I doubt if we will see full-fledged magazine focused on Indian history as there are not many who write popular history. Once in a while we could come up with a Pragati special issue. Thanks Hari.

Really enjoyed reading your essays. Sometime in the future, will we see a full-fledged India-focused magazine on history? There's very little history written for the lay person. Even if you forgive Romila Thapar for her biases, you can never forgive her for her writing: it's so dull, any curious reader will make sure he stays away from Indian history after reading her work.
