There is a difference between Propoganda & the rediff columns, whih is PURPOSELY kept out. Prpoganda is one ay street, you cannot report or write an opposing view whreas in afree country like India you can, so there is no Gobbels here every on can comment & write what they fel, this is not propoganda. I mean you have a Muslim painter who potrays Hindu Godess in derogatory fashion and there are people like Shahi Taroor, Testa Setalvad, Swapan Dasguptas et all who argue for his right of Expresion. How more open can you get.
