Apparently, notwithstanding that consistent position, the Chindu takes aim at the GOI's position - even the mere expression of 'distress' by the GOI at the violence in Tibet is considered an outrage despite the fact that the Chinese government itself has been okay with it. More pro-China than the Chinese govt. itself! Can you beat that?!! What is worrying is that the fellow writing this is a former member of the IFS. Wonder how many other IFS men are out with such pro-China sympathies willing to do hit jobs to please their master.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32317349.post-86124883462517061522008-03-23T12:09:00.000-07:002008-03-23T12:09:00.000-07:00Even if Chindu announces itself as the communist m...Even if Chindu announces itself as the communist mouthpiece, or a Yen Ram Times, I don't think propagating anti-India views will be acceptable (like Chindu's stand on Arunachal Pradesh issue or India-China border issues). Because, Chindu makes use of the security provided by the Indian State and the freedom of expression provided by our society and our country. So any newspaper publishing from India(even a Ram Times) will also have some responsibilities towards our society. By supporting China in the border issues, what Chindu essentially doing is betraying our society and our country. So we must continue running this blog exposing Chindu the fifth column. <BR/><BR/>Kudos to HF, Andromeda, and DD for running the blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32317349.post-78763293885009030582008-03-23T11:17:00.000-07:002008-03-23T11:17:00.000-07:00Great post Andromeda.

If Ram wants to have a yellow rag, let him create the <I>Ram times</I> and preach to his few dozen followers. Sullying the Chindu's name is simply not acceptable.Dirt Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135391085865919386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32317349.post-79246246892744504852008-03-23T08:30:00.000-07:002008-03-23T08:30:00.000-07:00Thank you very much!
