Have you seen billboard for abortion or Nasbandi in USA? Ofcourse not, infact yesterday they found live bomb outside abortion clinic <b>Bomb found outside Texas abortion clinic </b>
Every weekend I see protest group outside abortion clinic near my house, nobody reports this in international media anywhere.
Indian media should start showing pictures from otherside.
In India they take matter to court, here they just kill people.

Wonder if the international media even considered what would have happened if Gere had tried tried the same on an islamic woman in a dar-ul-islami country? Forget Buddhist Gere - he'd be on their hitlist just for being a kafir. Imagine it were some christian actor instead. I think he'd be dead in no time, even before the mobs could take to the streets, before any islami govt could begin to try and stop the incident from blowing up. Someone better thank their lucky stars that they committed the blunder in India and not neighbouring Jihadistan.
Now all Gere gets is to hear news of a few Hindus protesting and burning effigees of him and someone slapped a lawsuit so the court says it 'may' want his arrest. Highly unlikely it will ever happen, but this whole event will serve as a warning so visitors think before trying something like this again in a foreign country. There are different customs in different countries and some things that just aren't done in certain settings. If you're in someone else's house, you don't try to offend your host. Same thing.
