Fitting tribute

Kudos to the Sri Lankan Government for conferring the "Sri Lanka Ratna," the nation's highest honour for non-nationals, on N. Ram, Editor-in-Chief, The Hindu, for his "outstanding, professional contribution towards journalism." As Editor-in-Chief, he ensured that the newspaper gave a true and non-partisan account of the day-to-day State, national and international events.

Mr. Ram deserves the award for his outstanding services to humanity through the mobilisation of public opinion against terrorism and his tireless efforts towards a denuclearised world.

A proud moment indeed for Mr. Ram on bagging the prestigious award, the first for an Indian.
