thank you bala, thanks you for all that you wrote. these (mostly) delhi-based self-appointed guardians of indian secularism have been given a good thrashing, and god-willing the indian public will keep thrashing them again and again till their tribe disappears and we have objective and truthful journalists and columnists. they will of course cook up their analyses and give us a thousand reasons why it happened this way. i support both your points above and action should be taken on them. can add a couple of more names like arundhati roy, nandita haksar, and some more of their hypocritical ilk whose names i forget. they will all learn, someday!
