It's the entertainment and shock value they were to provide, I thought. And not to enmesh themselves into religious, political or whatever tangles.
Hmmm ... entertainment and shock value are entirely different things ... if it's shock value they seek then I, for one, am suitably shocked at the state of affairs ... π
And not to enmesh themselves into religious, political or whatever tangles.
From my perspective, their position has already enmeshed them in all of the above ... you must tell me, for my edification, which domain of human activity is bereft of a political angle ... and my understanding is that in this day and age 'ethics' is being taught in business school ... there's a reason why that is the case ... π
You can as well chalk it up to their lack of adequate knowledge about the religion of the minorities if you wanna.
It is ignorance ... and you are condoning this appalling state of affairs ... my beef is that while I hardly expect the authorities to enforce laws to the extent specified in the books (maintain the status quo because they are the ultimate beneficiaries), I do hold the rest of the population and viewership culpable by virtue of their tacit approval of this kind of travesty ...
Unfortunately, the minorities are either just gonna have to adapt to what they've got or switch to something that can measure up to their preferences.
Unfortunately?!! So let's just extrapolate that a tad further shall we ... everyone who is oppressed in any shape, way, or form can just well lump it and chalk it up to 'that's just how things are, take it or leave it' ... shall we apply this principle to ... oh let's say ... female trafficking for prostitution? After all, that too is a business
And no, minorities can demand a change ... but that requires 'vocalizing' one's displeasure ... which is precisely what I am doing ... I - for now - belong to the minority class of the atheist, and would like to live to see the day when 'religion' is dismantled to be supplanted with a more universal code of ethics (I won't of course) ... but since religion is here to stay, I shall then demand that in a secular republic like India, every effort be made to be inclusive - irrespective of the domain! And given that I now know that you live in this wonderful part of the world, my expectation would have been that you had imbibed many of the principles that make this country (despite its myriad faults) a mecca for all kinds from the rest of the globe ... protection of minority rights is one fundamental principle to which this country strives to adhere - sometimes manifested as explicit apologies to minority populations for crimes commited against them e.g. the interning of the Japanese during WW II (which incidentally did not begin as some one having a pang of conscience about their wrong doing but by the affected group forming a coalition and speaking out) ...
So, I believe I have initiated the process ... I should love to hear back from those other 'minority' groups about how they feel to be so excluded ...
Now, with regard to my 'quest' ... you are right that I seek a solution ... and I have already quite unequivocally stated what that solution entails ... suggestions are there in my posts ...
I do want to bring to your attention that I find this situation to be especially troublesome in the case of the reality show where there is representation from minority groups (specifically the music talent shows) ... and yet, they are routinely subjected to the Hindu perspective on life and are unable to speak out ... I take vehement objection to this practice ...
lolz.
I am as yet, not fully initiated in the cryptic ... but if this is you laughing, then I find that to be inexpressibly sad ...π
