‘Scribes are freedom fighters of today’

Kurukshetra: The Vice-Chancellor Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, Prof Som Nath said, “Journalists are the present day freedom fighters as they bring the truth in front of society in a fearless manner. Journalists have performed a major role in the freedom struggle of the country by bringing out the truth of British inhumanity. They have to play the same role today.” He said this while delivering presidential address in the one-day national seminar on ‘Indian journalism’. Naresh Kaushal, Editor, Dainik Tribune, said Indian journalism in its long history had witnessed a lot, which helped the Indian people get freedom from superstitions, evils and slavery. He said in the freedom struggle, Indian linguistic journalism had helped remove slavery from society, for which the present generation was indebted to all journalists, institutions and editors of the past. He said in the present era, journalism had seen a lot of change. It had become high-tech and this change had come to such an extent that now most of the editors were replaced by managers. Dr Virendra Singh Chauhan, vice-president and director, Haryana Granth Academy, Panchkula, said Indian Hindi journalism had inculcated the spirit of nationalism in the society, due to which people immersed themselves in the national spirit and participated in the freedom struggle of the country.
