RAVISH KUMAR, 44
Managing Editor, NDTV India, Magsaysay awardee“PATRIOTISM FOR ME IS THE PURITY OF
INFORMATION AND THE RIGHT TO IT. THE
MORE ACCURATE AND CREDIBLE THE
INFORMATION, THE STRONGER WILL BE THE
TRUST BETWEEN PEOPLE... THE CREDIBILITY
OF INFORMATION HAS TO BE RESTORED.
INSTITUTIONS HAVE TO BE FAIR. INDIA
HAS BECOME A COUNTRY OF A ONE-PARTY
NARRATIVE. WHOEVER IS NOT SAYING
‘YES’ IS BEING LABELLED A TRAITOR. THISNARRATIVE OF NATIONALISM IS DANGEROUS.
IT DIVIDES PEOPLE. IT EXCLUDES. WE HAVE
TO STOP THIS LANGUAGE OF EXCLUSION.”
