Read the write-up, Shahina. The hindu bombs were diffused at the newsrooms.

I remember an incident from Trivandrum at the time of, I guess, visit of APJ
Abdul Kalam, then President. Of some hoax mail or something a young muslim
boy (from Manakkad, Tvpm If I remember correctly) was arrested by the police
only because he had with him pellets which he got from his neighbhour. TV
channels, print - evryone reported. Next day, the story completely changed.
A Sharma was arrested in this regard. But I remember a channel reporter
speaking greatly about Sharma's technical prowess. Thats Our Media.. Murdoch
or Berlusconi.. does it make any difference, if this is the case.

If all of us remember rightly, the Pokhran was detonated as a
Hindu-Masculine bomb in the newsroom.

BTW, I am afraid of  reading. the Nuclear debate. People whom we know as
serene turning hawkish is rather unbelievable. So I stopped it. National
Patriotism(NP1) or Non-Proliferation(NP0) , my mind tends to shift towards
the later. NSG/US/imperialism- all are now tied  to the string of  NP1.

Thank you shahina for sensitizing the reading communities on newsroom
biases.
