Sir, Aditya Sinha in "The flood of silence" (TNIE, August 21, 2010) is blaming the middle and media (of India) for a cold response to the devastating floods in Pakistan when he himself has given the reason for our lack of interest. More than three unprovoked wars, repeated terror attacks, a hate campaign for the last six decades, sending militants to Kashmir, sowing seeds of separation, instigating the minority communities.... have left a bitter taste among Indians towards their neighbour. Given this, it is pointless to blame the media and the middle class. - V.Sundararajan, Chennai. (Letter to The Editor, The New Indian Express of August 23, 2010).
My comment: Perhaps Mr.Aditya Sinha expects every Indian to be a Buddha or a Jesus. We are ordinary mortals burdened with our own problems and difficulties. More often we are not able to express our token of gratitude people who do some good or the other to us. So involved and enwrapped we are in our problems and so difficult is life. When such is the case, how we could take an interest or sympathise with people who add to our misery.
Grateful thanks to Mr.V.Sundararajan and The New Indian Express.
