There were some people who had this faint hope that perhaps the people who were killed in the Mumbai terrorist attacks did not die in vain after all.

I used to have great respect and admiration for 'The Hindu' newspaper and its other publications such as Frontline and Sportstar.

Whenever I read news articles and columns, I cannot help wondering where the writer/columnist is coming from. I have become an expert at spotting their biases towards one way or the other. However, some columnists really make it easy - you don't really need to read between the lines to see where they are coming from. A case in point: Dhruba Adhikary from Nepal.
