As India marks the historic inauguration of the grand Ayodhya Ram Mandir, a glaring pattern emerges in the coverage by foreign news channels. Bharat is used to being trashed for no reason in foreign media platforms But the BBC, France 24, DW News, CNN, and Global News are hell-bent on painting the 22nd January Pran Pratishtha as a controversy!
Foreign News Channels are weaving a narrative that leans heavily on misinformation, oversights, and historical amnesia! We usually ignore Al Jazeera for its propaganda, its bias stems from religious intolerance! But the general tone of global news channels shows a typical ‘toolkit’ media pattern!!! Here is a comprehensive analysis of their coverage raising critical questions about objectivity, historical context, and journalistic responsibility as purveyors of global news.
PC BBC
BBC’s coverage of the Ayodhya Ram Temple Pran Pratishtha starts with labeling it as the beginning of Prime Minister Modi’s election campaign. This sets the tone that downplays the significance of this monumental event for all Sanatanis. The channel fixates on what it deems the ‘illegal’ demolition of a mosque. It takes a selective approach that conveniently sidesteps crucial historical events.
BBC’s biased narrative hinges on the fact that a 16th-century mosque was demolished! However, it forgets to include that the construction of the Babri structure was a consequence of the brutal invasions of Bharat by Babur. The structure was not a place of worship but a place of subjugation of Hindu Dharma, made by Babur’s commander Mir Baqi. This invading commander’s demolition of the then-existing Ayodhya Ram Mandir on the Ram Lalla’s birthplace is a pivotal historical event that the channel conveniently leaves out.
Moreover, BBC does not include the British colonizers’ reluctance to return the temple site to its rightful owners. This historical injustice of the British the BBC neglects to acknowledge. The entire story was projected as a giant political move by a Hindu nationalist party! It spoke about the pain of Indian Muslims but ignored the denial of justice to suppressed Hindus.
PC France 24
France 24’s coverage appears to be preoccupied with the political messaging related to the Ayodhya Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony! They brand the consecration of Ram Lalla as a political triumph for PM Modi and Hindu nationalists. Michael Kugelman, an invited expert, statements in the interview reflect a denial of the existence of the millennia-old Ram Temple that Babur’s forces demolished!
The channel underplays the ongoing efforts of Hindus to reclaim their sacred space, focusing solely on the electoral implications. Their myopic lens asks where the Masjid that was to be built along with the Mandir?!?? They forget that a Muslim trust is responsible for building the mosque, not the government! They project the ceremony as a failure of secularism. France 24 talks about the huge cost of the mandir construction but refuses to talk about how each penny comes from honest Sanatani’s pocket!
PC DW News
DW News chooses to emphasize the BJP’s hyping of the event ahead of the 2024 general elections. Their take on the narrative was an oversimplification of a 500-year-long struggle for the temple’s construction. By doing so, the channel risks sidelining the deep-rooted cultural and religious sentiments associated with Ayodhya and Ram Janmabhoomi.
The channel’s coverage simplifies the significance of the event to fit into the political narrative. They skip over the episode in the 19th century when the Nihang Sikhs entered the mosque to perform a hawan. They underscore the deep-seated religious sentiment associated with the site. The ASI findings of archaeological remains under the mosque, including pillars and temple structures, are also overlooked. Downplaying the continuous efforts by Hindus to reclaim their sacred space, is similar to looking down on Hindu sentiments! By portraying the temple’s construction and consecration as a politically motivated move, they overshadow the enduring cultural and religious Sanatani sentiments associated with Ayodhya in Bharat.
PC CNN
CNN’s narrative building is second to none! Their fragmented perspective echoes the controversy surrounding the mosque. They refuse to delve into the historical scars left by Islamic invasions and the subsequent barbaric demolition of the original Ayodhya Ram Mandir. The channel conveniently critiques the Supreme Court’s ruling as anti-minority without acknowledging the court’s impartiality.
CNN further portrays the consecration as a divisive move by a Hindu nationalist party! Thereby, overlooking the collective aspiration of a billion Sanatani population that somehow bears the onus of being secular!!! CNN misrepresents the broader context of the issue and creates a controversy out of thin air at Ayodhya Ram Temple.
PC Global News
If you hear the subliminal message, Global News clearly raises questions about the existence of Bhagwan Ram and his birthplace. They are subtly casting doubt on the Vedic scriptures that are proof of Bharat’s Sanatani history! The channel revisits the 1990 BJP campaign without acknowledging the bloody historical invasions that gave birth to the issue! It ignores the ASI records that state that the Babri Structure was constructed using as well as on the remnants of the original Ayodhya Ram Mandir.
By critiquing the 2020 Supreme Court verdict as painful for minorities, Global News adds fuel to the fire! Their half-truths induce a layer of skepticism to its coverage. This skepticism ignores the proven history associated with Ayodhya. Moreover, it fails to recognize that more than 2,000 Hindus lost their lives to reclaim this place of worship! Why do they only feel the pain of the Islamic invaders’ chamchas or deranged forced convertees???
PC Sakshi Post
As the world witnesses this monumental event for Bharat, it is crucial to dissect the narratives presented by foreign media outlets. Their selective reporting, political myopia, and oversimplified narratives betray their identity as a ‘toolkit’! Their lack of nuanced understanding of the historical and cultural content showcases their cunning lack of complexity that surrounds the construction of the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya.
The foreign news channels portray Ayodhya Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha in a negative and controversial lens! Their narrative is riddled with oversights, misinterpretations, and a lack of historical depth. The presentation of divisive and selective narratives showcases a political agenda that guides their words!!! Why can they not be happy when Hindus are rejoicing??? Do they have a right to misrepresent Bharat’s truths???
With the rise of Bharat as a global superpower, there will be a proportional increase in those who will attempt to bring it down! Thus, consumers of global news must learn to be critical and discerning of anything these channels say!!! Bharat must hold its head high to look these detractors in the eye! Let these international media outlets carry out biased reporting! Bharat shall expose them for their lack of depth and comprehension of the complexity of its historical events. Let them continue to malign Bharat and its Hindus for reclaiming their Ram Lalla’s abode! Sanatani Bharat does not care about their opinions! In fact, Bharat shall not forget and neither forgive! When the time is right, these forces of ‘toolkit’ reporting shall face their Karma! Jai Siya Ram!!
