Where are the ToI people in this?
Cho Ramaswamy
Cho Ramaswamy
Jaideep Bose – sold his soul at ToI.
The gold goes to M.J. Akbar.
The silver to Shekhar Gupta.
The bronze is shared by T.J.S. George and Kumar Ketkar.
I would consider N Ram the best for his clarity on issues of national importance, though the clout of a newspaper editor has waned in today’s corporate environment.
LOL – NRam, a card carrying member of the Indian Left, and a stooge of the Chinese communists, for his “clarity” on national issues? Speaks volumes..
Shekhar Gupta is completely bik chuka to the Congress…a good businessman, hardly a good editor
Do they even deserve to be in a list?
