In reply to Denise. Thank you for your comment, Denise. India is quite diverse and vast and therefore not many people know everything about it. In fact, we as citizens don't know everything about India as well. On the other hand, there's plenty of fake media content that circulates on the Web so both I and Sarah focus exclusively on India. I'm glad that you liked the post.

Interesting read as I know very little about your India, but have heard many wonderful things from my friends who recently spent quite a bit of time there. And red doors are always a perfect entry for Norm’s Thursday Doors!!!

In reply to janet. Thank you, Janet, for your comments. In India, some of the top media houses are completely unreliable. It is unfortunate to see them working hand in glove with politicians and top industrialists to brainwash the common man. However, there are many regional and independent newspaper firms like this one that have managed to be the voice of the people without any bias. This gives us the hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel and the fight must go on.

I agree with Dan. I love the colorful building and the doors and I enjoyed reading about the history of the paper. What bothers me most about non-newspaper news as well as much of what’s in the papers that still exist, is that opinion and fact are usually presented as the same thing. Papers used to have an opinion page or pages and the rest of the news was reported relatively free of bias. Now it’s much harder to tell which is which and it most often seems to be opinion presented as fact.

This is a wonderful entry for Thursday Doors, Sharukh! I love the building, the doors and the history. You did a great job “reporting” the history of this building. This is also a curious link to my area. The Hartford Courant (the daily paper we read), is the oldest continuously published newspaper in the United States.
