    Indians are such a snowflakes when it comes to opinions about them or their country.

    I just went through the media coverage of Germany, Netherlands and Belgium and all the media surely uses “Terror” in some kind of way.

    The BBC did not? Why bother? Because BBC has a prejudice towards Modi and his grip on the media?

      It’s an unpopular opinion for sure, but I agree. The BBC and AP rarely use the word ‘terrorist’, and really, how is gunman minimising the horror of the deed? It’s a precise word, even if somewhat less emotionally charged than ‘terrorist’. The BBC even got into trouble for using militant in the Oct 7 attack, and the UK government is very pro Israel. I don’t think it’s Modi related.

      This is not to condone Pak-funded terrorism, which this undoubtedly was, nothing less than pure evil.
