Quote:

Most Pakistanis believe their religion is more important than nationality while Indians trust the police and army more than their politicians

Indians still trust the Journalists to the extent that they are willing to hand over power to them or the military instead of the politicians.
Isn't this an irony given the fact that many of the existing politiciains were journalists once?
Quote:
The two countries were almost identical in who they would choose to give more power to - around 55% choosing the military and intellectuals and 50% journalists.

Dressed in saffron, Uma Bharati is a sanyasin - someone who has taken the pledge to remain unmarried and vegetarian and wear saffron clothes. BBC has come up with an definition of a Sanyasin: someone who has taken the pledge to remain unmarried and vegetarian and wear saffron clothes. WOW!
It looks like a definition straight from a five year old Kid's textbook.
BUT unfortunately, for a global news media, it is way too simple an explaination. Can't they do better? Can't they educate their viewers/readers better on what the word 'Sanyasi' means?
