Saikia Topic: 4 Session: oral Abstract: We compare systematically the occurrence of HI absorption in compact and larger objects, study its distribution and evolution of properties with source age. These results along with the recently discovered 21-cm absorption towards the core of radio galaxy 3C452 will be discussed in the light of observations at other wavelengths.
