“Aqaayad vaham hai mazhab khyaal khaam hai saaqiAzal se zahen-e-insaan bastaa vaham hai saaqi
which means :
So it is best for Pakistanis to keep away from Urdu poetry, to avoid being declared a ‘kafir’ and having a death fatwa placed on their heads by some mad mullah, whose tribe has increased exponentially of late in Pakistan. After all, one would not relish the prospect of having ‘sar tan se juda’

Urdu poetry is thoroughly secular
By Justice Markandey Katju
Many people think Urdu poetry is communal. On the contrary it is thoroughly secular.
Thus, Ghalib, the greatest Urdu poet, writes :
“ Imaan mujhe roke hai, jo kheeche hai mujhe kufr
Kaaba mere peeche hai, kaleesa mere aage “
i.e.
“ Faith is holding me back, atheism is pulling me forward
Kaaba is behind me, the church is in front “.
As explained in some earlier articles of mine ( which can be seen online) , Urdu poetry is not to be understood literally. The Urdu poets often write not directly but indirectly, conveying their meaning allegorically by allusions, hints, suggestions and indications.
Kaaba is the place in Mecca, which is the holiest place for Muslims. But in this sher ( couplet ) Kaaba must not be understood literally. By Kaaba Ghalib means feudalism or backwardness.
The word kaleesa literally means church ( of Christians ). But here it means modernism.
So when Ghalib says he has turned his back towards Kaaba (
i.e. he rejected it ), he means he has rejected feudalism and backwardness.
The word kaleesa in the sher means modernism, and therefore Ghalib means that he is a supporter of modern civilisation.
Many similar examples can be given from the poetry of many Urdu poets.
