Barkha Dutt is a big celebrity in news journalism today. A Jamai-Milia-Islamia and a NYC student she makes no calms about her anti-Hindu-Fundamentalists leanings.
Thats fair. Everyone is entitled to her opinion. And she has the right to hers. But it becomes hard to digest when she uses her "We the People" program on NDTV to blatantly spin in favour of her favourite Left and put a negative spin on everything related to the "ugly" Hindus of the nation.
I vividly remember a few years back she was back to Gujarat-Modi bashing (one of her favourite skills) about a stray incident in Baroda.
Again Baroda was tense when a Hindu boy was killed by a Muslim mob under the pretext of protesting against the removal of a road side dargah. Off she went on a Modi bashing spree without realising that actually a Hindu boy was killed by a mob.
But once it was clear that Muslims had started the problem she brought in her usual spin by asking the viewers "Is anyone safe in Gujarat?". This time she could not proclaim that the oh-so-innocent Muslim was a victim.
Reader Sandeep Kumar sent another observation today.
In another episode of "We the People" about Kolkata's Rezwan-Priyanka case she called on the program 3 Hindu women who had married Muslims. She could not find a single Muslim married to Hindu. May be she was afraid of a back lash from the peace loving Muslims, as Sandeep rightly doubts.
Or was it plain old simple "Barkha-spin". Who can tell?
