So how did the Western media get it so wrong about The Kerala Story? There are two reasons. First, the so-called liberal media in the West has a deep-rooted bias against Hindus. From the colonial era onwards, the country has been a metaphor for poverty, slums, violence, and chaos. Also, blaming Hindus while ignoring the crimes of other groups is the Western media’s default position. In January 1948, when Mohandas Gandhi was assassinated, the headline in the New York Times was “Gandhi Killed by A Hindu.”[11] Even when Indians achieve something spectacularly successful, the reaction in the West has been of snide condescension. For instance, in 2014, when India became the first nation to reach Mars in the first attempt, the New York Times published a cartoon showing an Indian farmer with a cow knocking on the door of the elite space club.[12]
