| Research highlights Pak media propaganda in J&K since 1947 | | | Sports Reporter
JAMMU, Aug 1: Eminent journalist-cum-broadcaster, Rajesh Bhat has been awarded degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) by University of Jammu (JU) for undertaking prestigious media related research work guarding the cultural and strategic interests of the country.
Presently posted at the office of CEO, Prasar Bharati Secretariat New Delhi, Bhat has also remained associated with many English dailies, including `Excelsior' and the `Tribune'.
His research work, on 'Strategic Interest and Media'' with an emphasis on the role of Radio Kashmir, was accomplished under the supervision of Dr Mohd Monir Alam of the Department of Strategic and Regional Studies, JU.
Bhat's unexplored doctoral work discusses in detail Pakistani media propaganda in Jammu and Kashmir during the full-fledged wars of 1947, 1965, 1971 and Kargil intrusion of 1999 besides ongoing proxy war launched in 1989.
The study focuses on the media contingency plan and counter propaganda, the preparedness of India and State of Jammu and Kashmir in the event of any crisis and how radio can reach masses with correct information when already a number of private media channels - both in India and Pakistan were in the race to twist and tarnish facts.
The study sees Pakistani media as a threat not only in Jammu and Kashmir but to other States as well like Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat where the same modus operandi is being adopted in rousing anti-India sentiments.
It cautions against the nefarious designs of Pakistani intelligence agencies that have broadened the coverage area of their Government-controlled media aimed at targeting Indian cities like New Delhi, Jaipur, Kanpur, Bikaner, Ambala, Saharanpur, Meerut, Aligarh, Farrukhabad and a part of Nepal.
The study apprehends the same kind of media propaganda against India by China in Ladakh division of Jammu and Kashmir and recommends a proper contingency plan to deal with Chinese media as well which was clearly heard and viewed in parts of Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh and other North-Eastern states.
The research at the same time assesses certain ways and measures which can help in bringing closer these two nations, since India and Pakistan have the same cultural lineage and radio and television being rich cultural organizations with a mass base, can aptly help in re-defining the future relationship between India and Pakistan. |
