We have a huge selection of articles this time:
1. Special section on Nandigram:
Many of you may remember Chirantan
Kundu's "Jhanki-darshan," a delectable satire that had spread through the internet like wild fire (I guess the term "viral message" was not in vogue then). An article in similar genre is his "Kabisammelan" in the current issue:
