Kuldip Nayar awarded Padma Bhushan
Although he has already passed away, Kuldip Nayar's writing skill still mesmerises me. The way he could express complex issues was really impressive. He possessed a truly secular mind. He struggled for free journalism, liberty and human rights. When he was imprisoned during the emergency of 1976-77, his readers were shocked.
After five months of his demise, he has been posthumously honoured with India's third highest civilian award, the Padma Bhushan, on the eve of the country's Republic Day. We applaud the Indian government for recognising him.
