The broadcaster and journalist Sir Mark Tully – for many years known as the BBC’s “voice of India” – has died at the age of 90.
For decades, the rich, warm tones of Sir Mark were familiar to BBC audiences in Britain and around the world – a much-admired foreign correspondent and respected reporter and commentator on India.
He covered war, famine, riots and assassinations, the Bhopal gas tragedy and the Indian army’s storming of the Sikh Golden Temple.
