NYT Announces Indian English-language Site

NYT has announced that they are creating a subscription-free english-language site focusing on news for India. No other country is getting this type of special attention, only India. Gee - lucky us.

Personally, I think that this move by NYT may have been partly spurred along by the recent upsurge in mass-activism in India, as shown by the recent anti-corruption protests. They know that India is a lot more important than Egypt or Ukraine in the larger scheme of things, and want to keep a closer eye on us.

I was looking at Lydia Polgreen's latest piece, and it's interesting to note that even after NYT rubbished Hazare and the anti-corruption protests, they still want to draw attention to hunger strikers in separatist regions. How predictable.
