What a Goopi*

One British daily, while reporting about Mahatma Gandhi's death anniversary erroneously displayed a photograph of Ben Kingslay (of Gandhi fame) with the report. Though that mistake can vaguely be justified, I couldn't explain how Rediff.com could confuse Tapen Chattopadhyay with Ranjit Mallick. This is absolutely hilarious and an example of callous journalism at the same time!
(* Goopi is a Bengali slang often used to denote an act of mischief)
