Two days back 9 personnel of the 212 Batallion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) got martyred at Sukma, Chattisgarh safeguarding the security and integrity of the country. Two others got severely injured.

Today is 15^th March. There is no information about the names and photos of the martyrs and the injured.

Sadly the website of CRPF (http://crpf.nic.in/) is giving the 'latest' news dated 26^th February 2018. There is not a word or a photo about these martyrs.

We as a nation, must respect those who sacrifice their lives for the country.

Jai Hind!

'The New York Times writes an obituary of Madhubala & corrects its 50 year old mistake' - by K.J.S.Chatrath

It is not often that the influential The New York Times (NYT) admits at having made a mistake and then graciously makes up for it. This is exactly what has happened.

"The New York Times

Overlooked

Since 1851, obituaries in The New York Times have been dominated by white men.

Now, we’re adding the stories of 15 remarkable women."

And this list of 15 includes an Indian- Madhubala (1933-1969). Aisha Khan has written her obituary for the NYT under the heading : "A Bollywood legend whose tragic life mirrored Marilyn Monroe’s".

Do read it. ( https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/obituaries/overlooked-madhubala.html).

I have been a fan of Madhubala for decades. May I invite you to take a look at the photo articles on her that I have put up on the internet in the recent years:
