Dear Editor,
I would like to congratulate the team of Ghadar Jari Hai for putting together an excellent collection of articles and papers again. After reading the first three issues of Ghadar Jari Hai, it has become like an addiction and I await the publication of the next issue.
Dear Editor,
I would like to congratulate the team of Ghadar Jari Hai for putting together an excellent collection of articles and papers again. After reading the first three issues of Ghadar Jari Hai, it has become like an addiction and I await the publication of the next issue.
The cover story was very informative and provided enormous ammunition in defense of our natural resources and their ownership by the people as a whole. I was particularly inspired by two article in this issue – Peepul ke Neeche and perspective on Harappan engineering and its legacy.
It was heartening to know that there are political forces that take the issue of history, philosophy, culture and statecraft seriously and beyond the day-to-day politicking and deal making that one sees around these days, where the only concern of the political parties is to somehow grab and retain power in their own hands. I agree with the approach outlined in the interaction that all political forces in India have the right as well as duty to reflect upon all these aspects so that the stranglehold of euro-centrism can be broken. It is important and obligatory to involve all in this debate. Some of them may use it for their own ends in supporting the status quo. Eventually the theory and philosophy that provides solution to present day problems and opens up path for progress of the society, is the one that will prevail.
Perspective on Harappan engineering clearly demonstrates the achievements in the field of engineering, architecture and town planning. The fact that this was done on such a large scale covering huge tracts of land, show that the society was highly organised and possessed skills and resources to achieve such feats. This again refutes the claim made by the colonisers that the people they conquered were uncivilised and uneducated.

Dear Editor,
I am an avid reader of Ghadar Jari Hai magazine and in fact have been reading it from the very beginning when it started circulating last year. I wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful and intellectually stimulating magazine and at the same time tell you how much I enjoy the Resonances section.
I wanted to share with you, that I was in Kolkata recently and attended the Ghadar Jari Hai event there. It was such a good celebration with dance and very good talks. I hope you will continue to have more such events and keep us informed. I congratulate you once more on this wonderful magazine, it will be in my reading list as long as you bring it out and I hope you will continue to for very long. Keep this Ghadar going!
Regards

Dear Editor,
I am a student of Mumbai University. And I came across your magazine from one of the seminars organised by the social department. I liked the first issue so much that I took the entire year’s subscription of your magazine. The ideas and the fact mentioned and propagated by the magazine strike the right chord. So many of my illusions about how British ruled India and the so called freedom fighters got cleared.
I came across so many facts after reading the articles. I was ignorant of the facts all this while that because of only few people we have got the freedom. There were so many unspoken heroes. I really salute you for bringing out the reality. Keep up the good work. And you people have truly made me understand the real meaning of Ghadar.
Yours truly
