An eye opener to us Indians. Do we suffer from the syndrome 'India is Delhi and Delhi is India'. It is same in many other fields including news coverage in the country. To a large extent this has been due to the Television media - most of whom have a major presence in Delhi and hence give more news from Delhi.
