Danish Siddiqui’s Pulitzer will help his legacy live on

I write in reference to Taniya Dutta’s article Indian photojournalist killed in Afghanistan honoured with Pulitzer (May 10): Danish Siddiqui, who was killed while reporting on the Taliban surge across Afghanistan last year, was a courageous journalist and deserves the Pulitzer Prize. He was very skilled as a photographer; who can forget his harrowing pictures of the burial grounds and crematoriums after the second Covid-19 wave devastated India last year? Perhaps less apparent were the risks Siddiqui took to bring us the stories we may have otherwise never come across. So we must never forget his immense contribution to journalism.
