About The Bangalore Review in Horamavu, Bangalore

The Bangalore Review is a magazine aimed at promoting literature, arts, culture, philosophy and criticism at a deeper level. Conforming to our mission of giving back to the society, the magazine will remain a non-profit venture and shall be managed under a trust run by the three founding editors.

The question of what purpose this magazine serves would be on the minds of some of our readers. Our explanation follows here. As booklovers from childhood, we grew up loving the written word, both contemporary as well as classic, and depended upon them for our intellectual nourishment. Having grown into adulthood though, we find the world around us to have changed in many ways. With the shortage of time in our daily lives, lighter, shorter and surface-thin plots have acquired more prominence over the more thought-inducing literature that we used to read. We found that this is not just the state of literature.

All of arts and even our cultures have undergone such changes in recent times. The thought of it distressed each of us in the deepest trenches of our hearts. We owe the society we grew up in for the books we read and the knowledge we earned. Our purpose in launching The Bangalore Review is to give back, in our own way, to society what it lent us. And it is not our task alone, it is yours too.

While The Bangalore Review strives to inculcate the habit of not just reading but the reading of good literature in the youth of today, it also aspires to be an unbiased, nonrestrictive platform for young and promising independent writers. The editorial team seeks to strike a balance between the old and the young, the published and the unpublished, the known and the unknown, and the mainstream and the unconventional, while curating the articles for each edition.
