The first one is a digitally altered page being wrongly presented as the front page of The Hindu on June 6, 1967. The second is the actual page released that day. This is what social media is capable of; it can even alter the front page of India's national English daily.

It is government of Colombia and not Columbia!

[Dhanraj Nathwani @DhanrajNathwani]

It is truly inspiring to see Anant and the #Vantara team stepping up to offer a humane solution for the 80 hippos in Colombia. As per Vantara’s founding philosophy that every life matters, Anant Ambani has appealed to the government of Columbia to save 80 hippos from death and offers a lifelong home at Vantara. He has offered scientific, operational and financial support to safely capture, translocate and provide lifelong care for these 80 animals at Vantara.

“I meet my God through my camera.”

That belief defined the life and work of Raghu Rai — a man who didn’t just photograph India, but revealed its soul.

The iconic photojournalist passed away at 83 and was laid to rest today in New Delhi.

Through decades of work, Rai turned everyday moments into timeless, powerful stories — capturing everything from conflict to quiet humanity with the same intensity and grace.

As the nation bids farewell, it remembers not just a photographer, but a storyteller who found divinity in every frame.

India’s folk, tribal and traditional music reflects the depth and diversity of our civilisational heritage.

Today, the Ministry of Culture signed an MoU with YouTube to take these rich traditions to a wider global audience. Through digital skilling, awareness of intellectual property rights, and pathways for monetisation, we are strengthening the ecosystem for our traditional artists.

This partnership will further energise India’s cultural economy and help our timeless musical traditions connect with the world.

Remembering Mr T

S. Thyagarajan or ‘Mr. T’ was a man of precision. He was thin and smartly dressed: shirts buttoned at the wrists and neatly tucked into pressed trousers, finished with polished shoes. He was as immaculately dressed as his writing.

Can I call him a mentor? Yes. He helped me navigate the intricacies of hockey writing and the inner workings of the federation. While I saw him often on overseas tours, we spent our most meaningful time in Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh, sharing evenings over drinks with Malaysian friends like the former Star writer, S. Ramaguru - who must be immensely saddened today.

I always looked forward to Mr. T’s stories in The Hindu because he never missed a detail. If six matches were played in a day at a major championship, he watched all six: minute by minute, half after half. While the rest of us would be halfway through our copy, he would already be finished. He was always the first to leave; his ‘bye’ was nothing more than a simple, dignified nod of the head.

Without a doubt, he made hockey writing impressionable. From local leagues and state championships to the Asian Games, World Cups, and Olympics, he was there. He was a fixture of the game, and his absence leaves a void, a large one.
