Good for Sepia Mutiny, but unfortunate for the Hindus of Georgia. No one needs bad press like this. I wonder it'll affect the building of other temples in the area.</p> Wow, that’s pretty unfortunate. Good for Sepia Mutiny, but unfortunate for the Hindus of Georgia.

Most bloggers in India felt ashamed because we were so powerless.

Happy to know Sepia Mutiny is stronger. Yes, Satyameva Jayate !

Why should Amardeep and Abhi have to spend a SINGLE DOLLAR to defend something as ridiculous as this? Let us assume they were taken to court. Shouldn't Amardeep be able to countersue them for expenses because of a frivolous lawsuit? I know this never went to court. But if it did, I wish we had judges who would have thrown it out right away. The facts are clear. Amardeep saw the story in a mainstream media outlet and made observations which are based off of that source. He did not pretend to ADD any facts. but he is free to express any opinion he wants based on the facts he read about.</p> I don” t get it.

When institutions start intimidating the media (in ANY form) into backing down for their own interests, the public loses. Good on you for sticking to your guns. I wish I had you as a model when I dropped out of journalism, mainly because I didn't see these ideals being played out in mainstream media. And yet blogs take crap for being <a href="http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/towerticker/2009/11/feel-free-to-post-this-to-your-virtual-refrigerator.html">"subversive" and "stealing content"</a>.</p> Excellent work.
