  1. Disclaimer: With malice to none. The Print is my favorite and the only channel I watch/ read for some of its offerings. As SG himself says, politics is an essential ingredient, as salt in food, in a democracy. But the all pervasive media is a more essential portion of life ( food, entertainment, work, play, religion, caste etc. etc.) in a democracy where free press and free speech is incumbent. The end result is that media and politics feed on each other and the people just take the left overs. Tailpiece: In a democracy, the politicians will use the fissures in society ( which precedes modern politics by many centuries) to create vote banks (religion, caste, creed, language, parochialism etc.. etc..). So do not except them to solve societal problems.By sheer logic, it is not even a probability.The media creates the din.
