1. Media suffer from "dhimmi" disorder, Guest Column at IndiaCause
A B Vajpayee, 14 Apr. 2002:
"It is indeed strange that I am praised as a secular leader when I condemn,
as I recently did, intolerance and other negative features exhibited by
certain self-styled champions of Hindutva, but criticised as a "communal
leader" when I point out the negative aspects of militant Islam. Such double
standards do no good to a healthy debate on what is true secularism and what
is in the interest of our nation and the world"
…… The outlook poll is an example of dhimmi mentality (the Arabic word means
‘the non-Muslims tolerated by Islam on conditions’, one being that dhimmis
are always required to show subservience and acknowledge the supremacy of
Islam and the Muslims).

2. From India to Iraq, TOI
Last week the British foreign secretary Jack Straw said: I want to
salute India for what it has been, what it is, and what it will be. India has

3. Shock to the System, Rediff
"Because there is no forum, no political group, that represents us,
these Hindu Talibs wreck havoc in the country, comfortable in the belief that
alert Hindus have no option but to support them. That must stop," says Varsha
Bhosle.

4. No offense, GE tells India, but China’s better, ATimes
GE, the US$126 billion revenue global giant and one of the world"s
largest companies, was once gung-ho on India. GE now prefers to make its
overseas investments in China rather than in India, due to better
infrastructure and rate of return there.

5. Controversy over Conversions & TN ordinance, Samachar
The Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Forcible Conversion of Religion
Ordinance should have been expected a long time ago. Many believe that it has
not come a day too soon. The Ordnance not only bars "forcible" conversions
but hands imprisonment.

6. How Israel has prepared for the next strike, NRO
If past behavior predicts future performance, then Iraq is sure to
fire Scud missiles at Israel when the United States attacks. Saddam Hussein
will use his weapons not as military assets, but as instruments of terror.

7. Bin Laden’s $20m African “Blood diamond” deals, Observer
The terrorist network led by Osama bin Laden struck deals in "blood
diamonds" worth over $20 million in the months before the attacks of 11
September 2001. Given that the attacks on America cost only about $500,000,

8. Indonesia: Too little, too late against terror, ATimes
The long-standing denial by Indonesian officials of the existence of
terrorist networks in the country was blasted to bits in Bali last weekend.
Has Jakarta learned its lesson?

9. Maid to Order, TimeAsia
A little robot called Roomba vacuums your house while you lounge by
the pool. Is this the beginning of the end? The first time you meet a robot
can be pretty disappointing. Hollywood has taught us what to expect: a trusty
