Shame on Indian Media, which is playing at the hands of few powerful man in congress who are sponsoring it.
Tarun Tejpal Could you answer one simple question - what was your motive of this sting operation, why you could not carry a sting operating for the people who were burnt in the coaches, why you could not carry a sting operation for 1984 riots which was led by congress leader.
your motive is clear - you people are anti majority, you people want to see only one side of coin, and thanks to you people - you are giving us - the mighty hindus a cause to unite again and a force to reckon with.

It is the duty of press to expose reality. In that sense it has duty as big as anyone else. Press is a cornerstone of democracy unless you do not believe in it. Look at the message not the messenger. Guilty people shoot the messenger.

All said and done, it didn't answer the question which Vajpayee asked in Goa, "Aag lagayi kisne? Aag faily kaise?"
I am sure Vajpayee had the answer to this question, as much as influential people in the 4th estate. He had reasons to be confident that none of the national or international media, be it Tehelka or BBC or Iran Daily or Haaretz, will ever gather the guts to spill out the truth in next few decades.
To get an idea about what really inspires India's Klu Klux Klan, what works behind Parliament attack or Godhra train burning, we need to know what their ideological forefathers did -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Tejpal should also have carried out a sting operation to expose the culprits behind the Bombay riots of 1992 and 1993 when innocent Hindus were killed by Muslims mostly immigrant Bangla deshis. What is he trying to prove? who massacred the innocent pilgrims in the train at Godra? Unless they are paid by the same coins they do not understand.

Of-course it is the duty of the press to expose the reality, but at the same time this exposure must not be biased and spread a right message to people.
I am sure, if our media (specially TV Chnls) do not act responsibly, they will soon loose their credibility.
With this kind of exposure, what the people of Gujrat will understand and how this will change the political scenario there, will be known to all in times to come.
