“Madrassa Guardian”

Time was when the Guardian was the favourite British newspaper of the Indian elite because of its historic support for Indian independence and its generally liberal-left collectivist outlook, which coincided with the ideology of India’s post-colonial governing classes until only recently (then they ditched socialist planning and the Indian economy is now growing at an unprecedented 9% a year as a result).
 
But the Guardian, it seems, is no longer the apple of New Delhi’s eye. Consider this from the venerable Times of India on Saturday:

“The Guardian is far to the Left of not just the Tories but also of New Labour, the paper’s constituency seemingly that of the “Londonistan” of mullahs and minarets. The Guardian used to be called the Manchester Guardian; today it might well be called, by fans and foes alike, the Madrassa Guardian.”
