what a strange news story.... The editorial board is to blame for it, i think. The Hindu generally avoids anything that the board imagines to be controversial. For example: i read a news story once of an income tax raid on an actor's house in madras. The story mentioned everything except 'the alleged actor' 's name !!
if somebody did a word count, i am sure the hindu would come out tops in the usage of the word 'alleged'... > > Actuall, I was looking for some background on the controversy.
