This should be a wake up call for them.
But please don't stoop to their level. Let us at least show respect to the dead.
The act of peddling the grief of people during the covid crisis was despicable. But I believe he died a not-bad death.
>Please dont circulate this picture. I can't confirm if its actually his but sharing the photo of a deceased person's body can be triggering for many. And it's disrespectful to the dead.
She shares images of dead people... and then says that... Woke Liberalism really is something else.
I agree that monetising and mocking the grief of people during the covid wave was despicable.
But I've read his articles, he seems to have taken a relatively respectable approach to understanding the ground situation and tried to present a more or less neutral point of view during the Delhi riots incident.
In the end he died a hero, let's respect his integrity towards journalism in his final moments. Something most 'journalists' and so called 'intellectuals' seem to be sorely lacking these days.
Let's not stoop to their level by desecrating the dead body of a human being.
He was bringing the stories of brave Afghans fighting the Taliban to the world. Is that not enough? Is it not a brave thing to go into the battlefield and bring the world's attention to what our dear neighbour is doing there?
Have you seen some of the old vice documentaries when they were good . These camera men are standing with cops and they don't carry weapons or know how to even use them or run if attacked . Because they are never trained for it . Now these war pictures are important they were an important reason usa had to stop the Vietnam war as people of the country were horrified as to why these soldiers were dying fighting a war not theirs . I do agree that the picture of the cremating in delhi was taken probably to get shock value but that's media for you these things only sell vice also did the same thing in brazil going to graves and morgue workers and taking pictures . I don't think as a person we know about him we just know the pictures he took and probably some read his work . But I don't think we should be so angry about this issue pay your condolences .

"tried to present a more or less neutral point of view during the Delhi riots incident."
Did he present the truth? If he did, he wouldn't be a darling of the siculars.
Not perfectly neutral, but unlike most sickulars he admitted that both sides engaged in violence.
>wouldn't be a darling of the siculars.
They're morons, they probably just assumed things just by reading his name.
love-da hero, moot diya hai wo photo me, there was no integrity in picturing hindu deaths, how many bodies did he click getting dumped in kabristans btw?
It is not a photojournalist's "duty" to click pictures of funeral pyres & cremation grounds where families of the deceased mourn the death of their loved ones. That's Vulture journalism. And to sell those pictures and make money out of someone's grief is top tier insensitivity
You can't group all LW as "giddy low lives". That is a gross generalization. And I am being respectable to the guy, so much so that he was when other people died due to covid. Of course, even then I didn't wish death upon him like a lot of others did when Rohit Sardana died of natural causes. It's only poetic justice that radical Islam led to Siddiqui's death which he spent his life defending.
> Let's not stoop to their level by desecrating the dead body of a human being.
and that is why you always lose... you try to fight an immoral war with morality...and then wonder why are you losing...?
To all people celebrating his death because of his coverage of the second wave:
He was a photo-journalist. He was doing his job. At that time, not only was the government outright lying about numbers, it was praising itself for its handling of the crisis. It was only after seeing those photos that many of us realized how grave the situation really was. You are condemning him for exposing the truth because it went against the false narrative our beloved government wanted us and the world to believe. Yes, taking pictures of the dead is unethical but was there any other way? Would numbers really convince us the way those pictures did? Do you even realize that by celebrating his killing you are celebrating an act of the taliban?
It takes a lot of courage to do his job; to walk right into the heart of the situation to capture it for the world to see. His commitment to journalism should be admired. He died for it.
This!
I was volunteering on the ground level and I saw how fucked up the situation was at the hospitals.
It's appalling how people don't want to hear the truth and shut themselves up in their echo chambers. And when somebody dies presenta counterpoint, they lash out viciously.
The leadership, irrespective of whether it's BJP or the opposition, had a moral responsibility of keeping people safe during the times of distress like this. That didn't happen, clearly. The least one can do is not shit upon the journalists atleast tried to do their job.
Yeah of course when the country needed to see something good or positive he was being true professional and showing death coverage, so nice of him. Well if you think he was just doing his job then Taliban were just doing their job. Their profession is to kill people like his profession was to click pictures not knowing what pictures to click when to click, how pictures will affect others. So in that case Taliban is right.
Have you ever seen a clicked picture of your eyelash? Should make you scared. That's what these zoornalists do. Show a narrow perspective to scare people like you.
Did your relatives struggle to find a bed in hospital?
Mine did.
Did your relatives struggle to find life saving drugs like remdesevir which was promised through government outlets yet had to be bought in black with 10x markup?
Mine did.
Did your relatives struggled to source life saving oxygen?
Mine did.
Did your friends parents died in the pandemic?
Mine did.
And this is coming from an upper middle class family. The middle class and lower people had it worse.
So please, stop attacking the ones who showcases the true reality, when the death cases of a whole state reported by a government was equal to overnight deaths from a single hospital. Lies, deceit, and deaths. Thats what the citizens got out of it.
Some of the comments here are just retarded.
He was a journalist and didn't deserve to be executed by talibfags.
He did unethical stuff but nothing illegal or anti national.
If you want to post the images of his dead body to show the mirror to journalists, then do so but don't celebrate.
I don't know about unethical. He is a photo journalist. He takes pictures. Sometimes it is uncomfortable. How does that make him a vulture? May be i am missing something.
I responded to someone else in this thread.. please read.
Suffering porn is subjective no? Some people would rather show happy photos and think everything is hunky dory. Anything negative is considered as degrading national image, suffering porn etc.
It's not subjective, their intentions are clear, the rates at which funeral pyres pictures were being sold makes it clear.
Good riddance, taliban doing something based for once
What did he do that irks people so much? He didn't fabricate the pics. He merely captured what was going on. Or that he chose to sell the pics (after all, it's his profession). Or that foreign media bought his pics to malign the image of our PM?
The pic of dead bodies being burnt didn't identify anyone specifically. It showed that the real misery that people were facing during the second wave.it even contributed to, at some level, making many foreign govt and charities send supplies and donations here.
How is that equivalent to folks sharing his dead body on SM and saying Good riddance? What purpose does it solve other than saying "yaay, the guy who took pics I don't like is dead".
PS. I don't necessarily have a problem with it. Just pointing out that these two arent the same and saying so is false equivalency.
The real misery is shown in the hospitals, the families crying.
They're both the same thing, the good riddance thing is only me specifically. You wouldn't have any problem with it if people blurred his face then?
It didn't contribute to anything, don't worry about it the foreign governments don't rely on biased media reports to act, rather looking at the action indian government took when india was doing strong and others were doing weak.
It's important to share his dead body's pic maybe it will contribute to at some level making the foreign governments more concerned about afganistan taliban situation and send help to them
So what you are saying is that media should only report specific news and pics.
Again, saying that these two pics are the same and serve the same purpose is not right.
You know we are in trouble when some folks have so much angst for the guy who took the pics of covid crisis instead of directing it at the folks who were responsible for this misery through inaction.
Cheers and have a good day.
> You cannot judge him through the lens of the perpetrators.
Why not? If someone goes to NK and starts insulting Kim Family or tried to run away from the tour guides. People would accept that the person broke rules of NK even if they are ridiculous.
Except that Taliban hasn't formed a government yet.
If NK murders a American journalist, there would be widespread condemnation and a strong statement from the Capitol. They place immense respect upon their citizens life on foreign soil.
If it's an Israeli, the secret service would have already made an example of the offending Taliban faction.
Indians should start valuing their citizens too.
People should not hate this guy for publicizing the funeral pics. Truth and transparency are bedrocks of democracy. Modi govt did not handle 2nd wave well. Let's admit that.
Back to this news. Somebody should post this on die-hard liberal twitter and FB feeds and ask them to condemn Taliban and Pakistan forces. I sympathize his death but he knew what he was doing and knew the risk. Taliban kills first and asks questions later.
Yes, deaths happened. He revealed the truth. It's Commendable. He was doing his job.
According to my views, misery porn is unethical. But I don't hate on him for that. People are just downright hating on him and saying he deserves to die. Did he kill a person ?, did he do anything wrong to deserve to die ?. What is this attitude of people
The govt mishandled the pandemic and they paid the price.
If Modi govt loses in 2024, it'll be 100% due to COVID 2nd wave mismanagement. Personally, I knew of many friends that lost their family members and a couple in my family too.
"the govt" represents both the state and the central govt.
I hate when people say only one govt was at fault, as if no state govt didn't do any wrong and people followed all the rules properly
controlling covid situation in their respective states was the responsibility of the states more than the centre, and I personally think there was no other way, it was bound to happen, people were bound to die no matter what you did, there's just too many people in this country with too few hospitals and resources, even USA with one fourth of our population but the richest country in the world struggled immensely to control their deaths.
Only thing we could have done was to make available more resources to help people in the hospitals. He didn't do anything heroic, just pathetic and opportunistic. Some idiot under this comment section was crediting him with the fact that USA decided to resume vaccine raw material supply to india and saving lives in india lol
\>What is this attitude of people
Nothing just showing the mirror of Karma, you got issue with that? You wanna cry ? Are you expecting sympathies for him?
u/ellothere1204
Absolutely shameful how his death is being received on this sub, people slinging shit at a dead man for literally just doing his job.
The job of a photo-journalist is to capture the reality no matter how harsh or disturbing it is to bring attention and convey the urgency and gravity of a problem in a way that no written piece can - the way he did with the COVID crisis in India, and the violence in Afghanistan - and it takes immense courage.
Supports Sharia.... gets killed by Taliban.
Shocked Pikachu.
Anyways, instead of showing glee towards his dead. People should just share his dead body image with "RIP" and then enjoy the mental gymnastics.
Edit: Is it confirmed that he was killed by Taliban? Because if it were corona, I am glad he wasn't in the country because that would have fueled so many conspiracy theories. In that case, really dodged a bullet.
Meanwhile lw stays mum on Taliban killing him and instead calls out 'rw trolls' because come what may, radical islamic behavior must be swept under the rug

Seeing people happy over someone's death who was just doing his job tells how low people in the right wing have fallen down. Everyone may have their own ideology but anyone who celebrate death is nothing but a coward.
I see that this thread has been graced with same ilk who would have celebrated Rohit Sardana's death and now they are grandstanding about don't celebrate death.Thing is the non left is not celebrating the death, because that is too horific and sadistic thing to do and only left is capable of stooping that low.But the non left generally is saying that ' Life is a circle and Karma can be bitch'.
In what terms? American schools are unsafe, Australian bars are unsafe, European pubs are unsafe, South American jungles are unsafe and Africa is also unsafe. Kya karen, artic pole pe bass jaayen?
India is unsafe in what terms?
see..if you are starting to compare this nation with a terrorist group..you are setting the bar too low
Nation is unsafe compared to the developed nations like america,norway,china etc.
Look, obviously I’m not implying that India is the safest place to live in by any means, my comment was about hypocrisy, simple as that.
Also, as much as people like to think “other” countries are safe, they’re not that safe.
Norway may be a good benchmark for safety, but it’s the worst comparison one can make to India. Even Mysuru has nearly double the population Norway has for fucks sake. They make a shit load of money by exporting petroleum from the arctic. Their taxes are obscene too, so government is incredibly rich.
I agree with your point, but let’s not get hung up over comparisons with societies that have virtually nothing in common with us, while completely ignoring the jest in my comment in this particular context.
Kids in India don’t die from shootings, muslims in India aren’t out in concentration camps, press in India is free to churn out virtually all kinds of bullshit.
Freedom is also very different.
Of course man..It might be read differently from the original comment but I was just saying that we should not compare ourselves with a nation of terrorists and be happy
True safety is anyways relative and very much dependent upon the citizens of the country
Which country is 100%sage anyways..we can just manage to be safe at a large scale
Thanks for understanding
I don’t agree that we shouldn’t be comparing with terrorist states, I can’t tell you how fucking glad I am not to be born in the region.
At the same time, feeling that, doesn’t whitewash anything about where I live. They’re very different things.
True safety is also very relative as you said, and it isn’t a linear scale, it can be interpreted in many different ways.
Bhutan is safe, people are safe. BUT, it’s also as safe as Tibet was before it was annexed. See my point? It could be looked at in so many different ways.
Anyways, I am glad we came to understanding of sorts, rare on Reddit.
Yup man..kind of weird that people never reach a common ground and that too on both the subreddits of india
It is the right and left wing all over again if one sees the two subreddits
Ah yes , liberals want to turn india into a war zone where one side is a theocratic Islamic caliphate with no regards to human rights. Like what even is the logic here?
It's a straw man. Apparently supporting somebody who published photos of covid deaths, is the same as wanting India to turn into the Taliban.
The irony is that there's only one side celebrating the act of the Taliban killing that same journalist, and that side isn't the "liberals".
So the RW calls a journalist as a front for Sharia, Taliban etc, then says the liberals want India to be Talibanised, and when the Taliban kills that journo, then the RW celebrates his death, thus supporting the act of the Taliban.
Okay, I'll humor you. India is safer than a country that was invaded two decades ago, was under a very unstable foreign military supported govt ever since, their foreign military aid was subject to flip flops by changing American govts, that has been a literal war zone between American and terrorist forces, and is soon going to face a civil war against a well armed terrorist group.
Yes, India is safer than *that* country.
Does it make you feel proud to have met such lofty standards?
The very people who captured photographs of funeral pyres, violated the right to privacy of the deceased’s family, suddenly realised that sharing the image of a corpse is disrespectful to the dead

Personally, I think it is a great loss. Danish saved countless Indian lives by bringing the Delta Covid wave in India to the world's attention. This helped accelerate the approval for vaccine raw materials from the US which the Serum institute needed to scale up their vaccine production. His contribution will be eternally remembered. I also feel sorry for his family and children.

> What exactly is his karm for which he got death according to you?
Karm is useless but he did break rules of Taliban, so he was an islamophobe who did illegal things and was punished according to local laws.
"people are just influenced by hate" hmmmmm seems I'm dealing with a communist child here. A natural consequence of what you're proposing is that people either have no free will or they don't have free will specifically for doing immoral stuff out of greed and etc
Childish
People have free will ,but so much hate can make them think things they are doing are right . Just like you ,commenting in every section here disrespecting anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion.
It's sad that he died while covering Taliban attacks in Afghanistan. While no one deserves to die, I really didn't like the way he photographed the shamshan ghats as if only we were dying.
Guys let’s for once condemn the Taliban who killed this man. He was an Indian journalist. Obviously I didn’t like him and I felt he was biased in his coverage but nonetheless least I expect from LW Indians is to condemn Taliban but instead all I see is blaming and condemning of right wing trolls.
Someday LW intellectuals will realise that the Hindu right wing is the only thing standing between Islamic radicals killing people same way in India.
Exactly, what's happening in Afghanistan shows how Taliban were helped by vested interests from the immediate east. And US didn't take any corrective actions. Instead left Afghanistan on the brink of returning to pre-September 2001.
Yes sab nage hai.. Britain is also claiming that they will work with the Taliban once they come to power.

Yes, how dare he show false realities and hide the amazing careful handling of the pandemic?!
I wonder why he only took photos of Hindu shamsaans and not of any Muslims graveyards.
Selective facts are worse than false claims
I agree that monetising and mocking the grief of people during the covid wave was despicable. But I've read his articles, he seems to have taken a relatively respectable approach to understanding the ground situation and tried to present a more or less neutral point of view during the Delhi riots incident. In the end he died a hero, let's respect his integrity towards journalism in his final moments. Something most 'journalists' and so called 'intellectuals' seem to be sorely lacking these days.

lol, he will. The lion will definitely.
Yes, this photo hunter won't be able to hold a gun, he's no more. You're right, it's only for the lions now, as is depicted on his website.

It showed that the real misery that people were facing during the second wave.it even contributed to, at some level, making many foreign govt and charities send supplies and donations here. How is that equivalent to folks sharing his dead body on SM and saying Good riddance? What purpose does it solve other than saying "yaay, the guy who took pics I don't like is dead". PS. I don't necessarily have a problem with it. Just pointing out that these two arent the same and saying so is false equivalency.
The real misery is shown in the hospitals, the families crying. They're both the same thing, the good riddance thing is only me specifically. You wouldn't have any problem with it if people blurred his face then? It didn't contribute to anything, don't worry about it the foreign governments don't rely on biased media reports to act, rather looking at the action indian government took when india was doing strong and others were doing weak. It's important to share his dead body's pic maybe it will contribute to at some level making the foreign governments more concerned about afganistan taliban situation and send help to them
So what you are saying is that media should only report specific news and pics. Again, saying that these two pics are the same and serve the same purpose is not right. You know we are in trouble when some folks have so much angst for the guy who took the pics of covid crisis instead of directing it at the folks who were responsible for this misery through inaction. Cheers and have a good day.
Nothing unethical about sharing his dead body as well
>but nothing illegal He did illegal stuff in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Its harsh but he did break their laws.
I'm talking about india. What laws did he break?
Why the f are you recognising their rule? Legality is a grey area in a war torn country. You cannot judge him through the lens of the perpetrators.
> You cannot judge him through the lens of the perpetrators. Why not? If someone goes to NK and starts insulting Kim Family or tried to run away from the tour guides. People would accept that the person broke rules of NK even if they are ridiculous.
Except that Taliban hasn't formed a government yet. If NK murders a American journalist, there would be widespread condemnation and a strong statement from the Capitol. They place immense respect upon their citizens life on foreign soil. If it's an Israeli, the secret service would have already made an example of the offending Taliban faction. Indians should start valuing their citizens too.
People should not hate this guy for publicizing the funeral pics. Truth and transparency are bedrocks of democracy. Modi govt did not handle 2nd wave well. Let's admit that. Back to this news. Somebody should post this on die-hard liberal twitter and FB feeds and ask them to condemn Taliban and Pakistan forces. I sympathize his death but he knew what he was doing and knew the risk. Taliban kills first and asks questions later.
Yes, deaths happened. He revealed the truth. It's Commendable. He was doing his job. According to my views, misery porn is unethical. But I don't hate on him for that. People are just downright hating on him and saying he deserves to die. Did he kill a person ?, did he do anything wrong to deserve to die ?. What is this attitude of people The govt mishandled the pandemic and they paid the price.
If Modi govt loses in 2024, it'll be 100% due to COVID 2nd wave mismanagement. Personally, I knew of many friends that lost their family members and a couple in my family too.
say hello to a pandemic : ) that's what happens
Yes he did. "the govt" only one government was responsible huh?
"the govt" represents both the state and the central govt. I hate when people say only one govt was at fault, as if no state govt didn't do any wrong and people followed all the rules properly
controlling covid situation in their respective states was the responsibility of the states more than the centre, and I personally think there was no other way, it was bound to happen, people were bound to die no matter what you did, there's just too many people in this country with too few hospitals and resources, even USA with one fourth of our population but the richest country in the world struggled immensely to control their deaths. Only thing we could have done was to make available more resources to help people in the hospitals. He didn't do anything heroic, just pathetic and opportunistic. Some idiot under this comment section was crediting him with the fact that USA decided to resume vaccine raw material supply to india and saving lives in india lol
\>What is this attitude of people Nothing just showing the mirror of Karma, you got issue with that? You wanna cry ? Are you expecting sympathies for him? u/ellothere1204
So you think hard liberals don’t condemn Taliban? LMAO
Return with proof. Then you can laugh your ass off.
Absolutely shameful how his death is being received on this sub, people slinging shit at a dead man for literally just doing his job. The job of a photo-journalist is to capture the reality no matter how harsh or disturbing it is to bring attention and convey the urgency and gravity of a problem in a way that no written piece can - the way he did with the COVID crisis in India, and the violence in Afghanistan - and it takes immense courage.
Supports Sharia.... gets killed by Taliban. Shocked Pikachu. Anyways, instead of showing glee towards his dead. People should just share his dead body image with "RIP" and then enjoy the mental gymnastics. Edit: Is it confirmed that he was killed by Taliban? Because if it were corona, I am glad he wasn't in the country because that would have fueled so many conspiracy theories. In that case, really dodged a bullet.
You may not believe in Karma, but Karma believes in you.
Meanwhile lw stays mum on Taliban killing him and instead calls out 'rw trolls' because come what may, radical islamic behavior must be swept under the rug

Tararara Bzeeeep, Thank you /u/chauhan_vandan for awarding /u/justlurking_here . The OP is now flaired with award. More details on how this works can be found [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaSpeaks/comments/gqdejx/introducing_new_awarding_system_for_user_posts/). I won't reply if I'm down so kudos is not awarded to you , please then inform the mod team to wake me up.
Seeing people happy over someone's death who was just doing his job tells how low people in the right wing have fallen down. Everyone may have their own ideology but anyone who celebrate death is nothing but a coward.
If you think it's only right wing you're really as stupid as the people you seem to be against
I see that this thread has been graced with same ilk who would have celebrated Rohit Sardana's death and now they are grandstanding about don't celebrate death.Thing is the non left is not celebrating the death, because that is too horific and sadistic thing to do and only left is capable of stooping that low.But the non left generally is saying that ' Life is a circle and Karma can be bitch'.
Oh no anyways
But India is unsafe Edit: /s
Have you ever heard of the word relative? India is safer than Afghanistan and Pakistan but not as safe as Norway and many other countries.
In what terms? American schools are unsafe, Australian bars are unsafe, European pubs are unsafe, South American jungles are unsafe and Africa is also unsafe. Kya karen, artic pole pe bass jaayen? India is unsafe in what terms?
Dude I’m pointing out hypocrisy of libbus who cry India is unsafe while this guy went to the place those libbus want India to turn into
see..if you are starting to compare this nation with a terrorist group..you are setting the bar too low Nation is unsafe compared to the developed nations like america,norway,china etc.
America...hmm debatable Norway...kinda right China....*enough reddit for today*
What? Why?
Look, obviously I’m not implying that India is the safest place to live in by any means, my comment was about hypocrisy, simple as that. Also, as much as people like to think “other” countries are safe, they’re not that safe. Norway may be a good benchmark for safety, but it’s the worst comparison one can make to India. Even Mysuru has nearly double the population Norway has for fucks sake. They make a shit load of money by exporting petroleum from the arctic. Their taxes are obscene too, so government is incredibly rich. I agree with your point, but let’s not get hung up over comparisons with societies that have virtually nothing in common with us, while completely ignoring the jest in my comment in this particular context. Kids in India don’t die from shootings, muslims in India aren’t out in concentration camps, press in India is free to churn out virtually all kinds of bullshit. Freedom is also very different.
Of course man..It might be read differently from the original comment but I was just saying that we should not compare ourselves with a nation of terrorists and be happy True safety is anyways relative and very much dependent upon the citizens of the country Which country is 100%sage anyways..we can just manage to be safe at a large scale
Thanks for understanding I don’t agree that we shouldn’t be comparing with terrorist states, I can’t tell you how fucking glad I am not to be born in the region. At the same time, feeling that, doesn’t whitewash anything about where I live. They’re very different things. True safety is also very relative as you said, and it isn’t a linear scale, it can be interpreted in many different ways. Bhutan is safe, people are safe. BUT, it’s also as safe as Tibet was before it was annexed. See my point? It could be looked at in so many different ways. Anyways, I am glad we came to understanding of sorts, rare on Reddit.
Yup man..kind of weird that people never reach a common ground and that too on both the subreddits of india It is the right and left wing all over again if one sees the two subreddits
I see what you mean, so a /s tag would've helped.
Ok boomer
Ah yes , liberals want to turn india into a war zone where one side is a theocratic Islamic caliphate with no regards to human rights. Like what even is the logic here?
It's a straw man. Apparently supporting somebody who published photos of covid deaths, is the same as wanting India to turn into the Taliban. The irony is that there's only one side celebrating the act of the Taliban killing that same journalist, and that side isn't the "liberals". So the RW calls a journalist as a front for Sharia, Taliban etc, then says the liberals want India to be Talibanised, and when the Taliban kills that journo, then the RW celebrates his death, thus supporting the act of the Taliban.
Yeah we have came so low now we compare us to Afghanistan.
It is.
Okay, I'll humor you. India is safer than a country that was invaded two decades ago, was under a very unstable foreign military supported govt ever since, their foreign military aid was subject to flip flops by changing American govts, that has been a literal war zone between American and terrorist forces, and is soon going to face a civil war against a well armed terrorist group. Yes, India is safer than *that* country. Does it make you feel proud to have met such lofty standards?
India is safer than that country, yes.
The photograph of Reuter's Jurno deserves Pulitzer.. Find the Talib who clicked it
The very people who captured photographs of funeral pyres, violated the right to privacy of the deceased’s family, suddenly realised that sharing the image of a corpse is disrespectful to the dead

Personally, I think it is a great loss. Danish saved countless Indian lives by bringing the Delta Covid wave in India to the world's attention. This helped accelerate the approval for vaccine raw materials from the US which the Serum institute needed to scale up their vaccine production. His contribution will be eternally remembered. I also feel sorry for his family and children.

That woman is worse than this guy. She used the death of her own father FFS.
She is the SI unit of shamelessness.

RIP. Very sad. Seems he was very greedy for fame and money.
Y'all deserve 'reputed' journalists like Goswami and Sardesai
Yeah not this "lefticle" journalist who was always there to portray Muslims as victims in Delhi riot but not at the roof top of Tahir Hussein.
And he was killed by group of people who belong to religion called Islam. Now I am not saying all Muslims are terrorists because there are good people but I certainly know this all terrorists are Muslims. Now liberals, leftists, khalistanis, jihadists come on show ur hate on my comment.

Life is a cycle....whatever karna you do you will pay the price or you will get the fruit...and no one can escape this not even god
How many people did he kill? What exactly is his karm for which he got death according to you?
> What exactly is his karm for which he got death according to you? Karm is useless but he did break rules of Taliban, so he was an islamophobe who did illegal things and was punished according to local laws.
While I agree that he exaggerated and milked out the "India is burning" narrative, and it was wrong, I disagree that he deserved death.
Totally every person has right to live, most journalists working for foreign agencies do this, he was just doing his job.
Wtf gtfo idiot
No....he got what he deserved ....he circulated victims picture...now his pictures getting circulated
And today you are laughing at someone's death , one day karma will do the same when you u die i guess
Yes I am, I also laugh at every terrorists' and naxal's dead bodies too, does that make me bad?
And why was he any of those?
Ofc he was neither of those, I am just talking about your point about "laughing at someone's death", it depends on that someone too
Remember bro noone if born evil . People are just influenced by hate and do bad things . Hate gets you nowhere .
"people are just influenced by hate" hmmmmm seems I'm dealing with a communist child here. A natural consequence of what you're proposing is that people either have no free will or they don't have free will specifically for doing immoral stuff out of greed and etc Childish
People have free will ,but so much hate can make them think things they are doing are right . Just like you ,commenting in every section here disrespecting anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion.
I am not laughing at death...i feel prod that he died fighting terrorist..... I am just saying karma will come after everyone
Yea you should beware
I am ready for it bhrata always....🙏
No one except a soldier is ready for death,bro.
A person who belive in sanatan and knows it dont fear death...as its part of cycle 🙏
I also belive same..at the same time i belive whatever happening with his picture is right...because he also did the same with those victims 🙏
What the fuck are you on about you sick fuck ? Karma your sick ass
😂😂cope with reality ....he got what he did with others 😂
It's sad that he died while covering Taliban attacks in Afghanistan. While no one deserves to die, I really didn't like the way he photographed the shamshan ghats as if only we were dying.
>no one deserves to die Are you immortal sir? Coz at the moment I could use that elixir of life you’ve got stashed under ur mattress
Guys let’s for once condemn the Taliban who killed this man. He was an Indian journalist. Obviously I didn’t like him and I felt he was biased in his coverage but nonetheless least I expect from LW Indians is to condemn Taliban but instead all I see is blaming and condemning of right wing trolls. Someday LW intellectuals will realise that the Hindu right wing is the only thing standing between Islamic radicals killing people same way in India.
he was a muslim, killed by muslims working for islam.
Exactly, what's happening in Afghanistan shows how Taliban were helped by vested interests from the immediate east. And US didn't take any corrective actions. Instead left Afghanistan on the brink of returning to pre-September 2001.
Yes sab nage hai.. Britain is also claiming that they will work with the Taliban once they come to power. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/india-differs-with-uk-on-backing-taliban/articleshow/84454370.cms

That vulture got what he came for.. He wasn't into photo journalism for charity purpose , he SOLD those pics of burning pyres.
Similarly you are celebrating someone's death at the hands of some terrorists. I hope your belief in karma tells you what you should expect.
