What was more exciting for India? That an Indian was a joint recipient of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize with Pakistan or the chance to use your politics to slam the winners and find as many reasons as possible to prove that these winners were unworthy?

And yet both have been attacked almost equally in their respective nations.
