RIP R. Vijayaraghavan Sir.
I have been reader of the' Hindu' for several decades and regularly follow the online
edition now
I would like to see a section devoted to South Asia everyday so better coverage can
be provided about India's neighbors just like New York Times has a section devoted
to India. The letter from Nirupama Subramanyam is very much in line with my
suggestion
