The evening began with a call for a minute’s silence – as tribute to all those who have died in recent hostilities between India and Pakistan.

On May 12, at New Delhi’s Jawahar Bhavan, The Wire’s national affairs editor, Sangeeta Barooah Pisharoty, opened proceedings recalling how The Wire’s journey began a decade ago.

To do that, she began where one must – of her own journalistic journey, through the last decade, with The Wire. “I can tell you here without the blink of an eye that it was nothing but exhilarating; a full-on thrilling experience, of course, interspersed with a raid here, government blocking the website there, and loads of cases and social media trolling in between,” Pisharoty said, to laughter from the audience.
