Tintin;
Good post. Even better to see a Noam Chomsky reader.
I personally think that the Indians are less vulnerable than Americans in terms of media influence. One testament to that statement is the last election the country has thwarted. Point to ponder is that I believe democracy in India is much more developed than democracy in the U.S. at least. I wish you guys did not stop at that and had given Sonya Gandhi a chance. That would have created an ever exemplary record of political achievement barring race, color and country of birth.
In my opinion, crciket is more glorified because it is a team sport and average people can aspire to relate to that. The folks you have listed are all individual performers. Do you agree?
