As part of its 150th anniversary celebrations, The Times of India presents an anthology of selected Letters to the Editor, titled Feedback. This collection reflects the newspaper’s commitment to its readers and acknowledges the ‘Letters’ column as a vital platform for public discourse.
The anthology spans three broad periods—1838 to 1905, 1906 to 1946, and 1947 to 1988—highlighting how public opinion and writing styles evolved over time. From colonial debates and nationalist voices to post-independence commentary, these letters provide a rich insight into the social, political, economic, and cultural landscape of each era.
Contributors include notable figures like Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah, Rajagopalachari, and many others, making this compilation not only a chronicle of changing times but also a testament to the enduring power of public expression.
