A new Edition and a new Theme.

Storytelling is a long-standing practice in human society. Since time
immemorial, stories have been a medium of communication. They
have been the strength of keeping people intact to the roots of their
culture, and they have been the binding force of preserving culture for
the future. In the last ten years, storytelling has emerged as an art,
with professional storytellers delivering stories from many cultures,
histories, and beliefs.

The birth of ‘Kahaani’, a desire to know others, and a willingness to
share his memories led to the origin of one of the basic foundations
of the History of Art- Katha. For a long time, the storyteller has been
searching for the secrets of his surroundings, which are rich with known
and hidden mysteries of the human psyche. People created stories for a
variety of reasons which included entertainment, information transfer
between generations, cultural legacy preservation, and warning others
of risks. As Brandon Sanderson quotes, “The purpose of a storyteller
is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think
upon.”Putting this across to the readers, we are out with our new theme,
“Storytelling: Generation to Generation” as our special edition.

In this Special Edition of ours, you will get to immerse yourself in the
world of the stories that have shaped the history of the subcontinent.
Accounts that have lived for aeons and would continue in the future

Each chronicle here will transport you to the past, where you will

cultural, religious, political change in the society. This edition will unite
