How the new Indian Express cheats and tricks Indians!
24 die as blast rock Peshawar hotel is a new item in the Indian Express dated May 15 2007.
Check the map appearing in the news item. You will find that the Pakistan occupied part of Kashmir is depicted as not a part of India. Is that all? Prima facie it would appear to the ignorant Indians that all that the map just depicts is that the Pakistan occupied part of Kashmir is shown as not part of Kashmir.
But look more carefully! The area in Kashmir illegally ceded by the Pakistanis to the Chinese inter alia in the Raskam and Shaksgam Areas of Kanjut (capital is Baltit in the Hunza valley) including inter alia Dafdar, Kukalang and Kilian - Khathaithum are also depicted simply as not a part of Kashmir.
But wait, It does not stop there! Look again more carefully! Is there any thing more obnoxious, offensive and derogatory in the map? It is not just that only the Pakistan occupied part of Kashmir is depicted as not a part of India even the rest of Kashmir is also depicted as not part of India. How does the Indian Express manage to successfully trick and cheat the ignorant Indians? They have meticulously and cleverly superimposed or overlaid the legend “Islamabad” on the what according to the Indian Express is the International Boundary between “India” and Kashmir so that the vast majority of the ignorant Indians are oblivious of the pernicious act of the Indian Express.
So finally, does it at least end there would be the poignant question in your mind. Probe and you will then notice that the Aksai Chin area in eastern Kashmir has also been depicted as not a part of Kashmir. The Indian Express has stealthily and surreptitiously not shown the whole of Aksai Chin in the map to prevent people from realizing that Aksai Chin has not been depicted as part of Kashmir. More over, to trick Indians they have cleverly super imposed the right margin of the map with the illegal international border which they have depicted separating Aksai Chin from the rest of Kashmir.
The most repugnant thing about the map is not just that Kashmir has been depicted as not part of India. It is also is not just that Pakistan occupied part of Kashmir is not depicted as part of Kashmir. It is also not just that the area in Kashmir illegally ceded by the Pakistanis to the Chinese inter alia in the Raskam and Shaksgam Areas of Kanjut (capital of Kanjut is Baltit in the Hunza valley) including inter alia Dafdar, Kukalang and Kilian - Khathaithum are also depicted simply as not a part of Kashmir. It is also is not just that India’s beloved pride, the Aksai Chin area in eastern Kashmir has been depicted as not a part of Kashmir. It is the manner in which they went about doing the aforesaid depiction taking recourse to stealth and the scale of the map. They have wantonly taken advantage of the ignorance of the oblivious Indians to cheat and trick Indians. By deceit and trickery, they are actually teasing the ignorant and oblivious Indians by saying “look, we will humiliate and insult you in every conceivable way and also get away with it and you miserable oblivious Indians will not even notice or realise …..” And we Indians are actually paying them to do it!
