I read the following in “The Hindu”
It is obviously in our interest to be on the right side of the new forces that will emerge to prominence in Egypt. They will remember who supported them in their hour of history and who sat on the fence.
I am not a diplomat, I don’t know a lot of such things, but with a little bit common-sense (which I think I do have), I think that the author would be on the side of a rapist if the victim doesn’t have a way to get the justice (or in other words, the rapist is in power!).
Well, this issue need not be like an assault on a person. But then, I would think we could refrain from being involved rather than being just opportunistic. (Should India support a military coup against a democracy if the military side is going to get the power?)
I don’t think that a newspaper shall promote any article like that. Sure, the rest of the article might say something totally different. But.. honestly, I didn’t read it with much care, after seeing the above.
In case you want to read the opportunist article, go here.
Sands.
PS: In this specific case, people seem to be right and they also seem to be having a better future. But the latter shall not be the reason to support them.

Is this a surprise?
And as far as the rape victim incident is concerned, within South Asia, is it not the case?
I don't understand that last sentence of yours.
Anyhow, good to see you writing again, Dr:-)
There are many Opportunistic people around and they feel that in the present times if you have to move ahead u have to be that ways. Matter of personal choice I say. For some ppl self interest is the only need.
So how have u been?

@KT chechi..
Thanks for dropping by!
Regarding the eg., I consider 'rape' as one of the most evil things. So, I thought, an extreme eg. might put things in perspective.
LOL, the name of the Anon is Kajan:-)
Realized only after submitting that I hadn't put my name done.
