But in India the Media controlled by big Fat cats of Industry and aligned with western media have a clever way of highlighting the body counts. For example during 26/11 Bombay attacks, they highlighted the Taj and nariman point killings while almost completely ignoring the 60 odd Killings at the CST because the killed were ordinary poor people while Taj is a 7 star clientèle and one amongst them. Again 26/11 is highlighted while the 1993 killings of 300 or 2003 serial killings of Goa,mumbai,bangalore,Delhi which involved 400 deaths were not remembered like 26/11 and no candle light marches. From what i read in the Indian blogs ordinary people are not fooled by these gimmicks. Ditto with train accidents when Minister of Railways used to resign for even a minor accident involving deaths.Now nobody cares. Ditto with corruption. Now it involves 1000 crores while Bofors scam involved 64 crores which brought down a government.The Satyam scam involving Rupees 14,000 crores or 4000 crores of khoda is not being followed by people.
