ARTICLE : Reuters corrects itself
Dear Friends:
It is heartening to see Reuters changed their report, because of the protest.
I guess it is probably harder to convince some of our own to look at things from
a perspective other than what they have learnt about Hinduism from English books
written by westerners or western trained Indians.
I hope that atleast now that some of our own "self proclaimed experts" get
off their soapboxes and maybe acknowledge that there can be a different
perspective which could be valid.
Below is the message from Reuters:
