Why Was the India Tragedy Not More Widely Reported?

Over to You

Available for over a year

A listener in the UK is asking why a tragedy in an Indian Hospital which left more than 100 children dead, was not more widely reported. Ghalib Khan tells Rajan Datar he believes it would have received more attention if it had happened in the UK or America. After a discussion on Over To You a few weeks ago, several listeners have been in touch to give their views on whether the BBC World Service should continue to use the word ‘Tribe.’ And, Arthur from Kenya is the next listener to take part in new feature - How I Hear It - where he gets to say what he really thinks about the BBC World Service.
