(Nabina Das)<BR/><BR/>"yea true nabina and that breeds resentment against muslims at large and a sense of hurt, insult and injury amongst muslims...crazy!" (Gulnaz Sheikh)<BR/><BR/>"that is quite the trend now in Indian media unfortunately... Muslim infiltrators, marauders, bombers, terrorists or whatever, the media keeps adding to the list, as if in collusion with vested powers... forgetting that we have several unabted crises related to hunger-health-education-envirnment. I could go on with that alternative list..." (Nabina Das)<BR/><BR/>"you guys should visit Gurgaon..to see the extent of the illegal alien(read mulim bangladeshi ) problem..evey maid/rikshaw puller here talks sillhetti/or chatagon language..it is a huge issue..dont just bunk that." (Rana Chatterjee)<BR/><BR/>"rana - 1. the rickshawallahs and maids in gurgaon speak the same language my forefathers did 2. they've come to delhi for the same reasons we go to the u.s., economic (largely). so it's not an issue for me, i don't care if they're illegal immigrants (so are most nepali drivers/guards). i am concerned about the terror angle, but we needn't jump and yell terrorist every time we see an impoverished maidservant in gurgaon." (Shubho Sengupta)<BR/><BR/>"I feel The Independent stand adopted by News Watch is to be Applauded and you have got yourself a staunch supporter in me. <BR/><BR/>NewsMedia nowadays need to color even the Mundane of matters Communal to sell the subject to the Public, what they dont realise is the long term Implication of such kind of Reckless reporting. <BR/><BR/>It Saddens me that each and every news channel I watch has a leaning, Political or Otherwise. I would love to see a Channel/News Paper which reports news for what it truly is and not what News Potential it has. I think such an Idea of mine is lofty and such a Channel/News Paper wont get the coverage of the existing Biased media. Kudos to you guys, You deserve it. <BR/><BR/>Subir, I hope to Equate you with Fisk one day, I really do and wish the day is not far. God Speed to you and your Endeavors" (Ahmed Sidhique)fleuve-souterrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02671460507098082150noreply@blogger.com
