Dear Editor,
I check your website www.ghadar.org.in regularly. However I do not see frequent updates. Can you send me a mail whenever you update the site? Also you could put in a lot more content in the archives regarding 1857 and other topics from Indian history and philosophy and make it a great resource centre for all of us.

Dear Editor,
I have been waiting for the next issue of Ghadar Jari Hai for quite a long time. Hope the problems are being sorted out and it will emerge with renewed vigour. In its short history of three years GJH has provoked us to think differently and all the authors and the ediorial team of GJH needs to be congratulated for that. Would like to see microstudies/short precis of important works from our past. For example: Arthashastra, Ain-e-Akbari, al Berauni’s travels, Huen Tsang’s travels, Fa Hien’s travels etc I would also like to see more profi les like Jewels of India as well as different streams of Indian thought like: Samkhya, Vaiseshika, Nyaya, Charvaka-Lokayata, Buddhist and Jain teachings, radical Bhakti thought, etc.

Dear Editor,
I thoroughly enjoyed the cover story “relevance of Arthashastra”; it is interesting to note that the concept of reciprocal rights and duties has existed in South Asia for so long. History has been a battle for rights. It is said in the article that Kings who did not follow Raj Dharma and were inconsiderate towards their subjects saw rebellions and unrest. Their kingdoms also didn’t last too long. Today, it is not just about a king, there are rebellions and a lot of unrest. One hopes that the wheel of change will turn faster. I also really liked the conversation piece with Prof. C.K Raju. Popularly we know that India’s contribution to mathematics was the addition of Zero, which in itself is a massive contribution. This interview is an eye-opener. I wish you and your team all the very best, hoping that we will get to read more such interesting articles and understand our own past better in way which motivates us to do better for the future.
It has been some time and I have not seen your latest issue. I hope it is going to come out soon.

Dear Editor,
A friend of mine sent me the Ghadar Jari Magazine recently, titled Relevance of Arthashastra. I really enjoyed reading the magazine and also read the past issues on your website. Having done my B.A. in history at Delhi, I found the articles and the materials presented in your magazine refreshing and focused. It gives me a new perspective on the past, the present and future. I look forward to your next issue. I am glad I got introduced to your magazine.

Dear Editor,
Your magazine is doing an excellent job in digging into India’s past and bringing out those magnifi cant contributions that our civilisation has provided the world. I read the “Jewels of India” and “Pages of history” columns in your magazine with particular interest. The portrait that Shivanand Kanavi had drawn on Sarvajnya, the encyclopedic was very interesting. Here was a poet who lived two hundred years prior to the French Enlightenment who used the idiom of poetry to convey his knowledge on a breathtaking array of subjects from agriculture to family life to religion. The translations of his vachanas reveal the poetic skill and the subtle humour of Sarvajnya. Such beautiful accounts of our talented ancestors will add further value to our rich heritage. I request you to give us further insights into our great forefathers in the issues to come.
