Dear Editor,
In the October 22 issue of the Guyana Chronicle, there is a headline story about a miracle at the Radha Krishna Mandir on Camp Street. Overseas Hindus were all so excited.
I am, however, extremely saddened and worried that a occurrence of this stature was not reported by Stabroek News; the Chronicle reported it four days after it actually happened.
One cannot help having that sneaky suspicion that this slighting by the news media in Guyana is because it was a Hindu phenomenon. Had something of this nature occurred in the Christian Church, you would have ensured that it became world news. Even if you do not believe, at least, you should let your readers decide.
Can I now ask you, please to do a report on this happening?
Yours faithfully,
Pt Harry Nauth
Editor’s note
We do not discriminate against any religion; we report on all of them.
Where “miracles” are concerned, we are in no position to decide when one has occurred, and would therefore not report a “miracle” per se, no matter which faith was involved. What we would generally be prepared to cover is when a “miracle”, real or supposed, attracts considerable public attention and crowds flock to the site of its occurrence.
