MAHATMA GANDHI

Excerpts from the commemorative speech delivered by Shri Thushar Gandhi at the Kerala Media Academy on 1st Feb 2018.

AS AN EDITOR AND JOURNALIST THUSHAR ARUN GANDHI

Communicator. So that you are inspired to do something to enumerate him of bring his brand of journalism into your profession. Please don’t consider it only as a profession. Because this is one of those duties, and that is also responsibility equally as much as it is a profession. I don’t deny that today. We need a profession. We need to earn money from it.

W

hen I was requested to come and speak to all of you, I thought it was a privilage for me to be with all of you. Because I speak to those who are going to - in the future to become the pillars - be the fourth pillar of Democracy. It is very important that you realize your responsibilities. I have been asked to talk of Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi, the journalist. When I speak of Mahatma Gandhi, you will feel that he is too far remote that you cannot aspire to become like him. But what I want to talk to you about today is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the Journalist and the 6

amˬv 2018

Bapu’s times were different. So it was taken more as a responsibility. But Bapu was a fantastic communicator. Apart from being a journalist or a publisher or anything else he was a fantastic communicator. His speech was not impressive. He could not impress people like the orators that you see today, and who get a lot of claps when they speak. He was a very plane simple speaker. But the magic of this communication was his simplicity. He believed in the least amount of words. He believed in talking in the most simplified terms. If you notice, when he came back from South Africa and took command of the freedom movement, if you look through his writings and speeches of that period, you will realize that whether he was speaking to the illiterate farmers of Champaran or he was speaking to the congress working committee in Mumbai. Which was full of Barristers and lawyers who were trained and educated abroad and who are the elite of India at that time. He did not speak in two different languages. He did not speak in two different terms. When he spoke to the farmer of champaran he used the same language and the farmers of Champaran understood him perfectly. They did not need to have an interpreter to explain what Mr. Gandhi had talked to them.

And also all the very intelligent, very sophisticated, very erudite western educated elite in

Mumbai, when he spoke to them, he used the same language.

Gandhiji did not have to change his language to impress his listners was that they could feel the honesty in the language.

They could feel the honesty in the language.

They could understand every word. You have a very good example for an orator from Kerala itself. The MP of Thiruvananthapuram Mr. Shashi Tharoor. When he speaks we will sit with a dictionary to find out the meanings of the words. Very intelligent Communicator. I am not saying he is not an intelligent communicator. But too intelligent for somebody like me. Literally I would sit with the dictionary and for every second word I would have to look out What did that mean. That is his School of Communication. But the School of Communication that Bupu came from, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi came from, you did

Shashi Tharoor

not require the dictionary. To an illiterate person, there was enough significance in his language to understand what he was trying to say. And to that very intelligent elite, there was enough intelligence and philosophy in that language for them also to understand the deeper meaning in his communication. That was the charm of his communication and that is where he appealed to such a diverse mass of India. From the illiterate peasants of Champaran to the very literate advocates and lawyers and Captains of industry of Mumbai and Delhi. That is the hallmark of a great communicator.

Bapu also got into a lot of trouble because of his belief and ideology and all that. And his writing and communication skill has started right from the beginning when he went as a barrister to South Africa. He was appearing for a client in the Court in Durban. And wanting to assert his Indian identity in court, he went into court, wearing a turban, Indian Pagidi - and the British judge ordered him to remove the Pagidi – Saying it is discourteous because English men, when they enter the court, they would remove their hat. And Bapu explained that this is not a hat that I am wearing. He was adamant and he refused to remove the Pagidi. And the judge threw him out of the court. Bapu refused to accept that Verdict. He said, ‘No, I will wear my Pagidi’. It is a symbol of my identity. I want to establish my Indian ness in your Court. It went all for six months. Bapu decided that, because the judge was a Britisher, and the colony was full of Britishers and they understood what the judge was saying. And the sympathy was with the British judge. Bapu needed to explain his side of it also. amÀ¨v 2018

There is a series of articles that he wrote during that time. Although they were all addressed to the judge, they were also explaining his side to the British populace. Six months later, when the judge accepted his arguments and allowed him to appear in court in with his turban, Bapu said, now that you have allowed me to come to court wearing my turban, I will obey you and remove my turban and come. But before doing that he had explained in his articles.

Recently I was asked to compile some examples of the expertise of the communication skills, so I went through the entire collected works of Mahatma Gandhi and I took out speeches, articles letters that to me felt very good examples of his communication skills and I got this whole series of the articles that he wrote explaining his stance in Court. It is so brilliant very simple English. very simple language. No flourishes. No florid.

Nothing to show how great he was. No quotations from Gita or Bible or Quran or any where. Just simple facts that he stated strung together. Very easy to understand for anybody. Within that period of six months he had created sympathy for himself in a strange land in a place where people did not know the cultured things that he was talking about or never even cared for them. This was one of the first times when as a communicator he was exhibiting his skills in a foreign land. After that his ability to communicate also created 8

amˬv 2018

a lot of trouble for him. On his first trip back to India, when he had already started the fight for equal rights in South Africa where he was very troubled by the unjust second citizen or step citizen attitude that the British colonial government was having towards its Indian subjects in South Africa and he started the civil disobedience movement over there. To gain sympathy for that movement, when he came back to India, from Rajkhot he wrote a long article about the unjust ways of the colonial powers in South Africa against the Indians. And then he made copies of that article.

And he sent it to all the periodicals or the journals or the newspapers and made it to all the leaders of the congress also. It was very widely circulated. It went to England also.

And one of the international news agencies picked it up. And it was misreported in South Africa. Now because he made cyclostyled copies of that article into a booklet form and he used a green paper as a cover, may be that day, the cyclostyled shop only had a green and white papers and so it happened that the cover of that booklet was green. So it came to be known as the green pamphlet. The green pamphlet and it became. In South Africa it was reported that Gandhi is going and spreading malicious gossips about South Africans and he is insulting them. And he has defamed South African and he in sighting Indian to come in large numbers to South Africa to fight against the white people. So there was a lot of hatred against him while he was going back. He got heatened up.

When he reached Durban, he got beaten up for that. He refused to file a police complaint against his assaulters. The head of the station was telling him,

give us your name, file a complaint against those people who have beaten you up; we will file charges against them and sue them. He said no. I don’t have any enmity with them. I will not file charges. I will explain what I have done. They have been misinformed what I did.

I will take my case to them and then again he wrote a series of articles in the local papers explain exactly what he had done through his Green Pamphlet. And within another period of three months everybody who was hating him, who actually wanted to kill him, murder him he was saved. He would have been killed that day itself. They all came back to understand and appreciate his stance. They said no. It is not against us. But he is just pointing out the discrimination that has happened against these people. This is the skill of an expert master communicator. Today we lack that ability.

Today, good communicators are those who can inflame passion. Who can mix lies so beautifully with fact that you get confused when they are lying and when they are telling the truth.

And it is mostly their lies which inflame our passions and cause so much trouble in our nation. In the recent times you will have seen how the media has been used and abused . And the media has allowed itself to be used and abused to spread misinformation in this country and create troubles. The recent events in Utter Pradhesh point towards that. If you study that, that is where the problems have occurred.

That communication has been used to inflame more than to inform. The reason he became an editor and publisher was also because of that.

Because when he launched his movement for civil disobedience he realized that when it was reported in other periodicals and papers, it was always what the reporters of that periodicals understood. Or what the editors and publishers of these periodicals wanted to publish in their periodicals. So he found it very difficult to actually send his message out to the masses, to make them understand. You must remember.

Bapu gave emphasis as much on communicating with his followers as much as he laid emphasis on communicating with his opponents. ‘He believed that the people I am fighting against must understand, why I am fighting. They must not feel that I am their enemy.’ They must understand my point of view.

And if they understand my point of view, then they will sympathise with what I am doing. And then it will become easier for me to make them accept my point of view. So whenever he started communicating under the guise of talking with his followers he used to always focus on his opponents. If you look at his editorials and the way he reported in the Indian Opinion, there were two distinct streams that happen.

One was his editorials, which talked about the current situation in South Africa amongst the Indian Community. The other was community news. He knew that if he wanted his community to read, when I say community, it does’nt meant the Gujarati community of South Africa.

It meant all the people of Indian origin. That time Indian origin meant today’s Pakistan and Bengladesh also. So everybody who were from this area of Asia. He was addressing them. He also used the Indian opinion to communicate with the Chinese who are in South Africa to make them feel that this was not just a leader of the Gujaratis or the leader of the Indians who were representing them. He also wanted to show that if there was injustice done against them, he was also addressing that injustices.

He assured them that he was there if there was injustice done to, against them he was also addressing that injustice. This is the charm of a communicator. Making it very plain, making it very essential to his readers understand that he was not speaking to a narrow mass of people.

This was another skill that he had. He could appeal to everybody go beyond national identities, go beyond religious identities, go beyond ethnic identities and address everybody and make them feel that he was talking to them.

After the Zulu rebellion Gandhiji started communicating with the leaders of the Zulu and the native Africans because he realized that they were suffering even greater than what the native Indians were made to suffer. And after the Zulu rebellion he also started making their voice heard along with their own leaders and so Indian opinion matured into the kind of opinion paper of the immigrant community in South Africa. The Language was not important.

The language was ofcourse Gujrati and Tamil because those were the major languages to whom he was speaking but he was telling them about the issues of the other people. He was amˬv 2018

making the Gujrati reader aware of the issues of the Chinese, of the Zulus of the Muslims and everyone. And so by that communication he was creating awareness amongst them that don’t think that you are isolated. If we all align with all these groups then we will be able to forge a better and stronger army or reply to our oppressor. He used it to embarrass the oppressor. When it came time to prove his loyalty to the crown, many people today, the so called, Desh Bhakths of today, they poke fun against him saying ‘look, he works with the British in the Boer war and the Zulu rebellion’. They do not realize that he was doing two things at that time. He was not only proving his loyalty to the Crown because he was asking for equality for all the subjects of the Crown. And he said that morally he had the duty to prove to the Crown that we are the loyal subjects also. And thus embarrassed them; that we proved our loyalty, now you prove that you are giving equal treatment to all your subjects. He forced them to do that. He was in the ambulance squad. He did not take up weapons to fight. The charm of it was he did his band of men were the only unarmed men who were actually right in the middle of the battle between the two armies.

The Boers on one side and the British troops on the other side. The bullets were flying all over.

And they were running around the battlefield treating the injured soldiers. Carrying injured 10

amˬv 2018

soldiers who were critically injured. Sometimes for 22 miles on a stretcher on foot, no ambulances; the nearest hospital camps were 22-23 miles in the rear of the battle front. He and his men were carrying them. Everybody says what happened? How did they not get shocked.

What happened was the armies of both sides understood that Gandhi and his men were not going to save only British soldiers. They were saving all the wounded; whether they were British or the Boer. They were saving all of them.

They were treating all of them equally.

He got into trouble with his British superiors because he used to carry Boer soldiers.

Boers were the Dutch soldiers of South Africa.

He used to carry those wounded to the British Hospital Camps. Initially, the British doctor refused that these are enemies. He told them ‘see, you are doctors; these are patients.

Those are wounded, injured people who need your treatment. You decide whether you are only British doctors or Doctors.’ He forced them to save those people also. This word got around amongst both the armies fighting each other and they said ‘No, no we can’t kill them; because tomorrow if we are wounded they will came to our aid. In the middle of the battle too he used communication skills, not by speaking but through his actions. He sent out the message to the warring armies that we are

not part of your war. We are only over here to help those who need assistance. So many a times, its merely not that words communicate but it is also actions that help us to communicate even more strongly and it is more difficult.

This is the hall mark of a master communicator.

This is what he has learned. This is how he has inspired us.

His other master piece also happened when he was in South Africa. His Gita, his Bible or his Quran was written while he was in South Africa in 1909, he wrote his preaching’s called Hind Swaraj. Hind Swaraj is the book that explain Gandhism even today. Some of the things written in the book is difficult even today for Doctors and lawyers even today. Think about the situation how we have created disparities in our society. How those who have everything too much of everything. And those who have nothing have absolutely nothing. All though both of them are citizens of our India. Even the basic requirements this nation does not provide equitably Jo bhuke marthe hei, wo bhuke hi marthe hei jiske pass hei uske pass beshuman hei. I hope you can understand sharook khan’s Style - so little bit of Hindi you can understand.

So this is the disparity he addresses in Hind Swaraj. It was written a hundred years ago. It is the only thing, 40 years later on the anniversary of it. Somebody came to him and asked would you like to edit it - rewrite it.

He replaced “I don’t want to change even a coma or full stop from what I have written.”

It is very important to understand a man who have also said that ‘if I express two opposing opinions on a subject please consider what I am saying on a later date is what I believe it because experiences have shown me that before I was wrong and now experiences have taught me that I must change my opinion’. It needs a lot of courage to admit that experience have taught me that I was wrong before experiencing life. A man who believed in that fact that may be after some time my opinion will change, experiences can change ones opinion has replied in this manner. But somebody who believed in that for him to say or who refused to change a coma or a full stop in the manuscript of Hind Swaraj is something that you must realize is how much he believed in what he did. He wrote it while he was to travelling from England

to South Africa by ship. For 21days it was as if he was pouring out of him. It was like Vedavyasa and Ganapathy rendering the Mahabharat.

I have seen the original manuscript. Half the book he has written with his right hand and when his right hand got tired he used to write with his left hand. I have seen the hand written manuscript. For somebody who is so passionate about writing it seems that the words were flowing out of his heart. Please do read it. You can understand that man’s capabilities as an Orator, as a Communicator. Throughout his life he realized the power of communication and he used print, newspapers and he also used the technology.

When he used to travel by train, his secretary first Mahajan Desai and then Thyagaraja Aiyer, every time when the train reaches the station he will jump off the train and go to the telegraph office because at that time telegraphic offices were built along with the Railway Station and would sent out letters and telegraphs that Bapu had written between the station while travelling. He had intellect as we had it. He would have made most use of that culture. A few years back, there was an award winning advertisement of the Italian Telecom.

If you go and search in the YouTube you will see this ad. The ad. starts, it goes pan through different world famous land marks from all over the world, the Red square, The Ifel Tower, The Washington memorial, Mount Fuji, Taj Mahal all these places go into this. It shows that the people in those place hearing a message from heaven - a voice speaking from heaven and it continues like that and as the camera slowly zooms into the voice is getting louder then you end up and then you realize that it is Bapu’s voice. They don’t show Bapu’s image. May be they might have to pay royalty for that and the ad. ends saying that if he had access to our technology, the world would have been a different place. I suggest that you must take a look at this. It is a masterful communication speech.

The ad film for the Italian telecom won a lot of awards in Europe. This is how communication must be. You look at or read his autobiography.

LANGUAGE AND GENDER: REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN MALAYALAM MEDIA

S

EXISM AND MISOGYNY: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? This is a headline that appeared in The Guardian 6 years ago. The Guardian’s attempt was, perhaps to explore how to place the misogynist comments made by world leaders while reporting them. Lately, an Australian dictionary happened to redefine the word misogyny as well. This change was made in the light of the recognition that misogyny is not just a hatred of women but an intended prejudice against women. This is an evidence of the anxieties that the world has come to harbour about the meanings that are constructed regarding women in social discourses. When the same problem is addressed within the context of news reporting in Malayalam media, we can see that the construction of media language is misogynist to the point of being criminal. This study is solely based on the language used by media to report sexual crimes where women litigants are involved. It is observed that the language used for reporting such criminal offenses are equally offensive to women. As a woman who worked in visual media for 16 years, I perceive two reasons for this situation:

1.

When the English words under concern are translated, Malayalam, as a language, often has no synonymous words.

2.

Even where equivalent Malayalam words exist, sometimes destructive and sexist words are used.

SREEKALA M S

The history of Malayalam newspaper journalism begins with Rajyasamacharam, 13 years before the IPC was conscripted in 1860.

The paradox remains that if one does not count the journals similar to Rajyasamacharam which were established with a missionary interest, the print media journalism in Kerala categorically begins in 1860 with the publication of the Western Star in English language. It is intriguing to note that the IPC drafted by the British in 1860’s defines the crimes in India even today. amÀ¨v 2018

29

The fact that should be read in tandem is that it was exclusively men who led printing and newspaper journalism which heralded the Kerala renaissance. The men who came to occupy the central positions in the renaissance movement, social and community reforms, the field of literature and thus the public sphere as a whole, were the very dignitaries who inaugurated print journalism in Malayalam. In a period when women were completely invisible and didn’t even have a nominal say in decision making, the word formation in the language was entirely the domain of men. ''Males have had more power in society and has included the power to enforce through language their view of the world'' (Spender, 1985). Males have had control over the production of cultural forms.

The theory of Spender which states that males have encoded sexism into language to consolidate their claims of male supremacy is perhaps more suited to the word-translations are made from English to Malayalam while reporting crimes against women.

The hegemony of the English which began during the colonial era must be remembered while discussing this matter. When English became the language of judiciary in India, the responsibility to translate this discourse to Indian languages was shouldered by print journalism in regional languages. In short, the words which are used by the media even today were formed by the Malayalam newspapers of those times according to their discretion. It must be realized that each and every word that is found problematic by the contemporary standard is a social construct of the historical contexts in which they were conceived. The association between word formation and social structure has been proven by numerous studies. Lexical word formation is determined and influenced by social and socio cultural contexts.… The nature of word – external socio cultural context - is interdependent on the connectedness between morphology, acceptability and appropriatedness. (Fetzer, 2004) 30

amˬv 2018

It needs to be said that there is no Malayalam equivalent for the word 'Rape' which is the most atrocious crime against women. Even in official use, rape is translated as 'balalsanga, literally, forced intercourse. While the term rape treats the crime as an act in itself, the term 'balalsanga' which incopoprates the term 'sanga'or intercourse brings in a sexual activity and thus encodes sexism. At times when boys and transpersons are subjected to rape by men, the aforementioned word confines itself to the limited scope of heterosexual intercourse. In the word 'balalsangam', the play of words generate playfulness. Significations connoted by terms like 'balalsangam' and 'koottabalalsangam' (gang rape) carry the larger connotations of a mans’s sexual fantasies. Except for the term 'balatkara', the connotation that what happened is 'sanga'or sexual intercourse is an atrocious one.

However things do not end there. If we move from this word which was first used in the late 19th century towards the 21st century, then a more outrightly sexist word is used by the media – namely, 'manabhangam', literally the outraging of modesty. Sec.354 of IPC describes rape as an attempt to outrage the modesty of a woman. In an age where the very notion of

honour as being linked to a woman’s body is being considered sexist, even the description given in the IPC must be problematized. In such a time, the media continues to call rape 'manabhangam'. The media here overtly proclaims to the raped woman that the rape has dishonoured the victim. This forces not just the victim but every man and woman to perceive a sexual crime as one that destroys modesty and honour. In a country where a rape occurs in every 30 minute, the media thus commits a huge act of conditioning. Not just rape, but even those crimes that are less grave are being described by the media as an attack on the woman’s dignity. It needs to be remarked that this attitude of media knowingly or unknowingly destructs the honour of a woman and protects that of the rapist and that of the potential rapist.

i.e, literally, wealth provided by the bride. In reality, dowry is the price that a woman needs to pay for an eligible groom. It can be often seen that a better husband always comes with a greater price. In reality dowry should have been translated as 'varavila', literally groom price.

However, the patriarchal media does away with this term that hurts the male pride and replaces it with a term that connotes that dowry is a responsibility of women. Sex racket is a term which became familiar to Malayali in the 90’s through cases like suryanelli gang rape. Though the word-to-word translation for the term should have been 'laingika racket'(Sex racket), 'laingika vyaparam'or 'laingika vanibham'(sex trade); the media translated it as 'penvanibham', literally woman trade. Theory of Dale Spender suits well for the regional news rooms!

One must closely examine the political correctness of translated words. The word victim is translated into Malayalam as 'ira'. While the term 'ira'is synonymous with the term prey in English, how is it that victim could be translated as 'ira'? People learn about preys and predators in their General Science texts from primary school days. They often deal with the fact that herbivorous animals like hare and deer are naturally preyed upon by carnivorous animals like tiger and lion. How natural! Regrettably, the media has now made woman a natural prey for the sexual atrocities and assertion of power perpetuated by men. The politics behind the usage of terms similar to prey are not so apparent and hard to recognize than that of the words like 'manabhangam'.

The issues of news reports concerning women is not just confined to terms alone but it extends to phrases and style as well. Irrespective of the commendations achieved by a woman, her identity still revolves around the male counter part – she is her husband’s wife for the media. Whilst the Constitution of India ensures equal freedom to travel for both men and women, if a woman is attacked after sunset, the phrase 'asamayam', or ‘odd hours’ invariably crops up. Even when more than one woman travel together, the term 'alone' will be used.

Let me conclude with an example of a recent incident which led to the resignation of

A deeper enquiry will prove that this is not just an issue of the period when IPC was drafted.

The same problem persisted even in the latter half of the twentieth century. A valid example can be found in the draft of Dowry prohibition act which was formulated in 1961. The media has conveniently translated dowry as 'sthreedanam', amˬv 2018

31

the Minister, A.K. Saseendran. The incident is familiar to English journalism as one of ‘honey trap’. In Malayalam the word-to-word translation should have been 'thenkeni'(honey trap) or 'madhurakkeni'(sweet-trap).

Even 'phone keni' (phone trap), a word which focuses on the gadget could have been used. In many of the news rooms the word conceived was 'penkeni', or woman trap. Now there are women media person who raise their voice against the usage of such derogatory terms in the media institutes as being offensive to women. At least in news rooms where a considerable number of women were present, the term 'penkeni' was quickly replaced with 'phone keni' even before the breaking news was withdrawn. There are also places which stubbornly held on to the first usage. It is not just the women who have grievances. The sexual minorities are fighting against media which translates the term transgender as 'bhinnalaingikar' or the ones with a different sexuality. It hasn’t been long since the term 'anyasamsthanathozhilai' (workers from alien states) were corrected into 'itharasamsthanathozhilali'(workers from other states). The visual and print media in Kerala has the history of amending rightly the terms like pulayan, cheruman, harijan into more politically correct terms like Scheduled Castes first and Dalit later.

As far as Kerala is concerned, there hasn’t been even this nominal progress when it comes to half of its population. The people who defined our crimes through IPC, are in a discussion of maleness in their language. They debate the difference between sexism and misogyny. We, who retain their terms with all its misogynistic translations, do not even recognize this.

Feminists opine that there is no language to explain the female experience. ''Our world view is determined by the structures of the particular language that we happen to speak.''

(Cameron, 1998). Feminists like Catherine Makinnon argue that male power over language has allowed them to create reality. If the news representing women shall become more congenial to the reality of women, then it is 'a global necessity to redefine the terms that are 32

amˬv 2018

already in use and also to invent new a language with new words and new rules'. Only in this way, they suggest, will women be able to break free from the constraints of male language. (Tirrell, 1993).

What Kerala needs is a realistic and practical stance. Renaissance happened by the means of language. Women too are beneficiaries of various socio-cultural, communal and political reforms. Even so, if women are portrayed through the media in offensive ways, then it must be changed. Let our politically conscious media be the torchbearers for this vital second renaissance in the language.

THE RISE AND RISE OF DATA JOURNALISM

36

“D

ata Journalism” is a phrase that the layman on the street may not be familiar with but he is seeing it done every single day on almost every second national news and state news channels across television that uses data journalism as its main form of expression for some news flashes, or, uses data to support its investigative stories and reports on scams, corruption in different branches of the government at the state and central levels and so on. In other words, it throws up facts as they are and could be termed a logical extension of what we know as investigative journalism. It is extremely popular for television news watches, and is a point of focus in the print media by financial journals and newspapers and tabloids such as The Economic Times and the Financial Express and many others.

were injured, a reporter just cannot write “a few died and some were injured in a car crash last evening.: It is mandatory for a reliable reporter to state how many died, how many were injured, state the degree of injury of these victims, the medical aid they were given or the hospital they were taken Shoma A. Chatterji to and so on. Vague and ambivalent words like “many”, “much”, :any”, “injured” do not work at all. This is just a report mind you and not an example of data journalism.

The simplest form of data one can see is in an accident report. For example, in a car crash that killed the driver and the person seated beside him and the three seated on the backseat

For a beginner, facts and data sheets, tables, pie charts and graphs may appear visually colourful but very intimidating even to gloss over them, let alone go deeper into the textual

cial terms. Many of them had direct or indirect links with the then-ruling party and even if the journalist had not made any comment, the viewer was free to draw his own conclusions about how the state government was favouring fake applicants and excluding genuine ones.

explanation of these data. The television viewer or the net surfer or the newspaper buff gets curious and hooked – in that order because data journalism throws up facts and tables and reveals exact figures of a scam or how much salary does a CM of a State get and how the money is spent, how much does he/she get from the party, what is done with the gifts and the money he/she received for foreign speaking tours and invited visits to foreign countries and so on. The Indian tradition however, was for the PM of the country to directly credit any earnings from foreign tours to the Prime Minister’s Relef Fund. What is the Prime Minister’ Relief Fund and where does the money finally go to? To select NGOs? To people living below the Poverty Line? To handpicked orphanages? What is the geographical and demographic distribution of these funds? Who decides on selecting the target beneficiaries?

For example, during the Left-Front rule in West Bengal just before TMC came to power, a Bengali news channel journalist had done a tremendous amount of field work to find out discrepancies in the distribution of BPL ration cards among the very poor in Burdwan District. The figures were not only alarming but shocking too. The investigation was triggered by several genuine BPL candidates who had not received their ration cards even after filling their forms and the verification was done. The list was well-tabled one that gave names, ages, addresses and average monthly incomes of the beneficiaries. It was discovered that only a few of the names in the list were genuine BPL candidates while the remaining did not qualify to fall in the BPL category but were okay in finan-

How is the data sourced? The Internet is not reliable at all because different websites give different data. The reliability of the data would also depend on the political affiliations and/or funding the particular website has. If it is funded by corporate giants, or by political parties, the data cannot be relied upon at all.

There are different institutions specially focussed on collecting data and statistical analysis of data and a journalist can seek financial and other data from these organizations with proper credentials. One example is the National Crime Records Bureau where data related to specific crimes are available and accessible on the NET. Now that we have RTI, anyone can access Reserve Bank of India (RBI) data, which, for the Punjab National Bank fraud by Nirav Modi and Associates was accessed by a Reuters reporter through a right-to-information request. The data reveals that shows state-run banks have reported 8,670 "loan fraud" cases totalling Rs. 612.6 billion ($9.58 billion) over the last five financial years up to March 31, 2017.(NDTV, February 16 2017) But that is not enough. To cover the way farmers were dying left, right and centre, committing suicide burdened by loans from moneylenders at prohibitive rates of interest, photojournalist P. Sainath toured ten drought-stricken states in India. He is reported to have said, "That's when I learned that conventional journalism was above all about the service of power. You always give the last word to authority. I got a couple of prizes which I didn't pick up because P Sainath I was ashamed.”

has called him "one of the world's great experts on famine and hunger". But it would be wrong to label P. Sainath a “data journalist.” He is much more than that because he has been primarily concerned with rural reporting and the tragedy of people living and working in the rural areas of India. His travels ensure that his data is available at first hand by him and he uses this data to back up his argument about the real India and not as his main subject.

IndiaSpend is a very good webzine on data journalism and though the masthead carries the prefix “India”, it collects, collates and presents data journalism from different parts of the world. It claims to be India’s first data journalism initiative. The webzine, founded in 2011 by editor-in-Chief of Bloomberg TV India, India Spend aims at fostering (a) better governance, (b) transparency and (c) accountability in the Indian government. In its “About” portal, it states, “IndiaSpend is rapidly growing to become an 'agency of record’ when it comes to data and facts on the Indian economy, particularly in areas like education and healthcare as well as data on the states of India.” In March 2014, they also launched Factchecker.in, a dedicated fact checking initiative that examines statements and assertions made by those in public 38

life for both accuracy and context. IndiaSpend is a non-profit and a project of The Spending & Policy Research Foundationl located in Lower Parel in Mumbai, and registered as a Charitable Trust with the Charity Commissioner, Mumbai.

About Data Journalism Net is an international a hub for news and resources from the community of journalists, editors, designers and developers who use data in the service of journalism. The website is part of the European Journalism Centre’s Data Driven Journalism initiative and is a leading initiative for training, resources and networking in the area of data journalism. Founded in 2010, the programme is dedicated to accelerating the diffusion and improving the quality of data journalism around the world, whether the focus is on investigations, news applications, putting news into context, or simply using data to inform and assist journalistic work.

Indian data journalist Sanjit Oberai, in his piece on this webzine writes “Data journalism is at a nascent stage in India. There are currently very few websites that are operating in this area, and news organisations still have a long way to go to reach the global benchmark. The good news is that it has picked up and caught the attention of the Indian government, news

organisations, analytics companies, and data visualisation companies.

Data can be used to bring about accountability and transparency among people and that awareness is catching people’s attention. It is also Sanjit Oberai fast becoming an important part of the armoury of newsrooms in India and plays an important role in multimedia and digital reporting. To find out more about data journalism efforts in India, I spoke with leading data enthusiasts from five start-up initiatives.” (24th February 2017) Data journalism at its best is more reliable than journalism without data. According to Paul Bradshaw of Birmingham City University, “Data can be the source of data journalism, or it can be the tool with which the story is told — or it can be both. Like any source, it should be treated with scepticism; and like any tool, we should be conscious of how it can shape and restrict the stories that are created with it.” https://www.newslaundry.com/ has a separate category on articles focussed on providing data to its readers. In a 2007 article authored jointly by Sandipan Baksi and Aravindhan Nagarajan titled Mob Lynchings in India: A Look at Data and the Story Behind the Numbers you will get to read an amazing article that spills over with research both extensive and intensive to drive home the real truth and more importantly, how this continues to exist mainly because of what they term “the culture of impunity.” There are similar articles on the Rafale scam, on why the drop in civPaul Bradshaw il services vacancies are neither new nor

alarming, and many more.

Ravish Kumar, Senior Executive Editor of NDTV (Hindi) enjoys tremendous popularity and the confidence of millions of viewers who wait for him to open his can of worms because of his data-based investigative reports on scams happening across the country such as in management institutes, education at large, medical care, the doctor-patient ratio and so on,. He is often made a target of attack by rival journalists from other media. Important journalists like him who have a dedicated team employed to do most of the ground research on the field and also from documented research. Intelligently, Ravish keeps away from media hype or unwanted publicity but his fans are beyond counting.

One of his fans, Kavish Dwivedi, Senior Software Engineer and Data Science at Dunzoit, writes: “Only thing I can say is that a person of that calibre and magnitude Ravish Kumar for NDTV has stayed away from unwanted burden inside the company apart from being able to execute his job according to how he wants to. Being a Hindi journalist, he was amongst the first ones in the Indian media to embrace social media at a very personal level.”

So, data journalism is the “in” thing but there are just no short cuts. You must be very honest, objective, non-partisan, accurate to putting forth data and facts and remain committed to your findings, prepared to counter corrections and criticisms which will definitely be an occupational hazard.

HEADLINES THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

By James Maloney Published by: Robinson (2012)

ewpapers are a form of instant history, capturing forever the awe and fascination that great historical events inspire. They are also an intriguing source to return to as they reveal the contemporary view of world-changing events, before it can be shaped by subsequent developments. While newspapers have been around for centuries, it was only when the Industrial Revolution encouraged mass production that newspapers with attention-grabbing banner headlines began to be commonplace. Now that newspapers seem to be in decline, we can look back at the period from the late 19th to early 21st century as the heyday of the newspaper,

rom being tormented by gamblers convinced they see lucky numbers concealed in his cartoons to being mistaken for a Mexican and debarred from attending an invitation dinner on Park Avenue because he is carrying a raincoat to being charged with importing obscene literature into the country because a friend has sent him a copy of Playboy, R.K. Laxman’s experiences could rival the most uncanny adventures of his most enduring creation, the Common Man. In The Tunnel of Time Laxman narrates the story of his life with the same acerbic wit, keen sense of humour and the satirist’s ability to take a whimsical, cock-eyed look at just about anything under the sun that we are so familiar with.

as well as a period in which the world changed beyond recognition. Journalist James Maloney details the stories behind the 100 most momentous headlines, including: Abraham Lincoln Assassinated in 1865. Jack the Ripper (1888). Boer War begins (11 Oct 1899). Russian Revolution (1917). Wall Street Crashes in 1929.

Hitler Sweeps to Power' in 1933. Britain declares war with Germany 3 Sept 1939).

Japan declares war on US/ Attack on Pearl Harbor (7 December 1941). Communist China founded by Mao Tse-tung (1 October 1949). Watson and Crick discover DNA structure (1953). Cuban missile crisis (1962). J.F. Kennedy Assassinated (22 Nov 1963). First man on the moon/Apollo 11 (21 July 1969). Scientists identify AIDS (1981). Chernobyl (April 26 1986). Mandela (age 75) freed from jail (1990).
