I partially agree with the author
by Krishnamraju Kurra on Jan 06, 2006 11:36 PM

I have felt several times when I read articles on bbc.com or cnn.com (and some other sites) that things happening in India are presented in a negative sense and things happening elsewhere (Pakistan for example) are presented in a positive sense. May be I feel this way because; I am an Indian and am sentimental about such things. For example I felt that the rescue work for the J&K earthquake victims in Pakistan was given positive coverage and that in India was given negative coverage (at least in the initial period, for sure). After that I think they had nothing to write negative about the rescue work because rescue work was much better and faster on our side of the border. Of course we cannot over look the fact that the damage was much larger on the other side of the border. In the general sense I think the author is rightly concerned about the way the English media in India presents news about India and rest of the world. I also think there is a chance that the authors views like my views are partial and sentimental. I guess a non-partial third party would be able to pass better judgment or comments on this issue.
