Karthik's musings

Munnabhai's of Patna

I was watching on TV the pro-reservation protests at Patna. The protestors looked outright hooligans! I wonder if they were actual students or local rowdies who just decided to do their communities a favor.

More surprising was the muted and probably fabricated version provided by the NDTV reporter who was attacked by the protestors. While all other channels and newspapers have mentioned that the reporter was invited by the protestors to the hospital for some exclusive byte and then attacked, the correspondent himself does not mention that when reported on NDTV. He in fact repeated umpteen times in his report that the attack on him was not a big deal and the police were primarily responsible for the whole fiasco. Is there something more than meets the eye?
