The Hindu Publishes Dissent on Tibet

I was frankly surprised to see this in the Hindu today. From refusing to even acknowledge the Tibet problem and publishing completely one-sided op-eds in favor of the Chinese government, the paper has clearly come some distance though not much seems to have changed in its editorial policy (see today's lead article by M.K.Bhadrakumar). Reading it, I get the impression that the letter was much longer before being edited to its current form but this is still progress. Check it out.
