Indian English media reaffirms their laserlike devotion to the Congress party

All it took is a week to reveal how objective the Indian english media can be. Exactly a week back,to the day, 2 BJP workers were murdered by Islamic terrorists while taking part in a rally in Doda, J&K. The news barely made it as a PTI snippet to Hindustan Times, hidden somewhere in the deep confines of the web, it was completely blanked out by the TOI, Hindu and Indian Express. Only The Daily Pioneer gave it the attention that it deserved in its Sunday editorial. Cheap Hindu lives, the likes of Shekhar Gupta must have thought, not newsworthy and that too BJP workers at that! Bah, to hell with those, why did they have to rally, surely they brought it upon themselves! This is the same perverse logic that the media used in Godhra, why did those Rama Bhaktas have to go to Ayodhya, surely they brought it upon themselves. Its important for Hindus to be on their best behavior you see, else the Muslims get very angry very quickly. Why the hell don't these damn Hindus understand such basic funda thinks the media. And Shekhar Gupta in particular has personally assured the Pakistanis while visiting there, that it should be left to the press to take care of the BJP. Two less BJP workers would surely make my job easier said a beaming Gupta.

Contrast that with the round the clock updates from the super sleuths of these tabloids, now that people were murdered in a Congress rally in Srinagar. Its replete with possible suspects, motives and investigative reports. In Saudi Arabia, there's a table which how valuable a human life is based on their religion and sex. Surely enough at the bottom of the list are Hindus, Hindu women being at the bottom of the list, with Hindu men barely worth a few hundred more Riyals. The priorities of the editors of the leading English dailies seem to closely resemble the Saudi priorities, with human value being decided by religion and party affiliations, with Hindus and particularly BJP party workers ranking at the bottom. Now the paradox is while these pseudo-secular mafia have Hindu sounding names, they treat other Hindus as trash while grovelling before the minorities mostly for the Muslims and Christians. With such a value sytem (non-muslims are called Dhimmis in the Islamic world meaning their value is at par with trash) is it any wonder that an ex baby sitter runs the country with mere frowns and shrugs? Indians are the easiest people to be ruled by rank outsiders as convincingly demonstrated by the anti-national English media.

Meanwhile home minister Shivraj Patil, has declared that no matter how many innocents are murdered by the Islamic goons, it cannot shake India's resolve to do business with the terrorist state of Pakistan. The "peace process" is irreversible according to the UPA govt, meaning that no force on earth inculding Pakistan can shake it in its resolve to gift away the Kashmir valley. Someone overheard Patil saying with his fist clenched and an iron resolve -- "Bomb daalo ya na daalo hum Kashmir dekar hi rahenge". Pakistan meanwhile senses the Indian resolve in gifting away the valley but keeps up the fireworks just as timely reminders as to the continued implementation of the "peace process".
