[Reader-list] Who dominates / owns the Media in India?

[Kshmendra Kaul]

That the Media in India (in part or with overwhelming influence) is dominated by the "upper caste" is not the only opinion about it.
 
Many or most of the List members might have come across two interesting emails that have been circulating for quite some time that claim to tell you the 'real truth' about the Media in India:
 
1. One such Email details for you the ownership of almost all the prominent Indian Media Houses, seeking to establish that it is owned/controlled by either the Leftists or the Islamists or the Christianists.
 
2. The second such Email takes you on a journey of not only the ownership of the Media Houses but also how the prominent personalities in Media, Politics and Bueraucracy are directly  or indirectly related/linked to each other and therefore collectively excercise a vice like grip.
 
What interests me is the references that are made to "upper caste" domination of the Media. It is also sometimes called "Brahmanical domination'.    
 
- Is it the "Brahmanical and/or upper caste domination" of Hindus?
 
- Is this "Brahmanical and/or upper caste domination" just a metaphor that might equally apply to Hindus, Muslims, Christians etc or might apply to Economic Caste Divisions?
