AN INTERVIEW WITH RAJ KANWAR

Please tell us a little about your interactions with Jawaharlal Nehru?
My first meeting with Nehru took place sometime in 1954 at Dehradun's Circuit
House. Naturally, I was quite nervous but Nehru put me at ease. Nehru was
undoubtedly a noble soul with a large heart. I met him nearly half a dozen times
thereafter. My last meeting with Nehru was on about 23 May 1964 – two days
before he died.

What are your views on Present Day What were the challenges you

Its technology has been revolutionized I did not do much political
and has become unrecognizable from reporting. Mine was mostly
the past. And the quality of reporting has reporting on local news. The only

I also covered the arrival in

A VORACIOUS READER” occasion.

How can one give back to the community being a journalist?
Yes, we journalists owe a lot to the society. Society gives us much respect and
we have easy access to the high and mighty. We must never misuse this liberty.
After all, we need to give something back to the society for the honour they
have bestowed on us. Our stories must be constructive with a view to improving
things and not negative.
