As the fault-lines of Middle East and South Asia simmer, we try to fight the discourse of \'Orientalism\' all over again... Presenting our July 2014 Cover \"What\'s Taking Their Place?\"

“With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else.”
—Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

“It’s in literature that true life can be found. It’s under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth.”
—Gao Xinjian

“When the power of love will replace the love of power, then will our world know the blessings of peace.”
—William Gladstone

Make love, not war, goes the old cliché. It is all we need, say the Beatles in a song that begins with the opening bars of ‘La Marseillaise’—a profoundly violent song that mentions watering furrows with impure blood—and ends with “She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah.” It has been celebrated in story and song for centuries; to quote Dumbledore, it is a force at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than human intelligence, than the forces of nature. But what are the politics of love? What is the nature of its power, and are there limits to that power: does it really conquer all? Who are the forces ranged against it, and what are the tools they use to police it? And is love simply emotion, or a decision, or a chemical reaction? What are the labours associated with it? These and other such questions are debated in Kindle’s February issue, dedicated to solving that riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma that Haddaway posed to the world: what is love?

The global wave of sympathy that followed the publication of the picture of three-year-old Alan Kurdi, was soon replaced by paranoia and demonization, especially following the Paris attacks: innocent people escaping death and destruction, surviving dangerous journeys to uncertain futures, only to be compared to rats and bracketed with the very murderers they are fleeing. Kindle Magazine dedicates its January issue to questions of migration around the world, to exploring the causes that force them to leave their homes and the many difficulties they face, to asserting the humanity of these desperate souls.

It has been difficult to hammer out a response that seems the right one to the election verdict - as we resiliently wait and watch how it all unfolds, our writers have responded variously - to the Modi sarkaar - here\'s presenting to you, our latest.

Celebrating Gabriel Garcia Marquez and his contribution to literature.

Kindle Presents Living with the \"Languages\". A special issue on languages and their influence.

The election circus is back in town. As of now, the poll chess game is wide open. All we have to do is hear the sounds of silence amidst the cacophony, even while the Nazi drum beats grow louder.

Post the Supreme Court verdict on Section 377, there have been a lot of protests. Quite rightly so but we at Kindle, do not believe that it is about any fringe group. it is about our bodily autonomy which the state cannot police. Hence our new cover \"We are all Queer\". We bring to you essays, interviews and photographs that celebrate the resilience of the body.

Our January edition takes you on a journey where food and politics combine while owning up to our inner morality. All this while in conversation with culinary legends in Anthony Bourdain and Ferran Adria.

This year\'s issue covers everything about the year that was, from Sir Alex Ferguson\'s life to making 3D ears.

The Bookstores and the Ocean...
Remembering and cherishing our memories of soon fading out bookstores.

The naked emperors continue to haunt us - with their pot bellied hunger for numbers, sagging ideologies, and phantom like movements; yet, we continue to believe in these Gods of democracy. Its about time, someone blew the whistle on a farce, we tend to relive, again and again.

From this month, Kindle changes its tagline from \'Critical Reflective Journalism\' to Ideas. Imagination. Dialectics\'

This month, we try to look beyond normalcy, beyond notions of \'anger transforming into optimism\' and ask a very simple question: IS KASHMIR HAPPY?
