A new editorial project curated by journalist and author Saket Suman
In a world fractured by conflict, shifting alliances, and a dominant Western gaze that often misconstrues the essence of ancient cultures, IndianRepublic.in is proud to announce the launch of its new flagship editorial initiative: “Know India” -- a powerful storytelling series that reframes India through Indian eyes.
At a time when global media coverage often reduces India to binaries -- either as a rising market or a turbulent democracy -- this series steps in to offer a contemporary lens rooted in depth, nuance, and authenticity.
It will spotlight transformative voices, gems of Indian
architecture, forgotten figures of influence, enchanted destinations, and outstanding literary works that shape contemporary Indian discourse -- for both
domestic and global readers.
“Know India” is a powerful counter-narrative, a reassertion of
India’s civilisational ethos and modern identity.
The series is curated and produced by Saket Suman, a
distinguished journalist, author, and literary chronicler whose career has been
defined by rigorous storytelling, fearless editorial integrity, and an
unwavering commitment to the truth.

construct a narrative matrix that is as plural as India itself.
