Good evening I liked the magazine- Unheard voices I just felt like different flowers in a beautiful garland attracting people and giving them a teaching about equality by telling their own experience.

It's an excellent growth in a very short period of time, but we must address some more issues dignity, victimology, indigenous healing systems which concerns the targeted community and society too.

Respected, I went through the latest issue of Unheard Voices, Really, it's an unheard voice of India. Particularly impressed by an article on Maharaja Sayajirao Gaikwad. Congratulations to the editor and both the author's for their such a great Contribution.

I learnt with pleasure that the esteemed Unheard Voices is coming out with a special number on the role and contribution of the marginalized and weaker sections of the society in the run up to Independence in August, 1947 and development and progress of the country thereafter on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Independence of India, an important milestone in our national life. I take this opportunity to wish the Unheard Voices all the best and success in its endeavors to realize its motto "Knowled for Empowerment" under the aegis of Social Studies Foundation. With the launch of the Unheard Voices on April 14, birth anniversary of Babasaheb B.R. Ambedkar, this year, I am reminded of the 'Mooknayak' - the mouthpiece of Babasaheb's struggle and mission in making the voices of the under-privileged heard during the freedom struggle from the colonial rule and also for the upliftment and empowerment of the socially depressed segments of the society. I am confident that the Unheard Voices and Social Studies Foundation would contribute positively in creating much need awareness in the society to integrate the socially marginalized sections with the main stream of the society at large. The idea of 'Samrasta' is the only way to strengthen the lofty principles of Equality, Liberty, Justice and Fraternity so rightly enshrined in our Constitution. I join you all happily in these endeavors and congratulate The Unheard Voices and Social Studies Foundation on the occasion. Greetings on the Independence Day.

I find the content and presentation of these rich and excellent. There are many issues which one can learn from articles. Vijendra Sonawane ji has articulated the objectives well. Please convey my greetings to him

Unheard Voices… Commonly we don't acknowledge many social disturbances inside and outside of our countries to our downtrodden hindus… . Yours this 4th published issue has encountered me to say that these things can be translated into Hindi too and in future in other regional languages also.. Anyway, I am going to do something. In one word… UNHEARD VOICES will be a game changer.

Unheard Voices actually covered not only unheard voices but also understood communities by major parts of society and which is the need of hour. India can become a super power only when grassroots people of India are allowed to put their contribution in this growth & it is possible only when they will get some job/work to earn their bread & butter. When we talk about GDP growth 8.5% lets focus on small scale industry. Bangladesh has already proven it by microfinance policy. Bangladeshi social entrepreneur, banker, economist and civil society leader Dr. Mohamad Yunus Founder of Grameen Bank and pioneering the concepts of microcredit and microfinance. This type of revolutionary concept can be adopted, implemented strongly to create economic and social development from a lower level. Peace and prosperity cannot be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty. Development must be made by contributed by and shared by each and every part of the society irrespective of their caste, religion, tradition. Unheard Voices is a great effort to make awareness of it.

Reading UNHEARD VOICES was refreshing. The editorials have admirable clarity of purpose and agenda. The non-polemical tone and tenor adopted for the critical issues taken up in essays, columns, interviews, reports and features propel this endeavour to the realm of discussion. This approach avoids unnecessary bickering over false binaries and shuns shrill debates. Interviews of the former CJI K G Balakrishnan, the ones on inter-caste marriages, on Safai Karmacharis (rightly called as Safai Sainiks in the interview) and real-life experiences of social worker Dr Anju Bala bring to fore moving experiences. Success stories of Mishri Bai, Dr Madam (Rekhaben) and Shreya Mendhe stand out. They demonstrate how women from underprivileged backgrounds can break through the proverbial glass ceiling. Reports on woes of the Mahadalits in the wake of crippling lockdowns indicate the extent of devastation the pandemic wreaked on the informal sector and economically vulnerable communities, in particular. It's just the tip of the iceberg. The report on silent and stellar contributions of the Dom & Valmiki communities flash a rare, but much-needed spotlight on their lived reality. The report on Dalit entrepreurship and MSMEs makes a case for tapping the unlimited potential of the underprivileged communities. This goes beyond 'mai-baap' trope and 'rights-based' viewpoints. Pieces on saints and seers Basavaveshwara, Kabir and Namdeo; unsung heroes of freedom struggle; icons Shankarrao Kharat and Prof Simhadri contextualise the past. The essay on Mithila paintings makes a layered case for looking at how art influences Dalits and vice-versa. The columns on New Education Policy explore opportunities and possibilities as well as point at the challenges that may come its way while implementing it on ground. All in all UNHEARD VOICES seems to be on track.

Thank you for sending me the copy of unheard voice... It's an incredibly informative and inspiring issue... If possible please keep sending me the upcoming issues as well... Looking forward to hearing from you.

Namaste, It was intriguing to read the Unheard Voices. The path was unknown to me. Thanks for the efforts. Would like to hear and read more of these Voices.

It's very well articulated. Articles on Constitution and Social Justice as well as on atrocity acts are informative, meaningful and time demanding. Dr. Ambedkar and EVR compromising analysis is worthwhile

Many thanks for your email of December 16, 2021 sending me good wishes for receiving the Padmashri Award. I have gone through the e-publication ‘Unheard Voices’ and found it very impressive. I thank you once again for including my name also in the publication.

Thank you so much for sharing with me the 14th Dec 2021 issue of your Unheard Voices, an e-periodical under the aegis of the Social Studies Foundation dedicated to the upliftment and due recognition of the people of the SC/ST communities. Your report “Recognised” covering the 15 SC/ST personalities that had been honoured with Padma awards for 2020 and 2021 is vivid and appealing. And thanks a lot for giving space to me as well in the report. Journals, initiatives and movements like yours with a positive and constructive spirit aimed at a harmonious Indian society should be the order of the day. And my views are the same as yours in this regard. May your mission receive the support it deserves and succeed well. Kudos to your entire team.

Thanks to the Padma Shri recipient Dr Asavadi Prakasa Rao who shared with me the 14th Dec 2021 issue (Vol. 1) of your Unheard Voices, I am very much touched with the report "Unrecognised" therein. The hardships and accomplishments of 15 of our SC/ST brethren and sisters brought tears of joy to me. I am a Brahmin having love & affection for the people of SC/ST communities. Your positive & constructive approach for ushering in an India of social harmony is the need of the hour and highly laudable as well as emulable. By the way, I was the official guest accompanying Dr Asavadi Prakasa Rao to the Rashtrapati Bhavan for the Padma investiture ceremony. Warm regards.

The Issues are outstanding collection of articles on very high order and meeting the need of the hour. The issues are excellent and should be read by a sensitive citizen of India.

I am very happy that you wrote about Dalit Hindus living in Pakistan and heard their pain. Because I have many relatives there who live in great difficulty. I have a suggestion that something should be written about those Dalits and Hindus living near the borders of both the countries who are related to each other. At the same time, we should also write about the displaced people coming to India.

An eye-catching fact of Ahilyabai as the protector of the State was that, she had learnt the map of the whole of India by heart. She knew every road, mountain and river on that map. She hardly ever left Indore but knew everything about every little part of India. Well-informed strategic and single-handed victory of the fort of Gohad under Jat’s rule by Ahilyadevi permanently embossed her name with golden letters in the pages of history.
