Dear Reader,
It is never easy to talk all about India in one issue. However, what we have done is to earnestly try to bring in as many perspectives as we can in the August edition of Spark themed, ‘India Decoded’.
We have a beautiful poem by R.Seshan that will awaken the Indian in you and remind you of your responsibilities towards the nation. P.R.Viswanathan brings to life Mother India yet again through his words and this time, she is worried about what’s happening to her. Meera Sundararajan captures the various contradictions that make India what it is, from a commoner’s point of view. Bijesh Krishnadas decodes the most talked about topic in India today—the Lokpal Bill. Parth Pandya brings in an interesting perspective with his piece—talking about the India that exists outside of India—the NRI community. Varsha Sreenivasan throws light on the martial art legacy of India—something that we ought to be proud of. Anupama Krishnakumar pens five ‘100-word’ stories that capture little fragments of the Indian way of life. Vani Viswanathan writes an amusing piece on the connection between India and animals.
Amrita Sarkar portrays the many hues of the Indian woman through her painting, while Bharat Baswani and Nilesh J.Bhange showcase the true beauty of India through their amazing photographs!
Anupama Krishnakumar talks to four young Indian writers who sparkle among Indian authors taking the Indian English literary scene by storm. Catch Anjali Joseph, Amish Tripathi, Preeti Shenoy and Kartik Iyengar in conversation with her.
We hope this issue will not just be an enjoyable read but also one that will let you think about your role in the country’s progress. Happy reading! See you next month! — Spark Editorial Team
