The synopsis above presents a overview of how CBC keeps the flame of Hindu Bashing alive. In their idea of reporting, an average Hindu is a demonic person who not only has to be tarnished in the most sinister manner but also denied a opportunity to have his say!

Both articles have succeeded in presenting not so favorable picture of Hindus. I am not writing here to ask you to present a favorable stories on the subject of Hinduism and India. You have your prerogative to decide on what you report. The concern here is the missing Hindu perspective. In our two years of communication we discussed extensively on the need of a Hindu perspective, meaning presenting both sides of a story!! The words of your former Editor in chief in his letter to us that you all (except Ms.Nancy Waugh) were privy to was, ” We hear you and all CBC editors are being sensitized to Hindu concerns and perspective”
 
But in both the references above, when the subject is about Hindus, Caste, Hindu goddesses, & Hindu religion why did your reporters failed to take a authentic Hindu perspective?
 
For two full years your top management team has assured us that you acknowledge the “missing Hindu perspective” in CBC reporting and it will be corrected. In fact in a zoom meet with you all (except Nancy Waugh) you promised that “Hindu concerns have been heard” and all editors of CBC will be alerted to it. The above two reports that followed does not have the Hindu perspective. Clearly you have back tracked on your assurances.
 
In both the above referenced articles, the bare bones research and laid back reporting of your journalists, have presented enough evidence to us to challenge you to a defensive position on the above two articles. (now do not resort to erasing evidence as you did with earlier on the radio posts maligning Hindus, when cornered! https://dwarapalakas.ca/erasing-evidence-at-cbc/) We will write to you separately challenging you on the above two articles later.
 
But for now Kindly provide evidence that CBC editors across all formats, TV, Radio, Print, & Social media wings of CBC have gone through “sensitivity training on Hindu the missing Hindu perspective in CBC”

Good Day and kindly refer to this article link

Please refer to this section of her reporting,

We invite you to review this article that answers that question.

https://scroll.in/article/749897/forget-ftii-this-is-why-some-students-stay-for-over-a-decade-at-educational-institutions

Fyi there are multiple reports that confirm that Jawaharlal Nehru University is a gravy train for many a politically motivated student. Many a student pay less than 10 $ per month that includes food and lodging. That free boarding provides a platform for STUDENT political activism for decades. The question to Toronto star, is how can it let its Journalists to publish articles without basic research? Now should we go into what kind of research went into her awards?

Why would your journalist indulge in such perilous writing? We question her motivation to slur Hindus on a sensitive subject like this. Is she under the impression that Indians in GTA are illiterate or perhaps no one would scrutiny her work? Want to ask you if you report both sides of any story. Does your Journalistic standards include terms like unbiased and both sides of a story? Challenge me by providing references to that effect on stories about India / Hindus.

The fact that your reporter Shree Paradkar was insensitive to the Killings of Hindus in Kashmir was well, insensitive on her part. But perhaps to give her the benefit of doubt, I see that she is a young journalist and is yet to understand the depth of pain behind this article she wrote. Makes me raise the natural question, Are you free newspaper that has the liberty to speak the truth? Or are you tied down by factors that restrict your scope of writing?

If I ask you to take into the Hindu perspective on any reporting that involves Hindus will that offend you? Would you hesitate to take the initiative to reach out to us for a factual response, free of bias or emotion?
For now kindly let me know how you intend to cover this biased report that generates Hindu Phobia in GTA!!

In Feb 2021, we wrote to CBC on biased reporting against Hindus of Canada, and presented the following 4 instances of reporting as evidence.

https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1705145411983
https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1703344195892
https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1658577475790
https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1706600003891

Why would CBC delete all those links? Its a 404 Now. surely points out to erasing evidence of their bias against Hindus?

We thank the federation of Hindu temples of Canada in our quest for fair journalism in Canada. The president of Hindu federation Shri Roopnauth Sharma demonstrated the finest of Dharma traditions in wording the letter in a most Dharmic manner. Let’s wait for the response of CBC!

Hindu concerns have been acknowledged by CBC in a video meet, but not resolved yet!!

This letter was sent out to all publicly listed Journalists of Globe & Mail

We introduce ourselves a Hindu advocacy, not for Profit organization in Canada. We take pride in representing a community that despite negative image, have demonstrated nonviolent, peaceful, and assimilating nature. We believe that is the language of civility.

We are writing to you regarding a series of reporting by Globe & Mail since 2013 and it continues to this day. We are referring to Ms. Stephanie Nolen. Her “breaking caste” series clearly sounds like a tacit support for evangelical driven journalistic agenda. In one of her articles, she came up with this fascinating line, “That evangelists help India to work for righteous anger”. May we ask, as to what would the act of triggering anger on the soil of another country be called? However, camouflaged it is, it is encouraging violence and the goal seems to be achieved as we are seeing that violence in the minds of born again’s of India on the streets of India.

Her route to journalistic glory is the “welfare of Dalits”. She highlights the issues of Dalits and connects their “troubles” to the most popular socio-religio-political currency in nailing Hindus of India “caste”!! And proceeds to deliver the blame on Hindu religion, while ignoring the British or Portuguese History that played a huge role in perpetuating it. And her solution for their troubles is embracing evangelistic targets.

India has been groaning and barely recovering from 300 years of British and Portuguese. History surely tells that they did not work in the best interests of India. They actively worked to undermine the educational and social structure of the country. Despite that, Indian intellect has self nourished itself and we see highly educated, hard working and intelligent Hindus, the best of whom Canada has welcomed.

Ms.Nolen, with a few strokes of her pen has put the entire Hindu religion under scanner. This has negatively impacted the perception of Hindus of Canada. We did not immigrate to nations that have a poor record of Journalistic ethics. We came to Canada for the sense of fairness that this great nation offers. And for Stephanie Nolen,to bring that politics of negativity to our doorsteps in Canada and mask it under the guise of Journalistic achievement is appalling.

That has impacted Hindus of Canada, quite bad. It took us 7 years for us to come out of that trauma to pen this letter. With help from experts and extensive internal discipline, we are now successful in writing this letter without falling to her trap of “triggering righteous anger” On a corollary note, we can say that with a baggage of residential schools and injustice towards natives of Canada, she does not get to preach to India or Hindus. White saviour ship cannot be an escape from that baggage.

Your website does not seem to have an ethics dept or ombudsman we can write to. Hence compelled to send this to all contacts at Globe and Mail. Requesting the receivers of this mail to forward it to the right person. We do believe that despite Ms. Nolen there are still souls in Globe and mail, who believe in fairness and inclusive reporting. It is only fair that we expect the good souls to respond. This anomaly created by her on your pages should be balanced out. It’s been a wound for too long.

Otherwise, we do believe that she is fine person, hard working and intelligent.

This was the title and reporting by CBC. The author linked the rise in covid cases of Maharastra and Kerala to the Hindu festival of Kumbh mela happening in a totally different state of India, UP.
 

 
Now let us study its impact on the readers minds,

 

 
This was our mail to CBC
 
Looks like your new appointee based at Mumbai has started her “job” and our previous concerns to selective reportage by CBC are mounting.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/india-covid-19-immunity-1.5947454
 
If CBC or their associates followed the events in India since Covid-19 started, they would know the mass gatherings of Tablighi Jamaat who were officially linked to more than 80% of the corona cases at one time, Farmers protests (ongoing for months), election rallies and countless other occasions where crowds gathered. However, CBC chose to report one event linked to a Hindu Festival, Kumbh Mela. Why CBC is selectively attacking Hinduism? To link all ills of India to its faith? If reporting about violations of Covid rules is the goal why only Kumbh Mela? Please clarify the intent here?
 
Your reporting is guilty of creating a negative image of Hindus and Indians in Canada. Its no longer a passable joke. Been observing CBC for 17 years. There is a need for a radical change in the thinking when it comes to reporting about Hindus.

This was the first of our many correspondence with CBC
 

We refer to your article and its update on CBC FB post as re-produced below.

We have received a e-acknowledgement to the complaint we sent to you from your website on this. (enclosed below) As we have not received any further response from you we are sending this 2nd letter.

1- The news bits inserted into the article was not done with journalistic fairness
2- It presents a incorrect and one -sided aspect of the story, that needs authentication
3- It was not written keeping in mind the pluralistic nature of Canadian society
 
Initial reports tell us that the above report has caused considerable anger with the Hindu community. We are initiating reach out to Hindus of Canada on this report to further assess their response. There is unanimity your article insinuates both character & Culture of Hindus. That article propagates the theory that the onus of responsibility for Violence in Delhi rests on Hindu shoulders only. That speaks of bias, condescending approach and absence of research on the sensitive subject. Your FB page has 2.3 Million likes. You have effectively promoted Hindu Phobia in that many likely minds. It negatively impacts Hindu adults at workplaces and Kids at schools. That is a serious violation of Hindu rights. Canadian Hindus are taxpayers and good Citizens. We draw your attention to “Respect and Absence of Prejudice” section in your Journalistic Standards and Practices page.
 
Before initiating the process of a formal re-course, we wish to enquire,
1- Source of news, with the religion / names of journalists who penned that article.
2- Was CBC misled into publishing that article or was it a deliberate job with hidden agenda?
3- Do you have a vetting process before news is published
4- Do you have a experts team who authorize publications to ensure that news is fair and in sync with high values of democratic processes that makes nations like Canada named as developed?

 
Our contact info is enclosed for you to reach to us to discuss the above sensitive journalistic breach.

For some mysterious reason CBC seems to have succumbed to the victim card and on reporting about India hardly presents any Hindu angle. It ongoing.

This was reported this time by CTV..

Faith in isolation: How Canadians are praying during the coronavirus pandemic

This is our mail to Ms. Meghan Collie who wrote the above article,

Hi Meghan Collie,

A timely article. We notice that Hindu faith has been missed in your report. There are approximately 188 Hindu Temples of Canada. Hindus are over 1/2 a million in strength and have reputation of Honest taxpayers & Citizens. It’s a fair request that the Hindus story also be part of an inclusive Canada in news coverage.

I guess your reporting is nation wide but if have a specific geographical area of reporting we can connect you to the Hindu temple of your choice. Hindu temples of Canada have initiated various reach out programmes to devotees on Covid.

The managements of many Hindu temples are highly educated. They would you be able to provide you the required inputs for your next article on how the Hindu faith is responding to the Covid crises.

If Corona does not discriminate in its task, why would you do so? Trust you would receive this mail with the sense of anguish its written with.

Best Wishes

To
Hubert T. Lacroix
CEO – CBC – Canada,
Respected Mr. Hubert Lacroix,
We bring to your attention concern’s pertaining to CBC reporting on India. We quote the following programmes
– India Reborn
– India’s Daughter &
– The most recent one on the “rebel “attack in Assam
Three concerns:
1- Reporting has been with an objective to sully India’s image in Canada
2- Reporting does not represent the majority of India
3- Reporting does not take into factor stories from all sides to a story
Indian news channels almost always portray Canada in good light on all Telecasts in India. It’s simply not soo Canadian that CBC is doing the opposite! To elucidate our concern we conjure a scenario, “Our team can record The Vancouver drug problem and give it a national broadcast in India” Would that be a fair representation of Canada? We do not think so, but CBC is resorting to that kind of reporting when it comes to India. Goes in search of problems and magnifies it many folds.
You would acknowledge that CBC has very limited access to countries like China. India offers a democratic set up and greater access. People of Indian origin residing in Canada feel that access is being misused each time such reporting appears on TV/Print & Radio medium of CBC.
To the best of our knowledge Indians do not come to Canada with welfare on their minds. They work hard, if necessary go to college again, pay fees from their part-time jobs, graduate, pay for their mortgages and contribute significantly to the tax revenue of Canada.

It is only fair that we ask CBC to respect the sentiments of India and Indians living in Canada. We hope that CBC would factor this in while reporting about India in future.
If you wish us to provide micro details of our concerns we can send you the compiled reports.
Kind Regards
Gopala R.Krishna
