In his latest book, Manav Kaul sifts through the past, delves into the present and talks about all creative impulses — writing, directing theatre and acting — that have made him who he is.

Ponniyin Selvan Book 2: Troubled Waters

Second in the multi-volume translation of Kalki’s classic ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, ‘Troubled Waters’ catches the pace and lyricism of the Thamizh (Tamil) novel. Set in the Chola era, the novel is about the political intrigue and dynastic upheavals that Ilaiya Rani Nandini, wife of Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar, has to face.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
