[Reader-list] A sham called election reporting

Dear Shivam

Indeed a nice article. It's something which the urban middle class in
particular must understand instead of making broad and useless assumptions.
Equally, even in Rajasthan, it's not as if all Hindus would have voted for a
Muslim against a Jat. Many issues are important in deciding elections, and
probably this could be one (to defeat the Jat).

As for the news items mostly circulated, we now have the Advani & Modi v/s
Manmohan clash. This is all rubbish. When the election results come out,
they will reflect that such a clash was totally useless. But then again, our
mainstream media would distort the reality to unnecessarily portray that as
a 'breaking news' indeed.

Regards

Rakesh
