Did you read The Hindu dated May 21, 2007? It carried a detailed article on the back page about a certain Ms Vidya Ram who had topped the Columbia University’s School of Journalism. Fair enough. Congrats! But would anyone else aged 27, and from Chennai have made the news? If she weren’t the daughter of the newspaper’s editor?
Ms. Ram is the daughter of N. Ram, Editor-in-Chief, The Hindu, who is an alumnus of the Columbia University journalism school. She studied at Sishya, Chennai, Oxford University, and the London School of Economics before going to Columbia University. Ms. Ram spent a year teaching English in Harbin, China; interned at The Hindu group’s Frontline magazine in 2001-2002; and subsequently worked at the Hansard Society in London.
What next? Some grandchild passed second standard with flying colours?
