There
are magazines and magazines: this world today
is full of printed word. A lot of it unreadable.
A lot of it trivial. Some of it is of value but
only transient. Fortunately, out of this cloud
of mediocrity, there rises, occasionally, a peak
of excellence, commitment and concern. MANUSHI
is one such peak. A magazine of contemporary relevance,
garnished with rare courage, clarity and deep
insight. It informs, reveals and educates in a
way that is its own. A great learning experience
for men and women alike.

MANUSHI
has never kowtowed to any authority—political,
ideological or academic. It has
consistently tried to open up new territories
for the ideas, values and worldviews of marginalised
people. I have developed a deep respect for the
journal, because I have found
that to know MANUSHI is to know one's own self
a little better.

MANUSHI
is thoughtful, incisive and enlightening. More
than just feed information, it asks questions
that should be asked. It should definitely be
read by all those who want to do something for
India.
