Talk of war on the Indian airwaves after a bombing in Kashmir. Plus, journalism and justice in Northern Ireland.
Narratives of rage and revenge in India
Last week, a suicide bomber killed 40 Indian soldiers in Kashmir. Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), an armed group based in Pakistan, has claimed responsibility for what has been called the worst attack of its kind in decades.
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government in New Delhi accusing the Pakistani government of backing the group, many Indian news outlets, not content with simply pointing the finger at Islamabad, are now calling for a crackdown on so-called "anti-nationals" and "terrorist sympathisers" at home.
