Wed Dec 13 21:53:12 2000
Name:Ramesh
Email:rarangan@usa.net
Nomination:George Iype, The Rediff Senior Editor/Reporter
Reason:He is one of the best reporters that I have known.
The articles that he has written about the Terrorist activities in India and abroad
have made lot of people realize how serious these problems are to our nation's integrity and to the safety of
the people. The reports that he has published about ISI's mission destabilize, LTTE nexus with Tamil Nadu politicians to call
for 'The partition', ISI's Nepali's connection and many such things
require lot of courage from a reporter. His reports are accurate, sincere and unbiased. I am sure these reports are very much useful
for not just common man, but also for those people who are in power to curb the terrorist activities. Just read his interviews and articles
on the rediff site, you will get a clear picture about these organizations and their intentions and how they are planning to destabilize the peaceful country in the name of religion and language.
I would recommend George Iype as the rediff man of the year.
