I have gone through a couple of newspapers both English and Oriya. Oriya news papers faintly report about the killing of Hindus. It says some people set fire in a village where residents are predominantly Hindus and they bolted doors of some houses while doing so. However English newspapers are mum on the same.
Why are the newspapers keeping mum in the issue? The answer I can think of is it does not suit their propaganda. They can sell idea like communal fanatic Hindus organizations are torturing the minorities. We are the watchdogs. The idea does not sell to say Hindus are attacked by minorities in a state where BJP is in power. So local papers reported the news half heartedly and English media, the so called (pseudo)secularist media, ignored it.
To put it in Gujarat Chief Minister Modi's word they have a different standard for a foreign missionary (Graham stone) and for the local Indians (the residents of Brahmini village). The former is a national shame where as the later is not news at all.
