At the ASEAN summit held in Vientiane, Laos, Prime Minister Narendra Modi showcased a selection of extraordinary gifts that encapsulated India’s rich cultural heritage and artistic craftsmanship. Each gift was carefully curated, reflecting not only the deep-rooted traditions of Indian artistry but also the symbolic meanings associated with each piece, making them more than mere tokens of goodwill.

One standout item was a vintage brass Buddha statue from Tamil Nadu, a masterpiece of South Indian craftsmanship, gifted to Laos’ President Thongloun Sisoulith. This statue, adorned with intricate meenakari work, features skilled artisans meticulously applying vibrant enamel colors to create a stunning visual experience.

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).
