If you watch NDTV, then this name is not a new name for you. Barkha Dutt is a popular TV journalist. Barkha works for NDTV as Group Editor at present which is one of the biggest news network in India.

Prabha Dutt graduated from the Chandigarh School of Journalism with honours and did her inhouse training with the Hindustan Times, Delhi in 1964.
Barkha’s coverage of the 1999 Kargil Conflict gained her much popularity and fame , though she confessed later that she did not perform her journalistic duty during her war reporting. Kargil apart, Barkha has done yeoman work for NDTV. Today, she is the Managing Editor of the Channel. She also hosts the talk show, We The People on NDTV.

Hi!
This message is for Barkha Dutt or any other editor of NDTV. The below email is self-explanatory. How can NDTV help me in sending this idea across to all the tax payers of India?
Thanks,

The below letter of mine was published in today’s (Dec 5) Pune Mirror.
Penny penny makes many
A lot has been said and written about our police forces using obsolete tools and technology to fight terrorism. Lathis cannot combat AK-47s. Nor can cheapest and poor quality bullet-proof jackets are of any use. Only time will tell what state-of-the-art technology does the centre implement to fight these dangerous terrorists. According to Right to Information (RTI), India apparently had 31.5 million tax payers in 2006. Needless to say, this number by now would have grown marginally if not substantially. I sincerely feel that if every tax payer is ready to contribute at least rupee one per month from their salary, it will do a world of good for the Indian Armed Forces.
Note: “Preaching is easy but difficult to practice” goes an old adage. Another caveat to this is while tax payers would not mind contributing a measly sum of one rupee, the obvious thinking would be – “Would the money be utilized properly?”
Thanks,
Prasad
