India's daughter is raped, facts are suppressed, and her family is also excluded from the right to her funeral. This is coercive and unreasonable. I know, those of us in the News world are focused on Trump and the virus. But this incident at Hathras in Uttar Pradesh is worth your time and answer. One more Nirbhaya...

India’s media universe is enormous, perhaps the world's largest: Over 17,000 newspapers, 1 lakh magazines, 178 news channels on television, and numerous websites in dozens of languages.

Only a day ago, International Youth Day was celebrated. Social media, print media and electronic media were filled with inspirational messages and news with a popular message that young people are the future of every country.

I am writing this article with the hope that after reading it, all of us together fight for the rights of our children and take it to a positive, logical conclusion. A misleading situation still remains regarding exams. In view of the present Covid-19 pandemic, all government and non-government institutes, private institutions, schools, colleges are...

India and the entire world are going through strange times. There has been turmoil at all levels – economic, social and political. The situation has sadly gone askew. The entire world is going through an era no one would ever have imagined. An unknown microscopic virus took over the entire world and paralysed science,...

Even countries with well-established...

तेरे दामन में तेरा चाँद है तो होगा ऐ फ़लक, पर देख तेरे सितारे मेरी महफ़िल में उतर आए हैं। क्या अपना पर्यावरण बचाने, अपने किसान भाइयों की मदद करने, किसी हुनरमंद को मौका देने और अपनी बेटियों को बचाने और पढ़ाने की जिम्मेदारी सिर्फ सरकार, न जी ओ और कॉर्पोरेट्स की हैं? आज यह बैठ कर...
