Sonia Gandhi - Holy only in Indian media, not so abroad? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A neutral observer of Indian media could soon catch up the partisan attitude that our media takes while extending the holy cow treatment to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. Despite an appeal at the Supreme Court and question having been raised in Rajya Sabha on Rajiv Gandhis Swiss account, Indian media is tight-lipped on the issue. Of course, its the same media that made a storm of corruption cases of other political leaders across party lines, but when its about the top family, media is muted. Indian media to have become Congress mouthpiece which is substantiated by the differential treatment meted out to Yeddyurappa of BJP and other former CMs of Karnataka, while their offence was the same. The silence of Indian media on issues relating to Sonia Gandhi is in contrast to how the foreign media reacted to it, and quite early. The Huffingston post, a leading US daily, published an analysis of corruption charges against Sonia Gandhi as early as in April 2011. It titled its piece as Worlds #9 Most Powerful Person Now Accused of Corruption -- Will She Fall? The analysis raises interesting points, which our media is too shy to raise, even now, when theres a public upsurge against corruption, for reasons, best known to it.
