For the third year in a row, the Chinese have renamed places in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, which they call Zangnan and keep claiming as the southern part of Tibet. New Delhi has rejected Beijing’s “vain and preposterous” move, while reiterating that “Arunachal was, is and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India.” This time, China has carried out the provocative exercise amid India-Pakistan tensions in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and the retaliatory Operation Sindoor. During the recent turbulence in the subcontinent, Islamabad has been firmly backed by Beijing, its all-weather friend.

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).
