India’s Media Silence on Major Corruption

After remaining wilfully silent on India’s biggest corruption story of the year the immediate reaction of some sections of the Indian media was to divert attention to Brand India and corporate privacy concerns. We are now witness to another diversion — the case for corporate lobbying (never mind that corporate lobbying has just robbed the country of hundreds of millions of dollars). …There can be no greater disgrace than the fact that the entire dissemination of the biggest corruption story of the year was managed by citizens and nonresident Indians through the Internet.
