A treasure trove

The Hindu has come out with a superb 24 page supplement on the 60th Independence Day. I laid my hands on it at the NM library today. It can be accessed online here.

I haven’t read it in full and i think it will take at least a week for me to do it, because of the depth and the sheer number of the articles in it. These articles are a good reality check written by an illustrious list of contributors , than the breast beating that most of the other newspapers and magazines did on the occasion of the Independence Day.

It also has a special painting by M.F.Husain, and photos and cartoons from the archives of The Hindu.

I think it is a must read for every Indian.
