Singer Lata Mangeshkar, who passed away last year, has been featured at the 84th spot in the Rolling Stone’s 200 Best Singers of All Time. About the singer, it was mentioned: “The eternal voice of the ‘The Melody Queen’ is a cornerstone of Indian pop music, with a global influence spread via Bollywood films, whose golden era she defined. Lata was the empress of playback singers…Recording over 7,000 songs.”

Reacting on the news, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, “It is good to know that she has been ranked among the 200 best. But Lata ji is not only among the 200 best, she is the best singer civilisation has ever produced.” In the list there are also other renowned names from the music world, including late Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, popular South Korean singer-songwriter Lee Ji-eun and BTS’ Jungkook. — TMS

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).
