Tora Agarwala
INDEPENDENT journalist
I am an independent journalist covering India’s north-east. Till the summer of 2023, I reported on this vibrant but turbulent region for The Indian Express,
one of the country’s foremost dailies.
I write on a range of subjects, with a special focus on the cultural and identity politics of the diverse communities that make up the north-east.
As an independent journalist, my work has appeared in leading international and
Indian publications such as Reuters, Rest of World, Scroll, among others.
I have received several journalism awards, including India’s most prestigious
journalism honour, the Ramnath Goenka (Excellence in Journalism) Award 2020.
While the narrative longform feature is my favourite journalistic form, half a decade at a daily newspaper means I am more than comfortable working on breaking stories.
