Andolan

Most of the important discourses through 'national'  newspapers,
magazines,serious or semi-serious journals are either carried out in
Metropolitan-mostly English speaking circles, or the 'local', 'vernacular'
discourses are margnalized. This results in a paradox, projecting -
unwarrantedly and without any basis-  the opinion of only the elite as the
opinion of 'Indian' people. We in 'Andolan' and National Alliance of
People's Movements are trying to reclaim the territory of the 'national
discourse', where the discourses of the people and organic 
intellectuals/experts and journalists related with the ground situation
and the people become the opinion of India.

Andolan has been focusing on the reporting, analysis and debate on such
important issues of alternative development and politics in national and
international arena every month. From political-social philosophy,
ideology, movements, development politics, economy, arts, books and other
vignettes of life- Andolan is interested in all these aspects. Along with
articles, we specialize in reporting and news analysis of the important
happenings, issues of people's movements all over India. We appeal the
comrades to send such important reporting and analysis to us. Photographs
and graphics with the write-up will be all the more welcome.

We wish that you and other people should contribute in such an
endeavour -through your reporting, writing short articles, analysis,
reviews, interviews and photos, graphics, cartoons etc. It will be nice if
you can send the write-ups in Marathi; in case it is not possible, you may
send it in English or Hindi also. The editorial board will convey you
after selection and inclusion of the matter.
