[edit] Indian Cristiane Amanpour

I think the term "Indian Christian Amanpour" smacks of an overtly western worldview. A whole lot of people don't know who Christian Amanpour is and a whole lot don't think Amanpour is a good journalist. To keep the narrative neutral and not biased to a specific worldview, I suggest deletion of this line.

[edit] Prabha Dutt

I have added citation needed tag . If she really "extensively" covered the war , then she must be a very brave woman considering that she gave birth on 18th December 1971 .Bharatveer 15:57, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Its most likely to be 1965 war.Bharatveer 07:02, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

I would request anybody who can upload images to upload a suitable one for this page. Thanks. Rajatjghai 17:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elitist Page-3 journalist

POV: I think she is an elitist page-3 journalist (actually most of English/Hindi Indian electronic news Media program/journalist are quite elitist in nature) and 'We the People' is a very elitist program e.g. when it discusses 'Women in Indian Military' the whole focus of debate as well as hers is on officer posts not on non-officer category role/posts, debate on job reservation focuses on higher rank posts only. Same goes for most of the other debates as well. I haven't seen it discussing bigger issues like 'Naxal problem', 'Indian farming scenario', 'Hindu-Muslim divide', 'Sachar Committee' etc I wish to put this in criticism section but most probably it will attract POV deletion, may be someone else can put this in Neutral language.
