  • Solan is also seeing another kind of crowning to match its Karol- cultural; INDIA REDEEMING- Educaion & Literary Quarterly has begun publishing. It is a brave effort to pioneer redeeming of India. That is a seminal essay on our nationhood as it cries for care as for release from clutches of corruption. Satyan Sir is leading the brigade. All Solan lovers would do good to give a helping hand- after all it is a challenge unlike any other. Besides, it holds promise to really bring Solan on top of literary world. The Quarterly is focused on matters of transnational significance which, when tended, could see Solan give our troubled nation an important lead. So, bravo! To works!
  • I love my solan,i visited many places bt none other is beautiful more than this city,i apriciate the efforts of satyan sir,as he is adding charm to its beauty by publishing"india redeeming",this megzine would bring solan forefront globly in forthcoming future,thnkx to satyan sir.
