Hats off to rediff.com for publishing articles regarding the above which may also be critical of the media.I have sent various messages to the major newspapers of India which have mentioned the veritable dereliction of duty in not informing the masses about the dangers of appeasing China but because they are critical of the lapse in this regard on their part the editorial staff are hypersensitive about this aspect and my messages have never seen the light of day!I reiterate that it is the media's duty to inform the populace at large about the eventual danger to India in appeasing China.Again, the media is more interested in highlighting the activities of film stars akin to Nero playing the fiddle while Rome was burning.Youth of India become more interested in your honour in defending your country rather than showing an inordinate interest in designer clothes.R.M.
