Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday decided to name the upcoming “Mughal Museum” in Agra after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, asking “how can Mughals be our heroes”. Chairing a review meeting of Agra division, the Chief Minister made it clear that his government “always nurtured nationalist ideology and anything which smacks of subservient mentality will be done away with”. “How can Mughals be our heroes?” the chief minister asked, adding the very name of Maratha warrior Shivaji will invoke a “feeling of nationalism and self-esteem”. — PTI

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).
