A Welcome Response to the Karnataka Protests

It is a pleasant surprise to see The Hindu come out strongly against the violent protests in Karnataka that began with the publication of a translation of one of Taslima Nasreen's article. I am inclined to believe that this editorial is a response to all the sharp criticism of the mainstream media's double standards - sympathy for M.F.Hussain but silence with respect to Taslima. I see this as a positive change and welcome the fact that the newspaper is being responsive to its critics' arguments.
