“One India One People”—The Magazine
To ignite the mind of every right thinking Indian, OIOP has been publishing a unique, thought-provoking monthly magazine called “One India One People” since the time the Foundation was established. In the issues published so far, we have covered socially relevant themes such as poverty, literacy, law and justice, health, corruption, corporate social responsibility, spirituality, managing disasters, public interest litigations, terrorism, water, accountability, etc. Eminent writers and professionals contribute to the magazine. The idea is to make people think about the problems of our country and to act upon them.
The USP of the magazine is its two popular sections Know India Better and Great Indians. Through these two sections, OIOP has been trying to propagate a larger cause, which is to preserve the Indian values, traditions and culture. Know India Better, as the name suggests is a 12-pg colour section that takes readers on a discovery of India. It covers various states, union territories, monuments, people, places of interest that highlight the rich heritage of India and make every Indian proud of his/her country. Great Indians is a section that profiles the lives of three great Indians who have made significant contribution to society and left their indelible mark on Indian soil.
Know India Better takes you on a discovery of the mystical land that is India. The journey takes you from the barren moonscapes of Ladakh to snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. From the wild jungles of Kaziranga to the Western heartlands of Maharashtra. From the ancient temples of Orissa to the stunning ruins of Hampi. In between, you may catch up with some festivity in the desert, cheer the spirit of Kutchis, admire the rural crafts and get acquainted with the rare flora and fauna of India. There are many more hidden treasures of India that you will discover for the first time in this book. The book is a visual delight as well and showcases some rare photographs. Bon Voyage!
We are all very familiar with legends like Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi. However, there are thousands of sons and daughters of India whose contribution to this country is priceless. This book profiles the lives of many lesser known, yet no less great, Indians. Among them are freedom fighters, writers, musicians, social activists, scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs and others whose stories are at once inspiring and humbling. The book is a tribute to 300 Great Indians who have left their indelible mark on Indian soil.
