Opinion - Letters to the Editor

125 years

Sir, — As the great grandson of Nyapathy Subbarao Pantulu, one of the six young nationalists who started The Hindu, I am proud that the paper which started as a weekly has completed 125 years.

Sir, — When we were agitating for a rail-cum-road bridge across the Godavari in 1963, and Finance Minister T.T. Krishnamachari was against the proposal, I went to Madras and requested G. Narasimhan, then Managing Editor, to write an editorial on the issue. The Hindu obliged. The effect was dramatic — TTK gave in.

S.S. Krishnaji,

Kakinada, A.P.

Sir, — Prof. C. A. Shepherd, a well-known authority on Shakespeare and a renowned grammarian, had a three-point prescription for acquiring proficiency in English — Shakespeare, Wren & Martin and The Hindu.
