Doordarshan may be the national broadcaster but it has been facing a severe crisis of credibility over the past several years. The national broadcaster has been facing several controversies including allegations of corruption in the Commonwealth Games telecast rights allocation deal.
When it comes to broadcast of important national and international its presenters have repeatedly proven to be out of touch with the present, the past as well as the culture of the country. Though they continue to attribute several things to India's rich cultural heritage.
A presenter during the live telecast of President Obama's visit to national capital attributed the famous couplet "kaun jaye Zauq ye dilli ki galiyan chod kar" to Ghalib rather than its original writer Zauq. The presenters on the national broadcaster should try and prepare a script if they want to quote or attribute something from our rich cultural heritage, rather than attributing it to the wrong person.
This is the worst form of beizzati that a poet can expect.
