Pahal (magazine): Difference between revisions

''Pahal'' has held a distinct [[leftist]] leaning right since its inception. This can be partly attributed to the fact that its founding editor, Gyanranjan, is a noted leftist intellectual. ''Pahal'' has always laid emphasis on depicting the complexities of modern Indian society and problems arising thereof. The issues of [[Dalit#Reform_movements|Dalit]] and [[Feminism in India|women's emancipation]] have been given adequate coverage, both at literary and debate levels, from time to time.

Besides its compelling literary content, ''Pahal'' is also famous for the booklets that it publishes (besides the issues) from time to time--often featuring the works of a prominent foreign author, long poems and debates on topics of socio-political significance. Past booklets have introduced readers in India, often for the first time, to the works of such stalwarts of world literature as [[Miroslav Holub]], [[Afzal Ahmed Sayyed]] and [[Edward Said]]. A recent booklet focuses on poetry from the North-eastern states of India, often referred to as the [[Seven Sisters States|Seven Sisters]].
