    Prabhash Joshi contributed to Hindi Journalism sincerity and maturityBy: Madan Gopal Sharma | 06-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Prabhash Joshi gave sincerity and maturity to Hindi Journalism. With Jansatta he presented to Hindi readers a paper that competed with most sincere journalism world-over. His passion for cricket, his analysis of current affairs and comments in 'Kagad Kare' all together presented a combination par-excellence. As a young student I was influenced with his style and sincerity. Off-course it gave occasions where I could not agree with all what he wrote but nevertheless it was a big influence on my analytical abilities. He is like a light-house who will guide any sincere journalist for generations to come. My sincere tributes to him. best regards,

    Prabhashji changed the face of Hindi mediaBy: Vidya Bhushan Rawat | 06-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward It is difficult to believe that Prabhash Joshi passed away. Whether you agreed with him or not you never ignored his sincerity to the issue. He was a doyen who created a new language for the media. he brought media to the people and continuously raised the people's issues through Jansatta. He never believed in the business nitty gritties of the management as Jansatta despite the best Hindi newspaper, remained a thoroughly marginalised newspaper like Indian Express. Unlike Indian Express, which changed it tones to the corporate interest, Jansatta was always the voice of the people. Prabhash Joshi gave it the teeth it required to fight the corruption and he followed the great legacy of Ramnath Goenka. His language was that of the masses and he desanskritised the laguage and used local idioms in the media. we all will remember his personalised writings about politics and cricket. He was die hard Sachin fan and perhaps felt shocked on India's defeat. It is a great loss.
    He was the greatest Hindi journalistBy: Hitendra Patel | 06-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward No words can describe the loss of this great journalist. He he has been delivering lectures on Hind Swaraj these days. He would be remembered as the greatest Hindi journalist of his genenration and a great traditional Indian soul. He died after hours of Sachin's great century may have some links with his death. We deeply mourn his demise.
    beacon light of hindi journalismBy: prem prakash | 06-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward it is an irreparable loss to indian journalism. for past three decades, hindi journalist have looked upto him for insipiration. many grew under his guidance and many of them imulating him. now when he is no more, his writing and memory would inspire millions. may his soul rest in peace. with profound grief and condolences to his family and admirers
