Orphan Yadaiah’s death incident is not so easy one to forget and so are the questions that are emerging from it. The 21-year-old’s job in a restaurant, his hopes for a better tomorrow; his prayers at Yadagiri Gutta; his incapacitated final words, concern about fellow sufferers drawn pity everywhere.
Chronicling info about him erupted after his death has doubled the pain everywhere. His uncle came forward informing that Yadaiah aka Yadagiri used to donate half of his regular income to the blind children in orphanages. A few from his classmates told about his wit and excellence in academics. He purportedly stopped his education after his parents' death and subsequently started working as a photographer in Dilsukhnagar.
On the flipside, Yadaiah’s suicide has become big news to the regional media for wrong reasons.
Even after the incident, the channels vied for airing the ineffective “Stop Suicides” message. The political leaders also lined up for stating such lines, but not focusing on the root cause. Unfortunately, neither politicians nor the media seemed to be playing a fair role during such untoward incidents.
As a whole, the sensitive issue on which the people are fighting is not a mysterious movie to thrill the audience keeping the decision under suspense until the climax. Deploying brutal forces and leaving them onto peaceful protestors on a false basis would be a sheer suppression. None of the politicians could understand the emotions of Yadaiah in flames churning up on the cops in a helpless state. His heading towards the sleuths with fire certainly indicates the retaliation of fury.
Unhealthy competition revved up among the visual media, leading to cheap tactics to gain the market. A couple of them often display themselves to be possessing the utmost interest in the public. Despite strict rulings from the law benches, airing raw footage has become a regular business.
The primary question is about the attempts that were expected from the “humanistic” media representatives to save the young man in the fire on the spot. At that moment, their entire struggle was to just capture the “burning” news and to stand first in telecasting it with a “FIRST ON OUR CHANNEL” label. Effort was put neither by journos nor khakis present there, who later appeared on the screens saying “No Suicides Please”.
