‘False Sanctuaries’: Rekindling
hope for dark subcontinent
You cannot shun war and run away from the
death and destruction that follows you. You
cannot dodge the fear of terrorism, bomb blasts
or a fidayeen. You cannot shut yourself to the
latest round of intifada or Kani Jung, threatening
to suck life out of your hinges.
You cannot avoid these things now in the 21st
century’s new war zone – South Asia. Yet you live,
smile, shake off the dust as if nothing happened
and move on braving all odds and, YOU are
the hero of ‘False Sanctuaries: Stories from the
troubled territories of South Asia.’

7. The Hindu Lit For Life event was a grand success. And it was covered
live by the students of the Asian College of Journalism, Chennai. They
used CoveritLive’s EventStudio for the live webcasting. Also created
a Twitter handle and a Facebook page to support the event. Event
videos were uploaded through Youtube. It was a delightful experience
to see the students of New Media at ACJ experimenting on a new
medium. And they have made a mark on it. Well done guys and girls.
Never have I as a teacher felt so
proud as I did today, time and
again, when I was told, face to
face, via email or on social media
networks and text messages on
my hand phone, that the New
Media Students of Asian College
of Journalism had done a mind-
blowing job of liveblogging The
Hindu Lit for Life.

a problem, it is because of its high
revenue deficit component, which
crowds out creation of productive
capacity as well as private invest-
ment. India’s imports of electronics
products are surging.
