>>The front-page graphic that appeared alongside “BJP-TDP talks inconclusive” (March 24, 2014, some editions) got the Goa Chief Minister’s name wrong. It is Manohar Parrikar, not Mohan Parrikar.
>>“Yashwant Sinha has quietly opted out, content with ticket for his son Jayant from Hazirbagh in Bihar .” So said a sentence in “ >In BJP, change is order of the day ” (March 23, 2014). Hazirbagh is in Jharkhand .
>>The opening sentence of the Comment page article, “ >The second homecoming ” (March 22, 2014), read: “When Rajiv Gandhi ’s poster boy Ghulam Nabi Azad …” It is Sanjay Gandhi, not Rajiv Gandhi.
>>This column has lost count on the number of times it has issued a correction in regard to official language versus national language: In “ >Where Bollywood stars don’t shine ” (March 22, 2014) a sentence read: “As a counter move, the Centre opened a music channel in All India Radio, Imphal, so that youngsters remained familiar with the national language .”(The reference was to Hindi.) Vexed readers point out that Hindi is an official language - not national language. They are right.
