Sir — The killing of the Reuters photographer, Danish Siddiqui, has resulted in a huge loss for Indian journalism. His versatility and news feel — he changed into at all times around to catch poignant moments, be it during a humanitarian disaster like that faced by Rohingya refugees or a natural calamity — gained him a Pulitzer. He performed a crucial position in offering the authentic picture of Covid-19 in India to the world. His daring and indifferent vogue must be studied by future generations. The photographs from his closing undertaking, of an extraction mission through the Afghan particular forces, are spine-chilling.

Sir — it is shocking that Danish Siddiqui was killed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, while masking clashes between Afghan forces and the Taliban. enthusiastic about his artwork, his portrayals of crises had been always layered. Amidst the pandemic, when the government become busy praising itself, Siddiqui's photographs published the tough certainty. The handiest tribute to the hero who captured reality through the lenses will also be our commitment to actuality.

Sir — The sudden, unlucky death of the 2018 Pulitzer recipient, Danish Siddiqui, has left a huge void in the box of journalism. but the politics over his corpse takes away the focus from the mortal peril looming over other journalists like him. while we demand a free press, the ones who should task out in the hunt for the certainty are, definitely, unsure of whether they will reside to look day after today. I actually have seen this anxiousness afflict contributors of my peer group. but in his death, Siddiqui has reminded us the way to courageous the horrors of conflict and politics. whether we need to turn a blind eye to the perilous life of journalists is up to us.

Sir — The mechanical click-clack of the keyboard will now not impart the pleasure that the scent of ink on paper does. individuals are rediscovering the joy of writing, permitting a Swadeshi-period ink company to make a comeback. Sulekha ink — named by way of Tagore and used by Gandhi — is all the rage on-line. but Gen-Z is weighing this charm against the imprints that ink-smudged fingers may depart on fancy smartphones.
