Alt-Reich

The “alt-right”—a new white-supremacist movement—is gathering pace across the Western world, especially after the election of US President Donald Trump. At the centre of it is Arktos Media, a publishing house founded and fostered in India, that has organised meetings with powerful Indian politicians, and has links to radical right-wing parties across the globe. Its story is just one part of the overlooked Indian roots, both material and ideological, of the alt-right. Carol Schaeffer reports on the movement.

 

Also in this issue:

 

The dark history of the word “pariah”; what the right-to-privacy judgment means for India’s abortion law; India’s struggles over what counts as knowledge the booming wig trade between India and Africa; how the termination of drought relief will affect communities in Lesotho; and much more.

The country's first and only publication devoted to narrative journalism, The Caravan occupies a singular position among Indian magazines. It is a new kind of magazine for a new kind of reader, one who demands both style and substance.
Since its relaunch in January 2010, the magazine has earned a reputation as one of the country's most sophisticated publications-a showcase for the region's finest writers and a distinctive blend of rigorous reporting, incisive criticism and commentary, stunning photo essays, and gripping new fiction and poetry. Its commitment to great storytelling has earned it the respect of readers from around the world.
• "India's best English language magazine", The Guardian, London
• "For those with an interest in India, it has become an absolute must-read", The New Republic, Washington
The Caravan fills a niche in the Indian media that has remained vacant for far too long, catering to the intellectually curious and aesthetically refined reader, who seeks a magazine of exceptional quality.
