"Director-General of Police K.P. Jain visited the temple on Tuesday and inspected the bandobust." , i was totally shocked to read this line in the online Edition of The Hindu. I always considered "The Hindu" as the top news publishing paper in south Indian. I had grown up reading the Hindu. Until today i haven't read a word in the real english version as Bandobust, after reading the word i googeled it to see wheather it was added to the English dictionary. This is wat i found out
bandobust: n. [Hindi] protection arranged and provided by police or other security personnel. Synonym: security cover. Popularity: 2 unique visits per day ...

I was suprised by the degradation of level of standards by a Top News publishing organisation, i felt that impact of indianisation into english. Things are so mixed/messed up and i can't understand why things are gone worse from bad. I feel that the day is not far away where we may read sentences like " this kind of kodumai hasn't happened anywhere except in our City".
