In a rare show of courage, the Indian Express reports some eyewitnesses accounts to the foul murder of Swami Lakshmananda Saraswati. Reproducing in full in case the Indian Express develops cold feet and withdraws the report, a la Tape Turdesai.

As we alight each step in the aftermath of the gruesome murder of Swami Lakshmananda Saraswati, we progressively discover the true nature of Christianity in its pristine-pure form. The faithful followers of the God of the Book and his Son are united across the globe in condemning–not the murder of the Swami–Hindu extremists for their [...]
Barely two days after the ghastly murder of an 80-year old Swami, Somini SpinGupta sets the wheels in motion. This NYT report is a study in the art of evasive reporting. I recommend repeated readings of this report to learn how to perfect the art. Right from the title, which says, Hindu-Christian violence Flares in [...]
What is more shocking than the news that the anti-conversion Swami Laxmananda Saraswati was murdered in cold blood? It is the fact that he was eighty years old.

Dr. Angana Chatterji, Dr. Shubh Mathur, Dr. Srimati Basu, Dr. Purnima Bose, Dr. Amitava Kumar, Dr. Swapna Mukhopadhyay, Dr. Richa Nagar, Dr. Vijaya Nagarajan, Dr. Mridu Rai, Dr. Sabina Sawhney, Dr. [...]
Name the first person to successfully sue both the FBI and the CIA?
No Googling, Wikipedia, etc…
What’s the difference between the "separatists" (who recently threatened to march into Muzzafarbad) and the Verbal Terrorist? Clearly, none. Especially after this earsplitting call.
