What They Said

I read at least half a dozen periodicals but none of them as frank and bold like “ISSUES & CONCERNS”.
Many hidden and unheard news items to know. This makes me to understand that the Editor and his team are well read and informed on day to day happenings around the Globe. I also admire the frankness and advice of Prof. B.M. Hegde in his articles particularly in respect of Medical Profession and Multinational Pharma Companies. In the September 2015 issue on Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, the People’s President, the Missile Man and a fitting man to receive Bharat Ratna country's highest award, is apprecialted.
Wishing Good luck to you and your entire team of ISSUES & CONCERNS.

Dear All Ardent Readers of the Issues and Concern.
It is indeed a triumph of personal endeavours to achieve what ordinary mortals like me cannot even dream to tread.
Shri Shriyan has achieved an important milestone in his journey to create an awareness about the real problems which has besieged India over the past Fifteen long years. I have been one of those bystanders who has kept an incredible distance and not been a part of his endeavour to create such awareness.
I have been reading his articles but not really contributing in any way to help him make his journey easier. 
I congratulate him for his grit and determination to carry out the work he has taken on for the last Fifteen years, I read his Editor's Column without fail and his Month in Perspective is truly an insight and trip to all the happenings in around all the States/UTs of India. Shri Shriyan touches the most core issues be of poverty, human bondage, corruption, health, barbarism, nepotism, negligence etc...you name it...its there.
I appeal to all the fraternity who read ISSUES & CONCERNS to please spread the good word and the work being carried out by Shri Shriyan relentlessly.
May God Bless him with good health and spirits to carry on this agenda which is very close to his heart.
Venkatesh Shriyan, Mumbai,  via email


Kudos! Hats off! for the magnificent completion of 15 long years of non-stop publication of this epoch making periodical ISSUES & CONCERNS. Being a reader for over 10 years, it has been an extremely satisfying journey into a unique world of letters. Despite plethora of news material available on the news stand, I&C has tried to deflect the reader from routine news and views to a silent  reflection on ISSUES, we face & Concerns we ought to have. Like a reader had put it long ago “Any one take up issues. It takes immense courage to take up issues as your own and address them, because they concern you”. I salute the people behind the bold venture for taking issues head-on without fear or favour. This magazine is undoubtedly “be the change you want to see in the world”. Its editorial in the older format and the current Month-in-Perspective is a great reading material. It is indeed an insightful effort in journalism. Wish it grows from strength to strength.

NEW DELHI: BHARAT RATNAS GALORE ,P>At five, this is the maximum number of the highest civilian award of Bharat Ratnas declared in one year. Beginning with former Bihar Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur and then followed by former Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani. After a lull of a few days comes the announcement of Mankombu Sambasivan Swaminathan or more well known as M.S. Swaminathan, the acclaimed father of Indian Green Revolution, followed by Chaudhary Charan Singh, a former Prime Minister and 2 times Chief Minister of U.P. and P.V. Narasimha Rao, a former Prime Minister. Truth of the matter is except Lal Krishna Advani, who is past 96 years of age, all others have passed away. This government at the centre is there since last almost 10 years, and attempting to remain continued for another term. This government could have conferred the honor all these years, but it didn’t happen for varieties of reasons. However it’s better late than never. It could even be termed a politi...

ELECTION – 2024 – 2029 How Formidable is Narendra Modi for opposition to Challenge! But who is Modi – Narendra Damordas Modi? A resident of Vadnagar, in north eastern Mehsana district of Gujarat where he completed his schooling. Born in Sept 1950, he started to attend the local RSS Shakha at the age of 8, where he met his future mentor Laxman Rao Inamdar. Public space informs that, he used to help his father in his tea stall in Vadnagar railway station. There appears to be some confusion on this, since it was only in 1970, the railway station was set-up in Vadnagar. But, there’s also a mention that Vadnagar had a meter guage train running since 1930, which means, there could have been some shelter which could pass-off as a railway station. At the age of 17, probably after finishing his schooling, he left home for Ramakrishna Math Ashram in Rajkot, then to Ramakrishna Ashram Belur Math in West Bengal and from there to Almora to be in Swami Vivekananda’s Ashram. Public space also info...

TEMPLE IN AYODHYA- An Overdue STATEMENT 22nd January 2024, shall mark as a very significant day in the contemporary history of India that is Bharath. It was the day the long awaited temple for Lord Rama, the Maryaada Purushottam in the Indian pantheon of God heads, was formally consecrated at Ayodhya. The ‘500 years old’ wait is over, so informs public space. It has ended the alien influence that had disturbed the national conscience from times immemorial. However belated, the temple at Ayodhya has been an unprecedented development. It’s a statement all Indians, Hindus in particular, can be comfortable to align it. Yes, this temple at Ayodhya did wipe out a historical humiliation, where an existing temple was destroyed some 500 years ago to build an alien place of worship. It was a statement then, for the alien force, only to humiliate us. Yes, at long last we could reverse it, at our own terms, within the precincts of law and order. Indeed, the temple at Ayodhya has proved that rev...
