Abroo (ਆਬਰੂ) Magazine: Call for Articles
Deadline: 28th February, 2011
(Also read, Articles on the Punjabi Subaltern).
Abroo (ਆਬਰੂ) is a soon-to-be-launched bilingual (English and Punjabi) print magazine which will cover the state of social, political, economic and religious affairs in Punjab, while also acting as the voice of weaker and oppressed sections of society. It aims to provide a scholastic, scientific and nonpartisan critique, free from superficiality or rhetoric.
In a novel attempt to synergize new and contemporary media, the Abroo.in portal will act as a digital extension to the magazine, with extended references, videos and podcasts on the covered topics. This initiative has got the backing of some leading Punjabi intellectuals, politicians and academicians.
We are seeking articles for the inaugural edition on varied themes like current affairs, politics, economics, sociology, theology, literature, art and poetry. Being a non-profit venture, remuneration should best not be expected. The submissions, ranging from 1000-6000 words, should be in English or Punjabi (eventually published in both).
The articles can be emailed to pukhraj@abroo.in, along with a brief profile of the author, no later than 28th February, 2011.
