Young graduate and Delhi-based Journalist Manzar Imam, who has been contributing to various English magazines and web journals for long, won “Letter of the Week Award” from The Indian Express for his letter Moment of courage published in the daily newspaper on 3rd October 2009.
The award consists of two books: The Future of Freedom by Fareed Zakaria and The Prize Stories – Best in the Indian News Business by the Express Group besides a letter of appreciation which reads that the letter was selected as “prize winning” from a very competitive field as there were many impressive claimants for the “best letter”.
It should be noted that the prize winning letter was written in appreciation of Rukhsana Kausar, a 20-year-old girl from Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir, who along with her 18-year-old brother had killed one armed Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist and injured two others who had entered their house. Rukhsana’s role was commended as “she has shown the path others need to follow” by resisting and discouraging militants who claim to be mujahideen and indulge in militancy which has no place in Islam.
It should be noted that Mr Imam has won rewards and recognitions in past as well.Colleagues and media friends of Mr Imam have congratulated him on his achievement.
