Pravasi Parivar
The August edition of India Empire that was devoted to the Indian diaspora was a fitting tribute to the sons and daughters who are cut off—temporarily or permanently, for better or for worse—from their motherland. A magazine like yours is sorely needed to speak up for the PIOs and NRIs. Thanks a tonne.

The Pravasi voice has been finally carried to the rest of the world thanks to India Empire. I have no doubt that yours is the only magazine that caters to the NRI voice worldwide. There may be bigger publications in the US or UK but India Empire has a much bigger footprint.

The brand new section where you publish country-specific developments is interesting. It would be great if you have illustrations too.

Fixing lives
Dr Fixit or Bashir Ahmed of Kashmir is doing an amazing job amidst all that terror. I can’t imagine what it must be to get to work expecting blood, broken jaws and screams of innocent people, including children. And all that on a daily basis. He deserves all support in such a noble task. If people just stopped blowing up each other in the Valley, and started reconstructing their lives, Dr Ahmed’s efforts won’t go in vain.

Health plus
Your health section is a major reason why I buy your magazine. Apart from Yogi Ashwini’s practical yoga tips to Dr Sharma’s psycho-talk, there is a lot more on beauty and ayurveda that is interesting. In fact, you can have a health supplement once a year.

I liked Yogi Ashwini’s column on the digestive system. The elementary canal is a crucial part of the body and if it’s kept in fine shape, the person will tick along like a well tuned clock. In the epic
Mahabharata, there is Bhim who is blessed with a fire in his belly that he is able to digest any kind of food, including poison. As he is huge and needs to eat large quantities of food, the gods give him the extra digestive power. Most people, however, have a normal fire. Yogi Ashwini is right; this digestive fire if not satisfied in proper time brings about imbalance in the whole system resulting in ailments in the body.

In search of roots
Shundell Prasad's Once More Removed: A Journey Back to India is indeed a pathbreaking film about people of Indian origin. The amount of research that has gone into the film is extraordinary for a film that is India-based. I’m sure a lot of people out there in Trinidad & Tobago, Fiji, Mauritius and so on, would like to know where they came from. They have a fair idea that they were from Uttar Pradesh or Bihar or Tamil Nadu but they can’t really put a finger on the nearest town or village. But if they resort to some sort of DNA mapping, they may actually locate their family members. Your magazine should write about such technologies. If anthropologists in the West can talk about pinpointing Adam and Eve’s place of origin—somewhere in Africa—I’m sure the same techniques can be used to locate the ancestry of PIOs.
