Editorials are of no use.

Who needs to enrich their views -those who are educated and well read or those who are still uncanny in their behavior and need to be reformed?
I suppose latter is the correct answer.
Educated class reads English newspaper , spends time in good company,knows what is wrong and which path will lead to a enlightened society .These people generally have all what is needed to lead a happy and secure life.As the saying goes "The more you have,the more you are occupied,the more you are occupied ,the less you give", similarly this bunch of self satisfied people will not offer anything to this ailing country save for lip service.
Complacency is our enemy but we are so badly wrapped up in the cocoon of lethargy that now not even a crane (machine) can pull us out of it.
So it is a waste of talent of Sunday columnists ,in fact all columnists who write throughout the week, that they write in some English newspaper.
They should write in Hindi or any other regional language because reforms can be brought about only by those who need it not by someone who will be least benefited or might even lose some privileges when the mala fides will come to a grinding halt .Moreover , i think complacency leaves very less room for selflessness.
Changes can be brought about only when what you want is what you really need and no Hitler will ever want to establish rule of Jews.
When downtrodden get angry they vent their ire by creating mayhem on roads ,damaging property because they do not know the solution to the problem they are facing.
So these well read and knowledgeable editors should spill the beans of their knowledge where it is most needed and these needy i do not think read English newspaper or listen chat shows broadcasted in English. Those who watch these shows just watch it to forget the daylong fatigue.
How many good reporters and editors are from Hindi media??
Bharka Dutt,Rajdeep Sardesai,Sashi Tharoor,Swaminathan Anklesaria,Jug Suriya,Chidanand Rajghatta ,all report and write in English.
Have we ever seen protest march in which protesters are blue collared people.?
Have we ever noticed educated class engaging themselves in riots?
No.
So all editors should take a cue from this and should start writing for regional newspapers.
