Well asa youngstudentofEnglish letters Prashensa Taneja hasreally written a successfil essay gioving her aprize of$1000/-which is short of expensesneededto visit 'States.
However, i am sorrythat wein india still considerachievementsin English letter superior toanywritings in Indian languages.
I very much wonderif anybody would bother if a similaressayhad beenwrittenby a youngstudent on Mounshi Premchand'ssoul stirring short story "Namak Ka Daroga"the colonial hangover seems to stay with us.D. Goel

Lets hope we also get to see more Indians winning prizes for reading and writing well in their own mother-tongues.

"Edited and put in perspective". Does she mean to say written? It is common practice in India for adults to do their children's or wards work for them. Matrimonial advertisements for upto or beyond thirty year olds are written by their seniors
