Touche, Monsieur Gautier
by Abhinav Dasgupta on Jan 13, 2008 10:26 PM

I congratulate Francois Gautier on bringing to light an altogether different perspective on the slain leader. However, I am doubtful in connection with his last line: "History will tell". Unfortunately, history is written by the powerful, not the subaltern, and in today's world, the pseudo-secular press that my fellow readers have alluded to is what calls the shots. Bhutto will probably live on in history as what the global press has glorified her as: A Martyr for Democracy.
