Hi - we're not trying to be just anti-India or anti-Pakistan, nor just pro-India or pro-Pakistan. We're trying to encompass a wide range of views. One of the reasons we linked to that article is so that our readers could read multiple viewpoints and form conclusions of their own, especially since it is a sensitive topic. Our target audience is anyone who wishes to be informed and inspired by South Asian stories — and the complexity with which they come.

I understand and I do not want you to be pro-any-country. I will appreciate it if you are indeed neutral. And, linking to HuffPo article is just fine.

I was calling out to the fact that the links are posted as:(Economist, CNBC, Arundhati Roy in HuffPo) instead of just (Economist, CNBC, HuffPo) which implies that you're giving special credence to Ms. Roy who is not a neutral reporter in any meaning of the word. Which, in turn, leads me to be a little cognizant of your biases.

Great feedback - we will definitely be more neutral in linking out in the future
