On April 27, 2011 PTI publishes a story on Lobsang Sangay, the newly elected Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government in Exile in India. The story was republished by major newspapers that are subscribed to the wire-agency. On April 28, 2011, The Hindu publishes the story by adding 'unauthorised' words and sentences to defame the newly-elected Prime Minister and the Government in Exile. Compare the original PTI story with the manipulated report of The Hindu. Friends of Tibet learns that the practice of adding the byline of a wire-agency after the manipulation of an original report is unethical and a breach of agreement between a newspaper and the PTI on publishing rights.<br />The original Press Trust of India story of April 27, 2011<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lobsang Sangay Next PM of Exiled Tibetan Government<br /><br />(PTI, April 27, 2011, http://www.ptinews.com/news/1545442_Lobsang-Sangay-next-PM-of-exiled-Tibetan-government)<br />Dharamsala: Harvard scholar Lobsang Sangay was today elected Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile and would take over the political duties relinquished by spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. 43-year-old Sangay polled 55 per cent votes out of 49189, defeating his nearest rival Tethong Tenzin Namgyal by 8,646 votes, Election Commissioner Jampal Chosang announced here. Sangay is a research fellow at the Harvard Law School. Tethong Tenzin Namgyal, a Stanford scholar, polled 18,405 votes while Tashi Wangdi, the Dalai Lama's representative in Brussels, New York and New Delhi, finished third.

A research fellow at the Harvard Law School, Mr. Sangay, aged 43, polled 55 per cent votes out of 49,189, defeating his nearest rival Tethong Tenzin Namgyal by 8,646 votes,"election commissioner" Jampal Chosang said here. Tethong Tenzin Namgyal, a Stanford scholar, polled 18,405 votes, while Tashi Wangdi, the Dalai Lama's representative in Brussels, New York and New Delhi, finished third. The election was held on March 20. Fifty-nine per cent votes were cast by the electoral college comprising more than 83,000 Tibetans living in exile in India, the U.S., the European countries, Bhutan, Nepal, Russia and Japan, among others. ('Chinese Pressure' Missing!) )Voting was not allowed by the authorities in Nepal and Bhutan. The Dalai Lama, 75, announced last month that he would step down as political head, but would remain as religious leader and continue to advocate "meaningful autonomy" for Tibet. — PTIrobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741719510561783037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935351272891423286.post-16956392204548270362011-05-05T07:12:20.774-07:002011-05-05T07:12:20.774-07:00Unless Hindu becomes Nationalist newspaper and fil...Unless Hindu becomes Nationalist newspaper and fills up for the paper opposing pseudo secular forces,there is no tomorrow.The paper is ridden with members pursuing communist,anti Hindu and Pro christian agenda in subtle manner.<br />The paper can still surive if Malinis and Ravis are kept out and Ram also rescinds the chair.

It is only a matter of difference of opinion among the brothers and cousins. If only they are upfront about what each one is doing, things can be sorted out. The present turmoil and animosity can be traced to the cold war between G. Kasturi and the late S. Rangarajan. If there is one person who can put the paper on the right path, it is the patriarch G. Kasturi. He holds all the aces.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899748736366022158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935351272891423286.post-27636803169007127892011-05-03T09:42:58.080-07:002011-05-03T09:42:58.080-07:00Ram is a Marxist who has high-level connections wi...Ram is a Marxist who has high-level connections with China & Muslim world. Nepali Communists are puppets of China.The Hindu has been promoting the Communists of Nepal, aggressively. It was to protect the strategic interests of China in Nepal.Similarly, Ram has been aggressively campainging for the cause of Islamic countries like Pakistan, Iran,etc.<br />Malini is a Pentecost Christian. She is rabidly anti-Hindu. The anti-Hindu bias of the Paper started with her. She has brought several born-again Christians into The Hindu. Several readers have pointed out the subtle promotion of Christianity by the 'Young World' magazine of The Hindu, after Malini's entry.mediathughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924369599230591736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935351272891423286.post-52998033188079027532011-05-01T23:39:31.311-07:002011-05-01T23:39:31.311-07:00The issue on date is Malini,Ravi or the other memb...The issue on date is Malini,Ravi or the other members of the family have been responsible for alineating the traditional Hindu readers by anti Hindu religion articles,barbed attacks on BJp whether justifed or not as well as shielding the genocide of Tamils in Srilanka.
