5 Years On: Scarred and scared
by VG on Sep 12, 2006 12:24 AM   Permalink

It's been really frustating and sometimes irritating over the past 5 years to see how the Indian media reacted to what happened in New York on 11/9. Agreed it's an inhuman and barbaric act but it's really disappointing to see the media reacting as though it's more of India's pain than America's. Be it TV: more so the increasingly irritating Indian TV news channels, newspapers, also Internet sites like even Rediff, everybody is just too exicited and feeling more pain just because it's American. The Americans continue to insult Indians at their airports and other places but we never give up feeling compassionate towards Americans. It can't be more embarassing than watching an Indian MP, a state's chief secretary and a DGP attending America's private function and standing shamelessly next to the American flag. God damn when will the time come when we all Indian realise and start respecting our identity; valueing our self-respect.
