Two principles are involved in the controversy about the presence of foreign controlled
126130
media in the country; the free flow of ideas and images across national borders and the
131140 need to safeguard the national interest and preserve cultural autonomy. Both are valid
141150 but both are at loggerheads because each has been used to promote less lofty goals. The
151160 first principle conforms to a moral imperative: freedom to expression cannot rhyme with
161165 restrictions imposed by any government. But the free flow rhetoric also clouds the fact
Morethan166 that the powerful Western, and especially American media, can and often do present,
subtly or brazenly, news in a manner that promotes Western political, ideological and

strategic interests. Besides, Western entertainment programmes present lifestyles and
Votessofar:1687 values that run counter to the lifestyles and values cherished by traditional societies. All JoinTeamAdda247
Dayslefttovote:25 this explains why so many Indian newspapers, magazines and news agencies have sought
protection from the courts to prevent foreign publications and news agencies from
operating in the country. Their arguments are weak on two counts. As the bitter debate
SHAREYOURATTEMPTS on a new world information and communication order demonstrated in the late seventies
INRBIPHASE1EXAM and early eighties, many of those who resent Western invasion in the fields of

information and culture are no great friends of democracy. Secondly, the threat of such
Lessthan65 an invasion has been aired by those media groups in the developing countries that fear
6675 that their business interests will be harmed if Western groups, equipped with large
7685 financial and technological resources and superior management skills, are allowed to
operate in the country without let.

The fear is valid but it goes against the grain of the economic reform programme. The
Vote Showresults presence of foreign newspapers and television channels will increase competition, which,
in the course of time, can only lead to the upgradation of dynamic Indian newspapers and

television channels, even while they drive the rest out of the market. One way to strike a
balance between the two antagonistic principles would be to allow foreign media entry
into the country, provided the India state treats them at par with the domestic media on
all fronts. On the import of technology, for instance, foreign media cannot be allowed

BBC, or Time magazine or The Economist get away by showing a map of Kashmir, which CLERK)2017OnlineTest
is at variance with the official Indian map? Why should they go scotfree when they allow Series
secessionists and terrorists to air their views without giving the government the right to
reply, or when they depict sexually explicit scenes, which would otherwise not be
cleared by the Censor Board? Since the government can do precious little in the matter,
especially about satellite broadcasts, what if it should consider attaching the properties
of the offending parties? Demands of this kind are bound to be voiced unless New Delhi
makes it clear to the foreign media that they will have to respect Indian susceptibilities,
