The following story http://in.rediff.com/news/2005/dec/16rajeev.htm appeared on the homepage of Rediff a few days back and still features in the homeapage. I am apalled and wonder what is the limit of free speech?
How can such things that are so ridiculous and aimed at poisoning minds besides creating rifts in Indian society be featured prominently?
Not Togadia or Shahabuddin who are known rabblerousers, it is people like these who feature such articles need to be condemned. Three or four instances that fit in your ideological angle are collected and a web of lies is spun to cast aspersions.
Everyone is shaken by such deaths but portraying them as Hindu, Muslim, Christian is criminal. I am a Muslim so am I not a human? I may ask what is the value of Muslim's life during riots and carnages like Gujarat.
The eye for eye case was shown on television channels again and again (of course to show the era Saudis think they live in) and the pressure mounted on government.
Rubia was the then Home Minister's daughter and had it been the daughter of Karan Singh it would have been the same case. In my humble opinion, if there is a big event small news stories do not get mentioned but when there is no such news, a story like eye-for-eye gets more prominence but not the death in Afghanistan.
Is it not electronic print media and the circumstances like that of Sarabjeet which was taken up by the entire media as a cause but never in the past the issue of hundreds of Indians languishing in jails became a national debate.
One does not expect an opinion-maker website like Rediff.com to carry such a poor piece.

I am sad and hurt at such anti-Muslim bias

I empathize with you. The best you can do is..IGNORE it. You have unwittingly fallen prey by having provided a link to that scandalous article!
