Press/Media should try to understand Tribal God/Goddess.....

While watching "Khooni Talaab ka Khauf" on Aajtak news Channel I realised how little the TV or the print media knows about the local tribal culture and tradition...

Jashpur is a tribal area where the missionaries were successful in converting most of the tribals to christianity....thus their local god and goddess were forgottton...

Until and unless the tribal God/Goddess are pleased ,strange incidents will keep happening...Doing pooja for Hanumanji and Ramji won't help in a Tribal area...

ETV and Sahara also keeps making fun of the Traditional ways to cure certain diseases by the Tribals of Bastar...may be they should study the powers of the tribal God "Lingo Pen"....or go to a "Jatra" where nearby tribals bring their Gods called "Aanga"....may be then only the electronic and print media will give some respect to the Tribal way of life...
