I usually stay away from politics - Mostly because I feel discussing it is a waste of time. However, sometimes, it just cannot be ignored and certain events just have to be discussed, the primary reason being that these events are used time and again to play hate-politics.
Came across this wonderful eye-opening article that is a textbook example of how sensitive topics should be handled - factually.
I warn you that it is long, however, I strongly urge every self-respecting Indian to read it fully and after reading to spread awareness about this. After all what is the point in simply reading stuff just to kill time!

Thanks for putting up the link. Had faintly heard of this one but never saw the article. Even now read only half of it...But you are so right when you say about such things should be reported factually. But in our country every things is means to an end for politicians / media. For former the least said the better and for later i just wish they mature.
A string of sadistic lies. Sad to see the qulaified civil servants like Harsh Mandar cook up stories like this. Sometimes I feel, punishments as severe, as in Gulf countries should be meted out to the guilty here. Was surprised when I saw Arunadhati Roy's refernce in the article,though for other reasons.
Thanks Einstein, for sharing the link.
BTW the labels in your posts are interesting :)
