What is OP-ED ?this is the word written beside the editorial page in the paper THE HINDU?
Answer:
This something you see in every major metropolitan daily newspaper throughout the country. The term "OP-ED" is short for "Opinion-Editorial". It is on these pages that you find the opinions of the paper's editorial board (usually written by the executive editor or senior editors); columnists; essayists; letters to the editor; political cartoons; and pieces by pundits, political insiders; historians; and topical experts. Even the President of The United States has been known to draft a column. In short -- anyone who has an opinion, can submit it to the OP-ED pages for publication. Doesn't always mean it will get printed.
The term may seem redundant. Editorial is "opinionated" content created by the papers own editors, reporters and staff; while opinion is generated views from outside of the papers employees -- i.e., George Will does a regular column for The Seattle Times, but it is an opinion column because he actually works for a different publication.

OP-ED stands for opinion/editorial.
opinion editorial
Op-ed means the page opposite the editorial page.
OP-ED is short for Opinions and editorials.
It means that the article is an opinion written by the editorial staff. I don't think it has to meet the same research requirements as "hard news". I've seen some fairly wacky op-ed pieces.
op-ed or Op-Ed (ŏp'ĕd')
