Based in New Delhi, Arfa Khanum Sherwani is an experienced journalist and the newly-elected Senior Vice President of the Aligarh Muslim University Old Boys’ Association. In this interview with Yoginder Sikand, she talks about Indian Muslims and the media.
Q: Could you tell us something about your background?
A: I was born in 1980, in Khurja, a small town in western Uttar Pradesh. I studied there till the twelfth standard, did my Bachelor’s degree in Science from CCS University, Meerut, and then a diploma in journalism from the Aligarh Muslim University. Thereafter, in 2000, I came to Delhi, where I interned with the Pioneer, then worked briefly with the Asian Age as a trainee sub-editor, as a production executive with Sahara TV, and then, in 2003, I joined NDTV as principal correspondent and news anchor. I worked with NDTV for several years, covering foreign and minority affairs. Presently, I am an independent producer and freelance journalist, writing for some leading English and Hindi papers. I am also doing a Ph.D. from the Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, working on a comparative study of Dalits and Muslims in the Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh.
Q: Muslims often allege that the media (and here they tend to generalize) is wholly biased against them. As a Muslim woman, did you face any sort of discrimination while working in what were non-Muslim-owned media houses?
A: No, I was not made to feel different or uncomfortable at all, except sometimes, when discussions in the office would turn to issues related to Muslims such as terrorism or debates about inclusive policies, or an absurd fatwa, when suddenly I would be made to answer on behalf of the clerics who had issued such fatwas. But that was only very occasionally, as when a maulvi had passed a fatwa insisting that all Muslim women should cover-up completely and colleagues would joke that the next day I might come to the office fully veiled. On such occasions, I was expected to take a clear stand, to defend or to disassociate myself from such Muslim practices. But, on the whole, I must say that I was never made to feel as the ‘other’. Rather, I felt very much included and part of the team. Maybe I was just lucky not to have experienced much discrimination and gaining access to work opportunities. I cannot speak for other Muslim journalists and their experiences, though, which may be different. But I think it is safe to say that while discrimination against Muslims in the media is not something that can be called ‘organised’ or ‘institutionalised’, there are certainly some reporting beats where Muslim journalists have to be extremely cautious while reporting. They are supposed to take the same line as dictated to them, and can only speak their minds at the risk of being branded or being labeled as ‘Muslim journalists’. This is particularly so with regard to such issues as terrorism, minority affairs or Pakistan.
I must also say that the media—and here I do not mean that section of the media, especially the vernacular media, which is heavily pro-Hindutva—is quite receptive to employing qualified Muslims if they come to them seeking jobs. I have not heard of any qualified and capable Muslim being refused employment simply because he or she was a Muslim. I can confidently state that at least those sections of the media that I have worked with are quite inclusive of Muslims and are not characterized by a deep-rooted or conscious anti-Muslim bias. Muslim employees in this section of the media are treated in almost the same way as their non-Muslim counterparts. But there have also been cases where Muslim job candidates have been asked weird questions about their religion and community. And there is also the fact that in order to get the same job and the same opportunities, a Muslim has to prove himself or herself more capable than a non-Muslim would need to.
It is crucial to recognize that the media is not a homogenous body, so the experiences of Muslims working in different media houses may be vastly different. It can vary from person to person. At least as far as the section of the media in which I have worked are concerned, I, for one, do not buy the argument that the media is inherently anti-Muslim or is engaged in a ‘conspiracy’ against Islam, as some Muslims allege. If that were true, then Shah Faisal, the topper of this year’s civil service examinations, would not have been in the headlines. Nor would Shahrukh Khan or Sania Mirza (before her marriage) have got such media coverage. It is an undeniable fact that the media has actually helped create icons out of some Muslims. It is also important to realize that, like every other industry, the media is also driven by market forces, and therefore shares both their negative as well as their positive features. By creating icons, it becomes easier for marketing gurus to sell products and generate revenues.
That said, there are certain unwritten lines or ideological barriers in the media that one cannot cross. One has to completely follow these rules if one wants to retain one’s job. So, for instance, you cannot openly take a stand and question whether or not a particular person, who happens to be a Muslim, is really a terrorist as your media house alleges him to be. Or, for instance, if your channel is vociferously anti-Pakistani, you cannot afford to plead for a rational discussion on Indo-Pak relations. I don’t think this sort of implicit control, including on issues related to Muslims, were that evident two decades ago. Today, things have been made much more complicated with a sizeable number of journalists now sharing the Hindutva worldview and supporting Hindutva politics.
Q: You mentioned that you covered minority—which is, essentially, Muslim—issues for NDTV. You also write about Muslim-related issues. Was it the case that because you are a Muslim you were expected to write about Muslims? Is that also not a sort of stereotyping?
A: Often, Muslim journalists in mainstream media houses are given the task of writing about Muslim issues because they are expected to know more about these matters. Also, sometimes bosses feel that Muslim-related matters are simply too sensitive for a non-Muslim journalist, who has little or no knowledge of Muslim affairs, to carefully and properly handle. I think we need to see this attitude as a positive thing.
On the other hand, it can also be somewhat stifling and restrictive. Firstly, readers or viewers might doubt the veracity of what a Muslim journalist writes or speaks about Muslim-related issues, supposing her or him to be biased or emotionally involved, as a Muslim, in these issues and hence lacking in objectivity.
Then, one faces the problem of being identified as a ‘Muslim journalist’, rather than just a journalist plain and simple, whose Muslim-ness is simply incidental or of no importance in his or her professional life. In this way, you tend to get bracketed, segmented and separated from the rest of your colleagues. Your scope is then immensely narrowed down, and people begin to raise questions about your very objectivity in covering Muslim issues just because you are a Muslim.
