most likely get some award. I will get nothing for getting so many minor girls rescued.
A Naina Kaur is still exclusively covered by us. Only we step in to check on the aggrieved family and help them. Rape-video of minor dalit girl in Ghosiya still exclusively covered by us +
Contrasting response to Hathras & Balrampur cases is why we are the real alternate voice
Every publication covered Hathras. Channels reported every detail, newspapers put it on page 1. Opposition held press conferences. Student groups hit streets. None of it is ever visible in +
Balrampur-like cases.
Hathras family is getting 25 lakh, a house & a job. Good for them. But no such demand made for Balrampur, nor has govt promised anything. No politician is headed there.
Reporter who covered hurried cremation at night – and it was great work – will +
Only we step in to get her some compensation. These are just two of many examples. It’s fine; I don’t work for such acknowledgement, just pointing out lack of balance.

Humanity is dying and politics is wining over and over again. Thank you for this thread. We will read it and forget it after few days. This is what we are doing after all.

You may not get any award but no other journalist will get the kind of acknowledgement and appreciation as you would get for your just and honest journalism. All of us know, who gets awards and how.
@swati_gs
I think you are gold. I wish I could give you an award but it wouldn't mean much. But I appreciate your work and your sentiment a hundred Razdan or an Arfa s couldn't match one of you! keep it up!
