Somebody stop him

I have no idea of the background of the author of this article. However, you may not know that most Indian Americans may not know the words of the American Anthem. Singing loudly will also give out that Indian Americans, especially the first generation immigrants can not carry on the tune with the American tune. However, the same people are able to sing the Indian national anthem easily as they grew up singing it as kids and young adults in various occasions.

You may also not know that many attendees who look Indian are only with green card or H1 / L1 visas, and thus not American citizens.

The practice of both anthems in most Indian events is still commendable. It is the spirit behind this counts, not singing, knowing the words or their hands on their heart.

It is interesting that you are reading too much more than needed.

You are probably a journalist, who does not understand basic fundamentals of life and people, want you are an expert when you have a pen or a computer key board in your hand.

Grow up and give up your pathetic journalism.

The only American Americans are the native Americans. The author seems to imply that American Americans are Caucasians.

I think the author’s intent was that “American Americans” are American citizens born in the US, as opposed to immigrants. Although both are American citizens, immigrants find an inner conflict about which national anthem(s) to sing.

The INDIAN AMERICANS like me feel proud of our INDIAN origin&heritage&equally feel the same of our AMERICAN citizenship.We are also comfortable with both national anthems when recited at functions.This transition offered to us by the constitutions of both great democratic nations of USA&INDIA.

Have you heard about ‘Norman Tebit’s Law’ that is well known in the U.K.? Mr. Norman Tebit is a well known old Conservative Minister in Margaret Thatcher’s Government. During his time when there was a hot debate about immigration and there was some arguments regarding the loyalty’ of British Indians to wards Britain. He suggested a simple test to find out the loyalty of British Indian Citizens. If there is a Cricket match between teams of England and India, find out which team the British Indians support. Mr Tebit’s argument was even if the Indians had assimilated British way of life and hold a British Passport, they would support the Indian team and this reflects their loyalty to the country they live. Obviously the older generation do support the Indian team, it not necessarily mean they are disloyal to Britain. On the contrary, most of the Britis Indians are well assimilated into the British society and they are equally contributing to the British society just as a native British citizen.

We need Patriotic & decisive leaders like Narendra Modi to keep the country on track of progress. Nominees like MMS & Mukharjee have doomed the nation. There is sole aim of grabbing power & looting the country. The Janlokpal would have gone a long way in bringing accountability in the system.

At a time when RIL is unable to produce gas from D6 its owner has recently flown some favored journalists to Europe in their fantasy plane to cover some science story that didn’t pan out.Let Narendra Modi get their black money stashed in
off shore accounts (since this jaunt couldn’t have come at company expense)
and use it to fund his solar park or whatever.
Both parties are equally culpable when it comes to policy paralysis at
returning our national wealth for socially useful economic progress.

Very well said Mr. Sarkar. I am the Press & Media Secretary of United Kingdom Telugu Association (UKTA) who rushed to the hospital upon hearing the stabbing news of Mr Reddy. While I have repeatedly warned the media not to cook up stories, the fact that there was a lady among the 11 arrested became another loose end for the love triangle conclusion. We sincerely appeal to all media representatives to approach a reliable source such as Minister for Press & Information of High Commission of India or an association like us who are willing to help Indians in distress instead of probing the case from different angles and trying to tread on the Police’s toes!

Pranav D, I don’t know if I have the answers to your big questions, because I actually think that we have hit a point where we need to (re)familiarise ourselves with the basics of good journalism.

But certainly the industry can devise schemes to seek out people who are passionate about journalism. It needs to train them well in all aspects of the craft before encouraging them to specialise. This is happening already in some parts of the industry but it’s obvious that there are gaps.

Skills that you speak of, such as reasoning, analysis and balance, are not acquired overnight. They need time, resources, hard work and patience.

Fair comments, but the media’s audience is not only the government. I would say that the Indian public has a legitimate interest in violent attacks carried out against people of Indian origin even if they are not citizens of India (though I agree reporters need to make clearer what they mean by “Indians”).

can you tell me what are the important factors considered while designing the cover page/ first page to increase sales / attract consumers.

Police and CRPF are always alert about Naxalities in the tribal area.
