This was strange. I was unable to understand how this all fis-in in that Bachchan-UP campaign. What does all this have to do with that? I am not advocating the Bachchan campaign cause but I find no connection here. As far as sights like these are concerned, as many readers have rightly put here -- you'll find them anywhere in India. In fact this could be the scene out of anywhere in North Indian towns.
In the past I have seen some real good stuff from rediff. But in the bad ones (which kinda, come often now) this ones top of the chart. Bad, bad journalism (if you'd call it that)
