Yashwant Singh: India's best blogger
Yashwant Singh, who runs Bhadas4media, a blog which recently celebrated 4 years of existence, is in my opinion the best Indian blogger, in the true blogger sense - blogging on an issue he is passionate about, the right/plight of Indian journalists, highlighting any example of media-industrial complex on a regular basis, which all the Twitteratis and pseudo-bloggers (English language) have mostly failed to do so far.
From a wide sampling of Yashwant's writing, which is in Hindi, first you have to read this, which is the most frank personal story of any Indian blogger I have read so far.
It is a passionate blogger's philosophy, a manifesto for carrying on no matter what. This blogger thought he would be dead by 38. No chance, so far.
Yashwant receives threats for his blogging all the time, and he often responds by giving the caller the address of his home.
Read Yashwant's post about high salaries of media organization CEOs, and this one about huge salaries of new channel/newspaper editors while stringers go unpaid.
