The best of Gujarati writing, curated for 4.9 million diaspora

The Ekatra Foundation, a United States-based nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Gujarati language and literature, has launched a digital magazine called 'Vachan Milap' to reach out to the Gujarati diaspora. The magazine aims to provide a curated selection of contemporary Gujarati writings to readers, including those living outside India, who may find it challenging to access the vast array of Gujarati publications.

With an estimated 4.9 million Gujarati diaspora in India, and 3.6 million of them residing outside Gujarat, the initiative seeks to cater to the need for authentic and enriching content. By offering intelligent and thought-provoking literature, 'Vachan Milap' hopes to bridge the gap between the abundance of Gujarati literature and the limited access available to its readers.
