  • Gauri Shankar Kalita (1955 - 9 June 2010 ) was an Indian journalist. Kalita was one of the popular journalists in the north-eastern state of Assam. He graduated from the Cotton College of Guwahati. In his youth he studied Marxism and in 1978 was the only Indian representative at the International Youth Conference in Ulaanbaatar, with his speech broadcast on Soviet television. An expert on Assam, and of north-east Indian problems, his mother tongue was Assamese though he had a deep knowledge of English. Kalita worked for one of the main daily newspapers of the north-eastern region, The Sentinel, where he started his career, and was the editor of the Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya editions. He also was the Editor of The North East Times and of the main Assamese-language newspaper Janasadharan. He died in Guwahati on 9 June 2010 after a cardiac arrest. Tarun Gogoi, the Chief Minister of Assam , said that "Kalita had an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the problems plaguing the State and the region and created public opinion through his writings. The void created by his death will be hard to fill". His wife, Garima Kalita, is a retired Head of The Department of Philosophy of Udalguri College, Assam, and is currently settled at Guwahati (en)
  • Gauri Shankar Kalita, in assamese: গৌৰীশংকৰ কলিতা (Sarupathar, 1955 – Guwahati, 9 giugno 2010), è stato un giornalista indiano. Originario dell'Assam, fu uno dei più importanti giornalisti in questo Stato del nord-est.Nato in una famiglia kshatriya, si laureò presso il Cotton College di Guwahati, una delle principali istituzioni educative dell'Assam. Si avvicinò al marxismo in gioventù (nel 1978 fu l'unico rappresentante indiano a Ulan Bator, in occasione della Conferenza Internazionale della Gioventù ed il suo discorso venne trasmesso alla televisione sovietica). Ottimo conoscitore della lingua inglese (oltre naturalmente che della lingua assamese), Gauri Shankar Kalita scriveva per uno dei maggiori quotidiani del nord-est, The Sentinel ed era direttore delle edizioni dell'Arunachal Pradesh e del Meghalaya. Fu inoltre direttore del The North East Times e del principale quotidiano in lingua assamese Janasadharan. È morto il 9 giugno 2010 per un attacco cardiaco. Alla sua morte, Tarun Kumar Gogoi, capo di governo dell'Assam (Chief Minister), si espresse in questi termini: "Kalita aveva una profonda conoscenza e comprensione dei problemi che affliggono lo Stato e la regione e ha creato un'opinione pubblica attraverso i suoi scritti. Il vuoto creato con la sua morte sarà difficile da colmare". Un anno dopo la sua morte, in una cerimonia commemorativa a Guwahati, il fondatore del The Sentinel, DN Bezboruah, ha definito la scomparsa di Kalita una grande perdita per il popolo dell'Assam. Sua moglie, Garima Kalita, è lecturer presso l'Udalguri College, in Assam. (it)
