Mark Tully, Renowned Journalist, Passes Away at 90

Mark Tully was a very important journalist who spent a lot of time in India.

He was born in Calcutta in 1935 and wrote about India for many years.

He was known for his careful and thoughtful reporting.

He didn't just write about big events; he also talked to regular people like farmers and clerks.

He believed in understanding India deeply and not just writing about what was easy to see.

He reported on important events like Operation Blue Star and the assassination of Indira Gandhi in a serious way.

He thought journalism should help people understand things better, not just make them angry.

He was different from many journalists because he didn't shout or say things were all good or all bad.

He believed in being patient and understanding.

His death is a big loss because he was one of the last journalists who worked this way.
