When Indian Newslink was established as an English language monthly in November 1999, its primary objective was to provide an avenue for people to express their views openly, without prejudice or malice.
That avenue was later expanded to include issues of concern to individuals, their problems (many of them personal) and grievances.
The penchant for innovative and investigative journalism grew with expanding readership and as the publication began to carry exclusive stories, reinforcing the need to serve the needs of people better.
Indian Newslink became a fortnightly in March 2003 and its progress thereon has been marked with diversification to make its existence more meaningful, taking it closer to the people.
Following are brief notes about us, as we step into the 14th year of our existence, seeking the continued support of our advertisers, readers, contributors, correspondents, distributors, sponsors, well-wishers and friends.
