Corrections and Clarifications

In the lead story “Keshub Mahindra, 6 others get 2-year jail for Bhopal tragedy” (June 8, 2010, page 1), there was an error in the eighth paragraph that stated the charges under which the accused were convicted — “ Section 304(II) culpable homicide …”. The accused were charged under 304(II) culpable homicide but the Supreme Court had diluted the charges to 304A in a 1996 order.

The word “sherd” in the text of a report “Megalithic burial chambers found in village near Palakkad” (June 8, 2010) is right. In archaeology, a sherd is commonly a historic or prehistoric fragment of pottery, although the term is occasionally used to refer to fragments of stone and glass vessels as well. A sherd or potsherd with writing painted or inscribed on it can be more precisely referred to as an ostracon.

The detail in “Cartoonscape” (May 27, 2010) should have said “Census 2011”, and not “Census 2010”.

It is the policy of The Hindu to correct significant errors as soon as possible. Please specify the edition (place of publication), date and page.
