Anupam Mishra was a greatly respected journalist who stayed away from the limelight but wrote with insight on water and the environment.

Anupam Mishra, who died in Delhi on December 19 at the age of 68, had been one of the most respected persons in the Hindi media for at least two decades. For several years he had been the editor of Hindi Gandhi Marg, a much-admired  journal with a very committed readership. His own articles in various newspapers were keenly awaited by readers, all the more in recent years as these had been getting less frequent, partly due to his failing health.

However, even while his output in terms of published writing was diminishing, his stature in the Hindi media continued to rise as he was highly regarded by a new generation of upcoming journalists keen to write on environmental issues and social movements. Mishra was always willing to help them with his wide range of contacts and they generally developed a genuine respect for his critical views on the existing development paradigm and priorities.

Mishra gained the basics of his development perspective from Gandhian thinking and thinkers, in the presence of whom much of his life was spent. While he often worked in, or with, Gandhian institutions, he was careful to avoid the increasing drift towards routine and mediocrity in some of them. He remained one of the few leading Gandhian thinkers who was willing to make very specific criticisms of official projects and policies from a Gandhian perspective.
