Bodo vs Bangladeshi

[G.Subramaniam]

No matter how long these debates carried on or who was louder (it was Arnab all the way) there still existed an eerie silence, especially on television news channels on the events of that day. One would expect that news channels would be forthright and be as condemning of the riots as they were of any other riots that have taken place elsewhere. So what happened? Did the channels collectively take a decision to tone down the Muslim instigation of the riots in order to prevent a backlash from Hindus? The position which many channels seem to have taken is to have refrained from naming the Muslim community to avoid any kind of a riotous situation. That would make for a compelling argument if it’s a policy followed in every instance of any kind of religious flare-up. But wouldn’t this just strengthen the argument of the Hindu Right that the media only gets after Hindus and not Muslims? - above url
