I learnt this news from BBC. In order to get more information i logged on to Indian news channels IBNLive.com, i was shocked to see MF Hussain as the main news and 63 people lives lost as another news item. Then checked with NDTV.com and realised they were celebrating Hockey goals.

BBC South Asia had this in the prime news and was the Top 10 read items on BBC Worldwide. I was surprised to see that this was not the most important news, so does our media feel. But like it is said, the media reflects peoples sentiments. And if this was indeed an indication! Where are we heading. Below are the clips

Was going thro BBCnews.com ‘the day in pictures section’

Was perplexed to see this comment on their site which read ‘A young Shia Girl’. Such a distasteful and insensitive comment from a News agency that has the credible ability to force mindsets in our ‘Free World’ as we call it.

Children for one, are kids whether boy or girl and here you have the heights of Religious classification! Now who is more Islamic the Journalist or the kid makes me think!
