No media in India ever try to come up with bold articles like this on any issues like Rediff. Rediff has given the educated Indians chance and opportunity to express what we feel about it and I do see that we educated Indians raising our voices more often through blogs. Yes, some people are not happy and they often make comments about the veracity of the subject. It may not be true 100 percent all the time but what we need is awareness. There may be other electronic media which is more efficient than rediff but nothing has given us more choice than rediff. Also, they are very candid and upright when talk about the terrorism. in this world of pseudo secularism, rediff is definitely a thing to look at.

You see, the problem is that in India, while Christians and Muslims can express their voice against Hindus, it is not vice versa...
There are many political parties who openly support Muslims and Christians and they are ruling the country!
And hence, when the opportunity presents itself in the form of a blog, the citizens are more than willing to vent their true feelings about terrorism and the fanatic muslims...

yep, that is what i meant. supporting a culprit is a pseudo style in modern days. It is the same in the USA too. Media and so called secularists often glorify bad elements. People evaluate their standards and also would like to show it to the world by showing sympathy to culprits. They are the one most hypocrites who, in real life, never even go next to these culprits. They are being closed to bad elements only for the publicity and on the paper. This is not just about in India, in fact, it is quite common all over the world. in the USA, it is the same problem. Media often highlight even if one small mistake by a white man on black man. If there are thousands of killing by other side, not even one people or media would bother about it. This is the typical examples of transformation of people’s attitude from nationalism to liberalism. The best example is American was built for almost century by the nationalism. It does not mean that they were antisocial, but for them patriotism was everything. Look what is happening now. the liberalism destroying everything. Obama's spiritual leader is so against to america that it is just so unreal to believe. had it been the case of Mcaine or Clinton, media would have made them culprits.
