Ektara magazine, January 2017

Dear friends and subscribers

A very happy new year to all

As we complete one year of our monthly magazine on the arts and history of India and South Asia, we bring some changes. Firstly, our initial name (etihas.in) is being changed to Ektara. Moreover, the frequency of the magazine in 2017 will be bi-monthly (once every two months), and we hope to bring richer content to you in every issue.

The magazine can be visited at http://ektara.org/magazine

We hope our stories and interviews will entertain and inspire you, and arouse your appetite for more about our rich and diverse pasts. Please subscribe to our youtube channel at http://goo.gl/Camze8
