Starting May 17, we embark on an exciting journey—exploring one great thinker each day. From politics to literature, from economics to society, brilliant minds have shaped how we see the world. But why study them? Because their ideas unlock deeper understanding. They challenge us to think critically, argue logically, and grasp complex concepts clearly. In exams, citing these thinkers doesn’t just impress—it shows depth, insight, and mastery of the subject. Let’s discover why their thoughts still matter today.

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).
