Pankaj Mishra makes his living by spreading lies against HINDUS
------------------------------------------

Distortion of Facts by Media, including noted Pankaj Mishra (*)

Reporting of numbers by Pseudo Seculars in MEDIA is concerned the favourite number of Muslims killed in riots seems to be 2000 . The truth has to be hidden because it would demolish the agenda which is the basis of writings. Look any report that number will be "more than 2,000 Muslims were killed"

Let's us take a look at the article "India's Muslim Time Bomb" written by Pankaj Mishra(*) , dated September 15, 2003 , where he quoted 2000 as his favorite Number for riots .

QUOTE

In the nationwide violence that followed the demolition of the mosque a decade ago, almost 2,000 people, mostly Muslims, died in Bombay alone ..

In 1998, an inquiry identified some Hindu police officers and politicians responsible for the killings; not one has been tried or convicted. Observing the 10th anniversary of the killings last year, Amnesty International noted that "even when those responsible are identified, they are allowed to go unpunished."

And early last year, more than 2,000 Muslims were killed in the western Indian state of Gujarat in a series of attacks by mobs that Human Rights Watch has said were organized and protected by Gujarat's Hindu nationalist rulers.
