Hindi Periodicals: The Little Tradition

Abstract

How is it that India’s leading language does not even have a national magazine, commercial or otherwise, worth its name but can yet support a number of literary periodicals with readerships running into several thousands? Their readers live in the unlikeliest of places; places that last saw glory during the independence movement and have since been falling off the map:Cities like Balia, Gaya, Banaras, Gorakhpur, Jhansi. The success of the little magazine, the evident hunger with which people demand it, not merely in the mofussils but also in the metropolises, cries for an explanation.
