Hypocrite Indian Media and the so-called Intellectuals

Its really amazing how hypocrisy in on play in India - the Amarnath Shrine land issue has blown out of control in the last few weeks. there have been deaths, injuries and in general disruptions in the day to day lives of the people of Jammu, India. The sitaution is really getting worse in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, with curfews getting imposed in different places. i find it really amusing to see some of the news channels lambast the hindu dominated parties and organizations for creating disturbances and destroying the social fabric of this country. The trouble is, no one seems to remember the beginning of this issue, most of us have forgotten the violent agitations that took place in the muslim - dominated Kashmir valley that finally forced the J&K govt to go back on its decision for granting land to the Amarnath shrine board.

I also wonder, where were people like Arundhati Roy, Teesta Seetalvad and Barkha Dutt when people in Kashmir valley went on a rampage and threatened the lives of our soldiers posted in the region to fight the foriegn terrorists. what disappoints me that these very names become vocal at any small instance involving some wrong doing by Hindus - big time double standard.

Well, so far the majority section (Hindus) have been taking everything coolly and have shown tremendous maturity but god forbid, the constant insults by the intellectuals and step - motherly treatment by the Indian govt might blow the fuse.......
