When Star News launched in 1998, it bought its programming from New Delhi Television (NDTV), an Indian-owned company, working out of a state-of-the-art production center in a converted movie theater in New Delhi.

Last week, Islamic guerrillas in Kashmir killed six Hindu pilgrims and eight Indian army officers, injured 60 more people and came within a grenade's throw of wiping out India's entire northern military command.
