About Tehelka

Tehelka.com has come to stand for public interest journalism, exposes to corruption, and courage under fire, amid the tarnished political institutions in India. In the last two years Tehelka has seen everything. Overwhelming goodwill, great fame, and global accolades. It has also faced relentless victimization at the hands of a powerful establishment following its defence expose.

 

About the Talk

• The need for active citizenship to bolster Indian democracy. 
• How independent public interest media can empower people and assist in the fight against endemic corruption.
• Tehelka's resolve to rebuild the 'People's Paper'- representing people's interest.
