Sigh, another New York Times article about India, another slanted look at everything that's wrong with India.
I hope Somini Sengupata can sleep well at night knowing she's making her living exploiting the very worst Western stereotypes about her own country.
There is a great blog post detailing all the lazy assumptions she has made in the past that directly feeds into these stereotypes.
I mean, I'm not saying that you should whitewash the many, many issues facing the country, but when all your reporting falls on one side of the coin, it gets tiresome pretty quickly.
