[Arul Selvan]

India-born journalist Geeta Anand shared this year's Pulitzer Prize for 
explanatory journalism for a series of stories about scandals in 
corporate America. She shared the Pulitzer Prize with the staff of 'the 
Wall Street Journal', the South Asian Journalist Association (SAJA).  
Very few South Asians have won the prestigious journalism award. The 
first was Gobind Behari Lal in 1937. The two stories that the one-time 
Mumbai-based Anand contributed in the winning series were: 'History and 
Science: In Waksal's Past: Repeated Ousters' and 'Trial Heat: Biotech 
Analysts Strive to Peek Inside Clinical Tests of Drugs'.
