Gifting teachers: A token of respect or another business trend

This refers to Teachers’ day celebrations. Of course, teachers are the builders of a nation and without their role we can’t expect a positive change in the society. But what has of late been observed is quite disappointing. Earlier we used to pay our love and respect towards our teachers through words More

Shameful this

The Financial Times group in London has decided to confer the 'FDI Asian Personality of the Year 2009’ on Narendra Modi. It is well known and documented by over 30 human rights fact finding reports that he was personally responsible for the communal carnage that occurred in Gujarat in 2002. Even today More

GK Supplements

This refers to the Ramadhan Special issue of Greater Kashmir. It was indeed an appreciable work. The earlier supplements regarding the deteriorating health of our water bodies were eye-opener for public in general and the authorities in particular. Hats-off to GK Team. Zubair Ahmad Janba

Sheer bias

When a noted historian like Fida Hassnain writes something about a great leader, statesman and scholar like Aga Syed Ali Safvi, it has to be taken bit seriously.
