By Jeffrey Rudolph

Languages Of A Security State
By Nawaz Gul Qanungo

http://www.countercurrents.org/qanungo280910.htm

The language of most of the Indian media in covering Kashmir has not just been ill-informed but even insensitive. That, however, should not be a surprise when Maoists have long been branded and dismissed as a "menace".
