    So, is this primarily an Indo-centric enterprise? Appears to be founded on principles grounded in reason and critical inquiry–but is located in one of the most unjust places on earth, the United States. Why not take on something that needs doing locally?

      Not sure what you mean by ‘doing locally. The magazine was started by grad students in the US. But most of its work is done from a nondescript small town in India. As for ths US being the most unjust place, the editors of the magazine had lived in Canada in the past and can say without any doubt that Canada is a pretentious, white place. The US at least welcomes merit, Canada wallows in mediocrity.
