Bias against Hindus

I expect the BBC to have bias against Hindus but not Asian Voice, that's the theme in "Something rotten in the State of India" editorial of 16th Sep 17 in my opinion. Linking Hindutva and her murder, a favorite theme used by western media to denigrate Hindus. Firstly nobody has claimed or been linked to her murder, if you want a religion linked to regular murder I can name it for you. Secondly she was anti Hindu and pro Naxal, not a journalist but an owner of a journal set up by her father. Her support for Naxals lead her into a feud with her brother and co-owner of the journal, leading to a court conviction against her.

For the world's largest democracy I see very little that is rotten in the State of India, it has more freedoms than most except for the blot of emergency under Indira Gandhi's term and as for what is a Hindu I quote wikipedia "Hindus have a a diversity of ideas, no ecclesiastical order, no unquestionable religious authorities, no governing body, no prophet(s) nor any binding holy book; Hindus can be polytheistic, pantheistic, monotheistic, monistic, agnostic, atheistic or humanist, hence arriving at a comprehensive definition is difficult.
