India's response to the Kashmiri earthquake is a really big deal.
Therefore, we are stunned to read this AP report: India Quake Survivors Complain of Slow Aid
Let's aggressively pick up our game, shall we?

I agree with Nitin. It is really silly on the part of Reuters to paddle the usual equal-equal theory. If you've watched CNN International's interview with Time's Alex Perry, you would have noticed the bias.
This chap said Indian Army is playing down the numbers inorder not to show a sign of weakness.
Laks, did catch the Alex Perry report - which was ridiculous on its face.
Nitin, you're right -- clearly we need to have a consistent national disaster approach applicable to all parts of India. Still, it makes sense to especially careful about Kashmir at this moment. Kashmiris should clearly see the value of their Indian-ness.
Best regards.

Good point. In the 1969 floods, the then West Pakistan had ignored the devastated East Pakistan. This heightened the sense of grievance in the latter. The rest is history.
This said, India has spent a lot on development in Kashmir since the 1950s. Much of the funds had been misappropriated by the National conference. There were leakages in development aid.
And after a slow start ... looks like we have things under control!
Now this is great news!
