Its unfortunate mediawalas ignoring this even with the hashtag trending

This seems to have happened early morning. Seems to be in-control now.


As for why no major media reports, obviously a secular attack.

In the larger scheme of things as long as the real news reaches enough people, its good that the MSM doesn't report. The disconnect between them and people on the ground will only increase.

I expect the HM to make a serious statement, if not, I'd lose even more confidence.

If we are speaking about Bengali media till now, they maintain a consistent decorum about reporting communal riots, strictly adhering to details that are only necessary to print given the sensitivity about religious sentiments. Nothing wrong in it if you see carefully the very reason behind it. If they have not reported about atrocities by 'Muslims', they have been careful about not mentioning those by HIndus too. And I appreciate the reasoning behind it.

LOL. So does that mean Bengali people are unaware of Godhra and Gujarat Riot ? :cheesy: ..... clearly by your own admission Bengali media would not have covered it, right ?

OR does this "sensitivity" and "reasoning" run skin deep and is limited to killings in Bengal ?

I have heard of the Great Fire wall of China, Looks like there is a great fire wall of Bengal too to keep the "innocent" bengalis ignorant with the firm belief that its ignorance that brings peace, not awareness and justice. Tremendous faith in Mankind I must say. Top class intellectual thinking :coffee:

To see a Bengali praising censorship is a treat :lol: ........ Rabindranath Tagore will be proud.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake

The unnecessary sarcasms now bore me.
Blasphemy. :(
So, please before taking potshots on Bengalis
I never took potshots on Bengalis. :) My point is this.
We see and saw countless demonstrations all over India and including Bengal over the nun rape incident. But we saw nothing and no accusations for the Belur Math or other attacks on Hindu institutions. Don't you think there is a bias at play?

Please consider the merit of this post without playing the 'bashing Bengali' card. I am not Manvan and I won't accept being treated like one.

@scorpionx (EDIT) - By demonstrations, I mean from the usual suspects like the Kabir Sumans and the Sunil Ganguly-s. This point was given by my Bengali friends to be honest - they were the ones to identify this glaring lack of equality. A fair number are gradually turning communal by the day because of the perceived lack of even handed treatment for both cases.

Hey you kashmiri!!
I need your help...
check this United Nations Security Council Resolution 47 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and this
Jammu and Kashmir out of U.N. list of disputes - The Hindu

So why is that I can spot Kashmir in this list?

Yes, it was removed almost 4 years back I guess. Nothing new. This was a long standing demand following the Shimla records. They took almost 30 years to correct it. Better late than never. Pakistan is the only country who stick to the previous plans. Also China because they have a stake in this. Remember there was a stone throwing movement in Srinagar around the same time. :P

You can spot it because the dispute exists. Just that it is not as recognized by the UN. :D

Regarding Nun Rape case, absolutely no bias at all. Why? Because from the beginning it was never assumed as an attack on the minority Christians by Hindu majority. The general protest was against the horridiness of rape of a seventy years old lady and the failure of Police administration to catch the culprits in spite of photographic evidences. It was never a matter of religious atrocity as it was dishonestly propagated by the Church authority. On the other hand, general suspicion still prevails that it might have been caused by some religious nut jobs. So, no similarity stands at all, Sarthak.

Heck I even tried editing it, but it gave me Captcha error (whatever that means). Would you be able to help?

Not the similarity. I meant the latter part, I added in the EDIT. :) The selective lack of outrage is the issue. Not among the Bengalis here, my friends etc. But among the ones who held countless processions in the past.

No sarthak.

Maybe it's in limbo. Who cares. Imagine if Kashmir is not in the list and India naively removes her forces. Pakistan will walk right in. It matters little in this part of the world. Never stopped Pakistan (or India) from playing here. With guns.
