On the dedicated, dangerous ways of regional journalism in India - the bedrock on which so much of the reporting on the world’s largest democracy stands on.

[Dipankar Ghose @dipankarghose31]

How do you begin to write a tribute to a journalist, a friend, a brother? How do you describe him when nothing really contains him? The first time I met Mukesh Chandrakar was in December 2015, weeks after I had landed in Chhattisgarh as the Indian Express reporter there. (1/18)
