I was really shocked to read about the ignorant attitude of the so called high class people in the tsunami affected villages. Eventhough it is disgusting to see their attitude, I urge the writers not to insinuate any ill-will between the communities, because the people already have a lot on their hands right now.
I am sure we will have time for retrospect later. Also, if this brings about a change in the attitude of the people(am sure thats what the idea behind the article is) then it is wonderful. But I doubt if we have enough time to bring about changes in people now.
I wish to take this opportunity to state my admiration for all the wonderful work carried on by the people. I am touched by the strength and unity shown by different people to come together to help each other in such a situation.
I hope and pray we recover from this horrible disaster as better persons.
Dear Editor, The author seems to be most busy with infuriating caste bias and trying to moot hatred in a place which is already seeing a lot of malice. It would be better if he stops just from acknowledging those who come to help rather than those who stay in their houses either from fear of an epidemic or to not bother the already crowded relief efforts, these things should also be given due credence. If the author has any good intenstions left it will be better if he stops writing such biasing statements, he should well know that he is living in 21st century and such statements could only be taken as an underdeveloped reporters anguish for promotions and to chrun out more news. Will he take that same statement if we say that the article by an northindian reporter to moot a caste discrimination marathon in a peaceful south indian state?.
