In this episode of The Tribune Interview, Deputy Editor Jupinderjit Singh speaks with Hawildar Mukhtiar Singh and Naik Jagdev Singh Ghalkhurd—two of the valiant 120 soldiers who thwarted nearly 2,500 Pakistani troops at the Battle of Longewala. Both men express disappointment with the film Border, which depicted heavy Indian casualties despite only three losses in reality. Upset by the inaccuracies, they have written to authorities demanding fact-checks in war movies and chose not to watch Border 2 or other cinematic portrayals of battles.

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).
