Special Reports
I wish to briefly introduce my erstwhile senior colleague in one of the leading English dailies in Hyderabad, Deccan Chronicle, who is not only a prolific writer, but also revered as an upright journalist holding professional ethics and morals. That’s P.A. Rama Rao. He sent me this article, and I consider it my privilege to…
I am feeling extremely happy to introduce two of our columnist – Dr Satyawan Saurab and Dr Priyanka Saurab – excellent writers, who take time out to support your Orangenews9 since its early with passion and enthusiasm. For that, Orangenews9, indeed appreciate this ‘writing couple’ for doing what they are doing to support my passion…
Special Correspondent If Hyderabad cricket genuinely wants to restore its lost glory, it must have the courage to examine not merely who occupies the offices of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), but how the entire talent-to-selection pipeline functions. It is easy to speak about systemic reform in abstract terms. It is considerably harder to identify…
U Lakshmanrao This article was written in response to the Editor’s thoughtful appeal to develop a theme around the cultural renaissance of Bharat, rooted in the timeless virtues of our ancient heritage. I consider it a particularly inspiring suggestion, as it encouraged me to look beyond the visible dimensions of independence and explore the deeper…
Watching Bharat’s ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, I cannot help asking a rather uncomfortable question: is this really the best way for Bharat to construct a Test team?

As a teacher who has spent considerable time nurturing and grooming young minds, I welcomed the Orangenews9 Editor’s invitation to share my experience of how Bharat has travelled over the last eight decades, particularly in the field of education.

For years, allegations of corruption, nepotism, favouritism and the emergence of a ‘pay-to-play’ culture…
Dr. Sandhya Rani Bombay Greetings to all the followers of Orangenews9 on the occasion of our 80th Independence Day. What stirred my poetic instinct was the Editor’s invitation to share my reflections and experiences on the remarkable journey of a nation that became free in 1947. Eight decades later, as Bharat stands at the threshold…
It is with considerable restraint that I chose the subject for this column, following a request from the Editor to express my views on how I assess Bharat’s achievements as we celebrate its 80th Independence Day. Much has already been said by Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the nation’s journey, achievements and aspirations. Yet, as…
Vinay Rao I was rather delighted when the Editor of OrangeNews9 asked me to share my experiences as a citizen and responsible journalist, and reflect on how I view Independent India’s eight-decade journey, even though I am relatively young and in my mid-forties. Yet, I saw it as an opportunity to take a break from…
