May 2006 - Dr. Abdul Kalam returns the Office of profit bill to the parliament. N. Ram, Editor, The Hindu, in his editorial of June 1, 2006, terms it "A case of presidential overreach".
October 2007 - The Supreme Court bans the T.Nadu from going ahead with the bandh. N. Ram calls it his editorial today as "Constitutionally off-track".
How can this man be so blatantly, shamefully parochial and biased? His opinions sound more like that of a mentally imbalanced politician, rather than a journalist!
Check out these reactions to his earlier, anti-democratic pronouncements.
- Ramachandra Guha's response to Ram's biased account on China in the Frontline seven years ago.
- The Friends of Tibet web site.
My own reaction? To terminate the subscription to The Hindu, out of sheer disgust! Guess, I should have done it earlier...
