Dear Kris Iyer, thanks for highlighting these lesser-known facts.
What else do you expect from a newspaper headed by a car-holding Marxist known for his 5-star lifestyle. The Hindu is infested with rabid Maoists anti-national elements fostered in Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi, Madras Institute of Developmental Studies, Chennai, aligarh Muslim University and of course Jamia Milia.
They shamelessly supported Indira's emergency which made the then I&B Minister Advaniji to comment, "if they were asked to bend, they crawled!"
And then you had a half-baked half-Danish columnist (Gail Omvedt) who had the gumption to call the Vedas as a pornographic compilation.
The Hindu proudly proclaims in its masthead as 'India's national newspaper'. It is certainly the national newspaper, not of India, but Pakistan!
