Namasthe! Thank you very much for giving an opportunity to present my paper on “Concerned Journalism”: Women’s Concern  in the Seminar held recently.  It was befitting  giving a fillip to women on the eve of Women’s Day
-Dr. Mangammal Chary, Hyderabad

Your editorial in the Jan-March issue of Triveni, will do its modest bit in reviving the virtues of tolerance, compassion, heroism, patriotism and hospitality of Indians including all minorities.  The objective of the editorial is clear - it shows the positive factors of national integration.  One day I read it and on the next I witnessed the one-day cricket match at Karachi.  The Pakistani spectators, quite unlike their past selves of hostile attitude, turned friendly towards our Indian team.  It is heartening to see the coincidence between the thought of the editorial and the changed nature of the spectators in Pakistan.

“Your editorial this time might stir up the patriotic spirit among Indians irrespective of their caste and creed.  In fact, in Post-Independence period, some of the so-called political leaders, be it of right or left force, have played the minority card in a dastardly manner to strengthen their own vote bank – not to  bring the minority community any benefit in reality.  But we should not forget the legacy of some of the great Indians who were Indians first and then Muslims, like Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, Nauser Ali, M.C. Chagla, Kazi, Nazrul Islam,Syed Mujtaba Ali, Rezaul Karim etc.- to name a few.  So maintaining communal harmony for national integration should be our prime motto.”
              -Dr Manas Bakshi, Bhadrakali (W.B.)

“…it is an issue (Triveni, Jan-Mar 04) of absorbing interest with every one of the articles, essays and poems inspiring.  You have wisely chosen in your leading article to recount the acts of bravery and supreme sacrifice by our armed forces, many of them from the so-called minority communities.,, to silently remind that we are all one nation. Our proudest asset is our armed forces….. Some of the poems raise issues concerning the human condition and the enigmas of our existence..”
                   - Srinivasa Rangaswami, Chennai

The Jan-March issue contains some very good articles and poems. I marvel at your encyclopaedic knowledge of Indo-Pak conflict as is evident from your very fine editorial – Heroism of soldiers of the minority communities”. The editorial very convincingly brings out the fact how soldiers of all minority communities dwelling in India have sacrificed their lives in war against Pakistan and proves without doubt that India is an integrated nation, symbolising unity in diversity”

“As a regular reader of this highly intellectual Quarterly I have deep appreciation for this publication.  The privilege of carrying the torch forward has been given to you, an able and committed Editor.  The subject for the National Seminar is very timely, the need of the hour for our beloved country.”
                    - D. S. Chinndorai, Coimbatore
“I am sure that the celebrations on the 3^rd and 4^th of March, 2004 will be remembered for a long time to come and cherished by the TRIVENI family.  It is particularly gladdening that this memorable and landmark occasion is done under your leadership. TRIVENI has encouraged me so much that its kindness will forever be preserved in my heart.”
                        -Dr. B. Parvathi, Visakhapatnam

“For 75 years, TRIVENI, has published valuable, thought-provoking and inspiring articles by eminent writers from different parts of our country and abroad, upholding moral and spiritual values and highlighting the finest aspects of our heritage and culture.  It has never published distasteful articles, indecent pictures or crime and violence-ridden stories for the sake of money or cheap popularity. It has always given the utmost importance to its cherished goal of propagating ‘idealism in every sphere of public life’ ’’
               -M .G. Narasimha Murthy, Hyderabad

“ TRIVENI stood like a rock facing so many trials and has established its reputation.  Wishing the function (Platinum Jubilee celebrations) every success.”
             -Dr. Janamaddi Hanumat Sastry, Kadapa

“Thanks for the invitation for Platinum Jubilee celebrations.  Had I known this earlier, I would have presented a paper. I wish the National Seminar every success.  Congratulations for conducting such a good programme”.

“That this journal, wedded to literature, History and Culture as conceived by its founder, K. Ramakotiswara Rao, of hallowed memory and scrupulously sustained by its succeeding authorities in general and the present Board of Trustees in particular, is flourishing should give supreme satisfaction to the READERS also.  At this memorable juncture it is but fair, we should remember the saintly soul B. Narasimha Rao.  May this journal continue for ever!”
