The Hindu did not disappoint. It did not publish my letter.
Indidentally, Dr.Steve Farmer mentioned in one of his postings in the Indo-Eurasian forum one Indian historian saying that The Hindu was getting 'hinduized'. I cannot agree more if the tense is 'was'. There was a clear 'hindu' slant in the choice and exposition of topics for some of the editorials, and in the choice of people for interviews and reporting during the last two years that peaked during the cofidence motion debate in the Parliament around July last year - N.Ram's two-part interview of L.K. Advani, coverage given to Narendra Modi and Dr.Subramanian Swami are some of the relevant instances. As a diligent reader, I feel that the slant is being corrected to regain its rating as a liberal, left-leaning paper.
