Letters to the Editor: Cows, Historical Figures, and Padma Awards

Letters to the Editor: Cows, Historical Figures, and Padma Awards

In one letter, a cow named Veronica in Austria has shown smart behavior by using a broom to scratch herself, challenging the idea that cows are not intelligent.

Another letter talks about two brothers from Bengal who chose different paths in the 1930s: one became a revolutionary and the other a political leader.

The letter argues that the revolutionary is forgotten while the political leader is celebrated.

There are also letters discussing the Padma Awards, which are honors given by the Indian government.

Some letters praise the awards for being inclusive, while others criticize the exclusion of certain deserving individuals like a famous music composer from Tamil Nadu.

Overall, the letters discuss intelligence, historical figures, and the significance of national awards.
