Are the Indian reporters more insensitive than reporters from other countries? Yes. It does appear that way. There are many examples of yellow journalism, needed sensationalism, or as I like to call it "the bollywoodization of news".

Right. I wrote a blog post about it here, and /u/gologologolo gave some excellent examples in a comment above.

Right. I wasn't in India at the time, but the most ludacris thing I saw was the TV media sharing details about the phone calls from the hostages (or people trapped) INSIDE the hotel, including exactly where they were hiding. The "bad guys" were obviously being fed information from the handles, and just walked towards the staircase where several people were hiding, and shot them all. (If I recall correctly, one of the people in that group survived.)
Yeah. The main issue here isn't that Nepal is frustrated with the Indian Media. But that the India Media has lost it's moral compass, and will stoop to any level (however low it is) for ratings and try to get a bigger share of the lucrative Indian TV ad budgets up for grabs.
