<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Ananth that was mighty unfair. Ramnath Goenka (RNG) was, and remains the highest pedestal the DDMâs would ever dream to reach.
The funny thing is that during RNGâs rein Indian Express was supposed to be the key sympathizer of Sangh ideology. ( if we believe Praful Bidwai).
Actually, Indian express in its current avatar must be seen post-demise RNG when the institution was bifurcated between two Junior Goenkaâs. The heir of Indian express -Vivcek Goenka - has little to do with management and is thoroughly money driven.
The key to this blatant sell out to the US interests has to do with âShekhar Guptaâ. A little googling will inform you that he was a correspondent in Pakistan during early days of 1980âs (CIAâs Afgan years) posting pretty innocuous articles (Walter Duranty style). His claim to fame had been his discovery of LTTE camps on Indian soil in 1987 embarrassing RAW and IB in the process. Gupta basically hails from the rural background and is educated in hindi medium. If you get a chance to brush-by him, he will make it evident to you as to how much he holds himself in inferiority for his education in Hindi medium. In short he will leave no opportunity to prove his English and elitist skills which unfortunately comes off as pretentious.
IE under gupta shows a clear hierarchy of interest wherein the equation is
US paramount > > Sonia Congress > NBJPire > Leftists > Rightists (Sangh).
This manâs role during the Parakaram stand off is also pretty hazy with his claim to Pakistanis that he will take care of BJP from within (during the heat of the stand off). All the more interesting is his much-excited coverage of the Gujarat riots during the same period asking for Army redeployment from Kutchh border into the heartland with those BBC style footnotes mentioning that âNo country has ever gone to war with a nation where US troops are stationedâ (hinting that US might intervene for the Pakis). And then of course, Taklu and his analysts gunning for the Nuclear Deal even before any detail had come out regarding the same. It is taklu, Veiveck Goneka and the coterie, which needs to be watched and studied more deeply.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
