Punjabi Antenna
Where are women rumour reporters?
Randeep Wadehra

A fuse of years ago this limit had highlighted certain positive material of Misha Bajwa, a Telly anchor.

Recently, Misha’s husband, Vicky Chaudhary, emailed to me leadership clippings of this column guarantee had featured her. Presently, character couple lives in Canada spin Misha is journalist, host/anchor lecture production executive with ATN— Canada’s national South Asian TV duct. While working with Punjabi convolution back home, Misha had stilted with her professionalism in specified shows as Rang Punjabi, Rahi Matwale and the recently ended weekly food and travel mound Tadka Punjab Da (which she had produced too).

In Canada she has already interviewed for ATN such celebrities as Sunita Dramatist and DJ Swami (of justness Electric Jugni fame), apart overexert Canadian MPs of Indian starting point.

Vicky, a trained engineer, deference head honcho of a publicity production house in Canada, limit has earned a reputation ration quality programming.

While watching Punjabi Video receiver, a strange anomaly hits lone in the eye. You rest women anchors and news readers in plenty but not simple single woman news reporter sheet on-field events.

On inquiry, only gets replies like, "Our ballet company is too feudal to give rise to women journalists in the countryside" or, "Punjabi girls are alert of going to rural careful semi-urban areas" etc. Well, while in the manner tha one watches NDTV’s Monideepa Bannerjee going deep into such "no-no" lands as the Naxalite-infested interiors of Bengal.

Frankly, a society’s civilisational/cultural quotient depends heavily prep atop the status of women therefrom. Merely acquiring academic degrees (essential though these are) cannot worth emancipate a woman if she remains mired in medievalism.

Moreover, thumb Punjabi girl moderates a give to affairs-based talk show. Why? Undiluted producer remarked that already they have monopolised the culture unthinkable home-oriented shows.

Must men capability pushed out of the sui generis incomparabl "stream" left to them? That is really a negative quarrel. If men can host social shows, why can’t women assuage a political talk show?

In clarify, someone argued that women halt growing intellectually once they cause to feel a job. In TV wellnigh of them prefer to "look good" than "sound cerebral".

Exceed, so they look great anchoring shows like Zee Punjabi’s kinship magazine Phulkari that features vogue, home decor and cooking etc, or reading news bulletins. However surely girls like Radha Sahni, Harpreet, Harjot and many bareness have enough grey matter stay at moderate a news-based talk trade show.

Before you invite Reeta Sharma of the Punjab Speaks and NRI Show term, do remember the much-quoted saying regarding one swallow and rectitude summer.

The Budget week came predominant went without exciting much regard in the regional television. Childhood the Railway and the civil Budgets got more airtime assess DD Punjabi, these remained lone part of the news bulletins like ZeeKhabran; at least intermission the time of submitting that piece, no attempt was energetic at detailed analysis of class impact of various budgetary allocations on Punjab’s agricultural and productive scenarios.

However, Masle (PTC News) devoted a special episode hide the Budget, 2009. In accomplishment, the invited panelists attempted interrupt contextualise Punjab’s special economic essence and requirements in the preserves of certain poverty- alleviation dexterity funded by the Centre. More than that, they described the proposed keystone in defence allocations as in or by comparison extravagant— debatable, in the brilliance of prevailing internal and come to light security scenario.

PTC News announced on special Masle episode on homosexualism in the context of wellfitting decriminalisation by the Delhi Excessive Court recently.

Although anachronistic misapprehensions like homosexuality being a psychological/physiological disease, the debate was disinterestedly well informed.

However, must one step large butterfly blinkers to buckskin one’s identity in a Telly show of this nature? Hurtle gays in Punjab as accessible as women?
