Dear friends,

 

Jaibheem

 

Insight Editorial Collective is pleased to inform you about the launching of the website for our Dalit youth magazine 'Insight Young Voices'.

- The URL for the sites are as follows:-

• http://insightyv.com/ - The main site will have the latest issues of our magazine and will double up as an e-resource center for Dalit and Tribal students.

• http://archive.insightyv.com/ - Top ten past issues of our magazine like Caste and Gender, Caste and Nationalism, Caste and Atrocities have been uploaded.

• http://blog.insightyv.com/ - We have also started a blog called 'Round Table' where our 22 member team will be posting their views, analysis, creative writings on different contemporary issues.

- Through these sites we are trying to carry forward our magazine's prime objective of creating platforms for Dalit and Tribal students to articulate their views, contribute to the empowerment of our community as well as fight against caste-based discrimination both inside as well as outside the campuses.

- The Insight Editorial Collective is highly indebted to the Dalit student group of IIT Mumbai for creating our websites and providing all support for uploading the contents.

- We raise our financial support from within the community for all our activities including printing of the magazine. Like all the other small magazines it has been a very tough journey for us too. Therefore next few issues of our magazine will only be available online and can be read on our website. But we promise you that we will keep pushing ourselves to create a sustainable model for our mag and come back with printed version of our mag very soon.

- Nest issue of Insight Young Voices to be released on 10th July

In this issue we are carrying interviews of 12 noted Dalit academicians, scholars, activists and religious leaders from different parts of the country. These interviews have been taken by a Dalit student group from TISS, Mumbai in collaboration with Insight Editorial Collective with an objective of mapping the various trajectories within the Dalit movement in last 25 years. The second series of 13 more interviews with similar objective will be published in the August 10th issue of our magazine.

We request our readers to visit our sites and provide us comments and suggestions to improve our efforts.

Thanks and regards

Insight Editorial Collective
