What's it about tigers?

IN Media Watch Briefs | 19/08/2013

A journalist asks, what is it about Hindutva demagogues and English journalists? First it was the Shiv Sena chief who was given the loving epithet "tiger", now its a tribute to another "tiger": Dilip Singh Judeo. A gushing obit in The Indian Express dated August 15 titled: "A tiger in Chhattisgarh politics till sting did him in", describes the former BJP/RSS leader’s life mission of re-converting Christian tribals to Hinduism as "controversial", but says nothing about the poison he spewed against Christian missionaries and indeed, all minorities.
