Teesta Setalvad gets an award? I have to laugh real hard now. The GOI sends a loud and clear message - attack hindus and hinduism, and support terrorists, and you can get an award. I'm surprised that they haven't awarded Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein (posthumously), Ottavio Quattrocchi (Sonia's freind, who helped to smuggle her personal wealth out of the country), Head of Pakistan's ISI who regularly engineers terrorist activities in India, etc. They must be all very deeply disappointed. Better luck to them next time.
In a way, I'm glad that India's brilliant scientists, who have done wonders for the country, have not received these awards, because it would be humiliating for them to share the same platform with India's trash like Setalvad and other gasbags.
