Talk:Rajat Sharma/Archive 1

Very poor article
I recommend that this article be either deleted or rewritten. It's tone is somewhat offensive, sarcastic and definitely not neutral.Naumz (talk) 08:33, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

कुलाबा संक्रमण शिबिरातील रहिवाशी ३३ वर्षापासुन संक्रमण शिबिरात वास्तव्यात राहत आहेत. पण अजूनही आमची फरफट चालू आहे. जागोजागी कचरा, पाइप फुटून त्यातून पाणी रस्त्यावर साचले आहे. इलेक्ट्रिक कॅबीनचे दरवाजा गायब त्यामुळे वीज चोरीचे प्रमाण वाढले. संक्रमण शिबिरातील घरांमध्ये घुसखोरी झाली आहे. तसेच घरांची अवस्था खूप बिकट आहे. त्या कारणाने लवकरात लवकर आम्हाला अधिकुत रहिवाशांना नवीन घरांचा ताबा द्यावा ही कृपा करावी. तसेच इतर संक्रमण शिबिरा प्रमाणे आम्हाला ३००स्क़ चा गाळा बांधण्यात यावा ह्याचा साठी तुम्ही प्रयत्न करणे ही नम्र विनंती.

Awful article. Needs to be deleted or rewritten completely. Also, primary sources ought to be avoided. WP:WPNOTRS 193.54.67.93 (talk) 07:16, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Redirect?
I think that this article should be redirected to India TV. I realise that there has been a lot of to-ing and fro-ing of late but the guy does not appear to have much going for him in the way of independent notability, and notability is not inherited. The award, by the way, isn't exactly a mainstream thing from what I can make out. It's rather like one of the hundreds of awards in the advertising industry, most of which are not worth recording. - Sitush (talk) 16:51, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Such a large addition would require several, independent, reliable sources, whilst the tone of your proposal is far too promotional, rather than the neutral point of view that Wikipedia articles require. - Arjayay (talk) 11:38, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

proposed content
Rajat Sharma (born 18th February, 1957) is the Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, India TV. He is also the President of The News Broadcasters Association of India (NBA) and Vice President, Strategic Affairs of The Indian Broadcasting Foundation. He is best known for his popular interview based show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ and ‘Aaj Ki Baat’ the 9pm prime time news bulletin from Monday – Friday.

Early life

He was born in a family with very limited means. He had to share a 10x10 feet room with his 6 brothers and one sister. Life was a constant struggle. There was no electricity and no running water. He studied at a nearby municipal school. According to Rajat Sharma, since they had no electricity, he would often study at night underneath a lamp post at the nearby railway station in Sabzi Mandi.

Education

After having completed his schooling, he got admission at Delhi’s prestigious Shriram College of Commerce (SRCC) from where he graduated with a B.Com degree. It was in college he met Arun Jaitley, India’s current Finance and I&B Minister. A bond was formed and till date hasn’t been broken. Jaitley who was his senior introduced him to student politics. This was way back in the 1970s when the anti establishment spirit was at its height. And when Emergency was imposed, he spent 11 months in Tihar Jail. Finally in 1977 when Indira Gandhi lost the elections, Rajat Sharma was elected the General Secretary in the Delhi University Student’s Union (DUSU) elections. Vijay Goel, the current Rajya Sabha MP was elected President of DUSU.

Career

After having completed his M.Com, he was hired as a researcher by Janardan Thakur, a revered journalist who had just quit Ananda Bazar Patrika to start a new syndicate column. Subsequently he joined the Onlooker Magazine as a trainee and then went on to become its Editor in 1985. By this time Rajat Sharma had shifted base to Mumbai. After having spent three years at Onlooker, he joined Sunday Observer as an editor and later on The Daily again as the editor. It was in 1992 that he bumped into Zee TV’s Subhash Chandra during a flight to Delhi and it was in the midst of a casual conversation that the concept of Aap Ki Adalat took shape. The TV industry in those days was in a very nascent stage and Chandra immediately realized the immense potential of such a show. It was in 1993 that the first episode of Aap Ki Adalat was shot for Zee with Lalu Yadav, the then Chief Minister of Bihar. From being just another Editor, the show catapulted Sharma to starry heights. Rajat Sharma has interviewed more than 750 guests on his show and recently Aap Ki Adalat celebrated 21 years of broadcast thereby making it the longest running show in India’s television history. It was a grand event that was graced by the President and PM along with the Three Khans of Bollywood — Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir apart from Senior leaders from the political fraternity, top industry voices, eminent social activists besides of course all those who had appeared as guests on the show.

Infact at the event Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded Sharma on his art of interviewing people in his inimitable style. He said "in the 21 years of this show, nobody has been forced to reply, Rajat knows the art of extracting a reply through his sweet questioning. Another big quality of Rajat is that he uses his tongue sparingly in his show, but he uses his heart to the fullest. A clever mind works behind this.”

At Zee, under his leadership, history was created when India’s first private television news bulletin was launched in 1995. In 1997, he and along with his wife Ms Ritu Dhawan, currently the MD and CEO of India TV, set up their own production house - Independent News Service (INS), the parent company which owns India TV and Aap Ki Adalat then shifted to Star Plus and was renamed as Janata Ki Adalat. Finally it was in 2004 when Rajat Sharma decided to launch an independent channel, that Aap Ki Adalat shifted to India TV. It had started off as a hard news channel. He had Maneka Gandhi on board for issues on wildlife, Tarun Tejpal for investigative journalism and Madhu Kishwar for women related issues. The channel was viewed as an ‘ideal’ channel but unfortunately had no takers and was incurring huge losses. It almost finished him. In 2007, as a last throw of the dice, he moved away from serious news and the channel started airing shows with supernatural or crime themes that were hugely popular in the Hindi belt. This gamble paid off and soon India TV started grabbing the eyeballs and became the No.1 channel. In 2009 Rajat Sharma decided that he had had enough of the supernatural and started to steer the channel towards more serious stuff.

India TV today is one of most watched Hindi news channels and the channel’s prime time flagship show that Sharma anchors every day at 9pm from Monday - Friday has been topping the TRP charts week after week.

Today Rajat Sharma is happy that he no longer has to make compromises to reach the top but appears genuinely surprised at the channel’s success.
