For five years now, The India Forum has been a platform that engages with the issues that concern all of us. On our pages, you’ve read leading commentators and fresh voices alike on a variety of topics from the economy to politics, climate change to gender, law to society, arts to sports.
We exist for you: readers frustrated by the banality of instant commentary and posturing in the media today. We know you want articles that provide clarity, deep insight and spark new ways of thinking.
Your continuing patronage tells us we’re doing our job well. We can do it because we’re independent and not linked in any manner to any industrial, financial, or political organisation. We don’t have to play the clickbait game to attract ad revenues. All we need to do is focus on our reader and what they want.
Your support is crucial for us to stay that way. Just Rs 5 lakhs a month will cover our costs: web hosting, web maintenance, payments to authors and for photos, software subscriptions, and salaries.
To keep The India Forum running and free for all, we’re asking you to join our donation campaign in October to raise Rs 15 lakhs, which will cover 3 months of expenses.
Thank you for your support.
