2012- An End of Things in India

Year 2012 has been labelled as Year of Mass Destruction world wide & claimed that World will come to an END. Well I'm focusing on few things that have almost come to an End in India this year.
With the start of year 2012, India lost few very lovable Celebrities like Jagjit Singh, Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor & lately Dara Singh & Superstar Rajesh Khanna..... There lives came to an End.

Following the year We heard about fixing in IPL, where 5 Young Cricketers were caught in a sting operation on camera claiming few fixing do takes place in IPL. This came as an End to Morality of Sports.

Later this year India witnessed Riots in Bareily, Mathura & majorly in Kohkrajhar(Assam). But here End of Humanity was observed. Also thing India witnessed was "End of Ethics in Journalists & Main Stream Media(MSM)." None of MSM reported about these Riots at initial stages. The Assam Riots were only reported after the Social Media i.e., Twitter group of Patriotic/Nationalist Tweeples trended aggressively #AssamRiots.

What was more shamefull was that one of leading Journalist when questioned about why he isnt covering Assam Riots, as he did for Gujarat riots day n night? A very sad reply came sayin that ONLY 38Lives have been lost till now in Kohkrajhar & intensity is not that high to report. Also the distance matters. This was the most shameful answer by a leading Journalist, later he had to apologise for his bad taste of reply. So this made India see the End of Ethics in Journalism.

India also noted that in year 2012, media or say MSM has transformed itself as TRP hunger & are also addressed as Paid Media for not show casing any fault of Govt. For eg., MSM covered news of kid fallen in bore well for non stop 2-3 days but did not give any importance to show the footage of Strike of Air India Pilots as the strike was against the Govt.

Sadly in Mumbai riots by Raza Academy we saw "END of Police Confidence" to hit back at one particular community people. Police stood mum when Raza Academy supporters burnt Police Vehicles, Media OB vans & damaged Buses.

The Exodus of NE People from accross the country saw "END of Rights to Live Independently" through out India.

What India also noticed was Govt banned SMS to 5 sms/day claiming that rumor smses caused the havoc. This was" END to freedom of Individual's right to be Socially connected to there loved ones".
On 21st August we saw "END of Democracy in Parliament" when in Rajya Sabha, Rajiv Shukla whispered to Dy Speaker on chair "Shor Bad raha hai, House full day Adjourn kar do." This was caught in the Mic & Camera. This was the biggest proof how Govt wants to Dominate in Parliament too.

Lastly Govt's decision to BLOCK Nationalist Tweeple's Twitter a/cs including few right wing Journalists was a Big step towards Govt's Dictatorship. This step is hugely criticized on Twitter as mass Tweeples turned there DP(Pics) full Black in Protest. So this step of Govt saw "END of Freedom to Oppose".
This was my little piece on how India Saw End of many Things in India in 2012. Due you think the so called Self Destruction of World in Dec 2012 would be bigger than above mentioned incidents? My answer is NO. India has sadly observed alot of good things coming to End.
