The English Literary Society of Dyal Singh College, Karnal, organised a movie screening of ‘Laapata Ladies’ — a film that has garnered international acclaim. Around 50 students of English literature attended the screening.

In the post-film discussions, students talked about their observations. Praising the students’ acute insights, Principal Dr Ashima Gakhar elaborated the true meaning of feminism. Dinesh Kumar, head of the department of English, drew a historic picture of the feminist thread in Indian cinema.

Dr Jyotsna Grewal, president of the literary society, presented a formal vote of thanks and co-president Dr Arpita Sawhney served as a moderator in the discussions.

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).
