Translated from Assamese, ‘Yatra: An Unfinished Novel’ by Harekrishna Deka follows a writer’s experience of living under state surveillance, where nothing is as it seems and the stark distinction of your distance from the heartland is palpable with every step that you take. The book leaves one with the thought that perhaps, our travels never really end — when one journey finishes, we find ourselves at the beginning of another. Deka, who won a Sahitya Akademi Award for his poetry collection in 1987, and Katha Award for his short story in 1995, retired as DGP, Assam.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
