Indians cannot sledge; Australians can

To be fair, Chindu has been consistent in opposing Indian interests. It supports Australian sledging but thinks Indian sledging brings disrespect to the game. Even-handed justice, communist style. Chindu would like to propagate through its paper the inferiority complex and eternal slavery mindset of Indians.

The Hindu : Sport : Things going from bad to worse

The Indians seem to feel that to play aggressively one has to have an aggressive mindset and though this may have improved performance marginally, in the long run, one very vital aspect of the game — the spirit —will suffer. To some extent, it already has.

To Australians, sledging is their birthright.

Editorial on Foriegners Act

Foreigners in Assam

The Supreme Court's ruling on Tuesday striking down the Foreigners (Tribunals for Assam) Order, 2006, could not have come at a worse time to the United Progressive Alliance Government ...

This is about sovereignty and integrity of our country and not what it means to UPA government's political ambitions. After reviling BJP, based on speculative reports, for politicising the selection of President, CBCNN is politicising an issue of national concern. As a secondary point, why is this ruling, given in the best interests of the nation, not favourable to UPA? CBCNN, please elaborate.

The Assam-specific order was promulgated in February this year, not coincidentally on the eve of the elections to the State Assembly ...

CBCNN has given so much information on this amendment but one crucial element is missing: who promulgated the IMDT act and, when it was struck down, the Amendment to Foreigner's Act. Whom is CBCNN trying to protect?


... illegal migrants in Assam continue to evoke very real, strong, and quite contradictory passions and apprehensions in the State.
CBCNN is known to be against India's interests and it displays it well here, just as it has done several times in the past.
"Contradictory passions" suggest that there are people opposing illegal migrants: this is perfectly understandable; AND there are is a sizeable population supporting illegal migrantion into Assam: this is anti-national. CBCNN is not willing to give its readers the slightest of hint who these traitors are. We have seen CBCNN long enough to know it supports traitors, being one itself. However, we did notice in passing that, while BJP hailed the striking down of this amendment, the dynasty party and the barking down were silent yesterday.

A feature of such contradiction is that, as always in such matters, these reactions are necessarily group-specific.
Yesterday's report indicated that the verdict was hailed by all patriots. Traitors and the illegal migrants obviously did not like it.

... the apprehensions among sections of the people of the State who, rightly or wrongly, believe that the ruling bodes no good for their security and well being.
CBCNN is weeping and appealing to its readers about traitors and illegal migrants who are getting apprehensive about their security and well being.

`vote-bank politics' is the norm throughout the country, not merely in Assam.
CBCNN comes out in full support of 'vote-bank politics'. And we know why: because the party indulging in such dirty politics is Congress.

This normative requirement (of uniform law throughout India) has, however, to be balanced against the unique historical and current realities in Assam ...
CBCNN is advocating for special status to Assam, just like Kashmir. It does not want the problem of illegal migrants to be addressed. Instead it wants the illegal migrants to be given special status.

CBCNN does not acknowledge the problem of illegal migrants. So it obviously cannot ask for the illegal migrants to be thrown out. It further tries to alienate Assam from India by pointing out some "historical and current realities". All this in the name of ethics and rational thought.

Assam Foreigners Order

No editorial on this important judgement.

Assam Foreigners order unconstitutional

Form tribunals to deal with illegal migrants

Parties, students hail verdict

This act is against national interests and the traitors are obviously not happy with this. Hence the silence.

Xinhua boss visits his branch office in Delhi

Journalists have to do what is legal: Xinhua chief

Tian Congmin, president of the Chinese Xinhua news agency, visited the New Delhi offices of The Hindu on Monday afternoon and interacted with journalists. The Hindu Editor-in-Chief N. Ram and New Delhi Chief of Bureau Harish Khare were present.

Mr. Tian, who is a member of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party since 1998, chairs the All-China Journalists Association.

Its year-end and time for appraisals. The boss has come down to assess the performance of the staff over the past year. CBCNN has done fairly well, following all the guidelines laid down by the Chinese Communist Party. N.Ram must be expecting a little more than 30 silver coins for his stupendous service to his fatherland. But Tian Congmin is likely to cut his pay because the cost of silver has risen substantially this year.

France too rules out comparion between India and N.Korea

France too rules out comparison

France on Tuesday joined the United States and Britain in rejecting a comparison between the nuclear programmes of India and North Korea.

However, CBCNN insists on clubbing the two under the same banner.
