The short story of Tehelka

Jhooth bole social media kaate

I guess I can call this beast as the biggest hoax printing machine of our times. This self-proclaimed independent magazine has been the venom spitting serpent for many years, it was deliberately allowed to go berserk due to its political inclinations and in return it was generously served financially and ideologically.

The growth of this magazine is an interesting phenomenon, not that it’s the most popular or a small magazine with intellectual insight, but it has always been a magazine which manufactured lies, fabricated issues, celebrated pseudo intellectualism, pushed biased opinions and promoted hate mongering.

It shouldn't come as a surprise for those who are aware of the disgusting views of this magazine, but when the same looney lot locates violence in the cartoons of Amar Chitra Katha and pontificates saying that they endorse murdering innocent Muslims, then that rubs the raw nerves.

When 9/11 happened, certain part of the world came out with hoax video on how the twin towers crashed, attack on pentagon etc... were the works of CIA and Al Qaeda was being blamed for no genuine reason, later this conspiracy video was actively shared on internet by cohorts of Noam Chomsky and then by Left Liberals. When 26/11 happened in Mumbai, the usual voices and whispers weren't that strong because of public anger and unprecedented display of sympathy for Indians and hatred for people who defended it as holy war, but on the other side of the western border, 26/11 was called as Hindu-Jewish conspiracy executed by RAW and Mossad. Just think of the audacity of this beast, it had a liberal hand to conceive conspiracy theories, they came up with the similar narration like that of our neighbor that 26/11 may be an RSS conspiracy. No one questioned such horrible views of this magazine. Time passed.

For many years, media has hidden the allegations that Naxalites turned Maoists have been raping women and been using tribal children as labors and slaves, bombing schools and restricting tribals from modern education and brainwashing them by feeding red literature, if I have to believe my friends in journalism, this magazine had enough reports of this barbarity across the country but it made sure that it never gets the attention and in parallel they circuitously supported the Maoist violence, sympathized with them when they beheaded policemen and mercilessly attacked the policemen whenever there was an encounter in the jungles.

This magazine has found its hardcore fans, they are the desi left liberals and communist claques. It’s not a surprise that Left Liberals and comrades find the quality of this magazine as the best as their sickening views resonate with that of the magazine. This magazine displayed the highest form of self-righteousness whenever and wherever they had a chance to spit their machinations. The fabricated sting operations of Gujarat riots, the constant support for scandalous hate spreading perjurist and periodically selecting their hit jobs.

Lefties are like chameleons, they change their color according to the situation and so is their level of self-righteousness – One can understand the values, morals and ethics of this magazine when one understand the motives of it when they try to comprehend the reason to send prostitutes to lure, seduce and make the people say what they need on a sting camera. Such type of journalism has never been questioned by mainstream media and this has been the way how they conducted many of the sting operations.

The mainstream media has now become the full-time bootlicker of the dynasty, they refused to expose the scams of government and surprisingly this magazine which has high level access to the government institutions and functionaries hardly talked about the unprecedented scams in independent India. It’s not surprising that ponytail crook was found blackmailing a chief minister to get his things done, he was also accused of extortion and hushed up the mining scam and gave a positive coverage when a financial deal was made. Such serious allegations were found against this magazine time and again but there was no outrage or questions on journalistic ethics, they had a perfect shield, the critics were afraid to question this mafia due to the Queen, the lefties and liberals knew that such things were part of their lifestyle – it’s only the social media which constantly exposed and questioned this magazine, thus this mafia even suggested to regulate internet.

Ours is the only nation in the whole world where the media wants the government to control and regulate internet. Every sane person knows and admits that this pompous magazine is the unofficial mouthpiece of the grand old party, it is adulated by dubious NGO activists, Maoists supporters and vicious Left Liberals. This magazine has been a Goebbelsian right from its inception, they have stupendous access to the drafts and reports of the caged parrot and constantly preach lies to satisfy their bosses. This magazine has repeatedly leaked the reports of the caged parrot and has spread the so called truth that a girl found with four terrorists was an innocent college going girl even though there is enough evidence available where the firangi 26/11 conspirator, LeT, IB, IM and several others say that she was on her task to become a martyr.

Some esteemed people were THiNK-ing and discussing about women’s safety at an event, the co-founder of the protections of women’s rights and freedom group(Taliban) was invited for this event too. This invitation has angered many, some ridiculed it, some spotted the irony and some supported by saying that this magazine by inviting a particular person doesn't necessarily need not agree with their ideas and nothing wrong in inviting such individuals. As Ayn Rand perfectly said “Liberalism is epistemological corruption.” Indian Left Liberals have been cossetting this beast for a very long time, a magazine cannot prosper just with the support of a political party, it has to get some endorsement from the public and this was given by left liberals who feel that any issue taken by this magazine is divine intervention, questioning the authenticity of their leaks is sacrilegious and people who refuse to believe the crap are fools.

The sexual assault by ponytail felon is not going to daunt this magazine from carrying with their hit jobs and questioning the conduct of female editor in terming the case of sexual assault as internal matter wouldn't make this magazine apprehended and think about their journalistic ethics. Desi comrades are its fuel, folks who share the articles of Facebook are its foot soldiers and people who believe the ideological inclinations of this magazine are its eternal mates even amidst of sexual assaults, extortion, blackmailing and terrorism.
