"The Times of India has succeeded in its Goebbelsian design: the world has never heard about the Muslim initiative in the Bombay riots, and even well-meaning people.. think of them as a "pogrom", inflicted without provocation by mean and hateful Hindus on the unsuspecting Muslim minorityâĻ The outside world has never heard this account of the January riots because the decisive news channelsâĻ have chosen to black out all reference to the Muslim initiativeâĻ Following Press Council rules, the paper did not mention which community was on the attack and which one on the defensive, until three days later, when the Shiv Sena started its retaliation. From that point onwards, the first three days, when Muslims were on the attackâĻ were kept out of view, but the details of subsequent Shiv Sena-led Hindu violence against Muslims were reported in full."
