You can instinctively feel she is a remarkable woman; but I also got the feeling she has some more distance to go to touch saintly greatness. She did not seem as peaceful as a person like Pakajaksha Kurup Sir, one person in our acquaintance whom I consider saintly.P.

H...Arun, I read the link you sent me only just now. How shocking the story! Poverty is the biggest crime. The aged should be taken care of by the State. The poor come very low in the list of priorities for the rich who draw up the plans for the nation's (and their own) progress. Good journalism is in stories like this. When everything else falls into place, such stories can change policies and make a difference.P.

I have kept so much out of this piece...Thanks Arun. I have kept so much out of this piece that it is just a synopsis of what one could have written about the media interaction with Dayabai. We journalists asked her questions such as whether she accepted funding for her social work, what did she think of the church establishment, what prompted her to leave the convent, did she plan to expand her social work to areas affected by naxalism, did she expect any new recognitions coming her way and whether she had any plan to start social work in the tribal areas of her home state. These are the levels at which the media and its audience move. I too used to be there in the earlier years of my career. But it is very easy to break out of the cynical attitude. We must give it a try, because, suddently a difference happens.P.

I wish the media in the country get more and more ‘prey-friendly’, may be quite naïve to have such a point of view since most of them have separate agendas, and, often are a part of the corporate groups with vested interests. The outrage against Arundhati Roy by every middleclass Indian itself is a proof that how negligent the haves are about the plights of the have-nots in the country. <br /><br /><br />http://www.tehelka.com/story_main47.asp?filename=Ne201110Maariyamma.aspArun Meethale Chirakkalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647424169250887847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026229989382717845.post-72261642338273122832010-11-21T22:39:59.762+05:302010-11-21T22:39:59.762+05:30Balan, she had spoken of that also, about Naxalism...Balan, she had spoken of that also, about Naxalism and Maoism. Within the limited space I could place the story, I could not bring in the full dimension of her vision. What she said was that, though she did not subscribe to that path, the reasons for extremism should be gone deeply into. It was up to the government and the 'enlightened' establishment to approach it with sensitivity, she said. She indeed is a remarkable lady. I felt like touching her her feet.P.

I would've liked to hear from her more on the plight of Gonds and other tribals in the area in the wake of issues such as mining and Maoism. It is high time the media came out with the Maoist's side of the story.Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.com
