[Goanet] Facts about the FACT exhibition
Selma wrote: I viewed most of its sections, including the history section. One of the problems with it is, it sets out Kashmir as a Hindu v/s Muslim problem, rather than one which needs a political, territorial and economic solution. The other problem is that it is subtly pervasive in its message of hate-mongering, much like the infamous VCD. On the face it, it reflects the FACTS but scrape the veneer and it is but an all too gaudy demonisation of Muslims. The history section, particularly is of interest in setting the premise for the whole exhibition. Comment: Selma, the taste of the pudding is in the eating. The BJP (NDA) was in power for 6 years. We would like to learn from the organisers of the exhibition what action was taken to ameliorate the plight of the Kashmiri Pandits as well as the local Muslim population which has been suffering in the conflict. Instead the BJP released some terrorists and sent its foreign minister Jaswant Singh as high level personal escort to Khandahar. That some of the released terrorists were subsequently involved in the 9/11 terror is another story. Regards, Marshall -- My life has changed. What about yours?

For those interested in a preview of this exhibition, a link is available on line. I refrained from pasting it. You can decide for yourself whether it is biased or not. I viewed most of its sections, including the history section.
