New Delhi: Indian women’s hockey team captain Rani Rampal has strongly condemned casteist abuse against Vandana Katariya’s family in Haridwar. Calling the abuse shameful, the captain took a stand against the slurs faced by a member of her team. “We put all our hard work to play for India, struggle and sacrifice so much to represent our country and when we see what is happening — what happened to Vandana’s family — I want to say to people, please stop this discrimination, religious division and casteism,” Rampal said. “We have to rise above this. We come from different religions — Hindu, Muslim, Sikh — and come from all parts of India… But here we work for India,” she added. TNS

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).
