year in place of a hindu festival.
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Chindu's own China specialist(rather, admirer) seems to be all excited
about the Chinese new year.

China moves into the lunar Year of the Rat
Pallavi Aiyar
"There are 12 animals in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, and
the rat is the first in this series. Legend has it that all the
animals concerned were in a race to cross a broad river."
Note the absence of mocking qualifiers such as "mythology"
(exclusively reserved for Hinduism-related news and reports) in the
article and also the feel good tone of reporting, completely devoid of
derision, ridicule, scorn and condescension otherwise liberally dished
out in reports dealing with Hindu faith.

R.K. Karanjia: Living through the Blitz
P. Sainath
"At the height of the Sino-Soviet hostility, Karanjia managed exclusive interviews with the leaders of both the USSR and China (including a rare meeting with Zhou en Lai.) He also had one with the Pope in the same period. His early interview with Mr. Castro, though, was very Blitz."
Sainath writes lots of stuff about his professional association with Karanjia. Of course, he does not reveal certain "uncomfortable" facts!
It is left to Hindu journalists to complete Karanjia's biography.

The editor who defined Indian journalism -- Tarun Vijay
According to Tarun Vijay: "In his later years he (Karanjia) turned deeply spiritual and the final turning point came during the Ayodhya movement. He was the first editor in a mainstream journal who supported the Ramjanmabhoomi movement openly. First Francois Gautier's column began appearing in Blitz supporting the Ram agitation spiritedly with impeccable logic."

Sudheendra Kulkarni
Sudheendra Kulkarni says: "In the last phase of his journalistic career, he became increasingly disillusioned with communism and the Communists anti-Hindu secularism. Simultaneously, he became a strong sympathiser of the BJP and the Ayodhya movement. It was then that he insisted I replace Sainath as deputy editor and give a new, pro-Hindu orientation to Blitz".

Funnily, Chindu carried the photo of the "wrong" Karanjia and corrected the situation with the correct photo, the next day in the print edition. Surprisingly, the "wrong" photo persists in the web edition!
