The View is a Daily News Bulletin fr=
om Svaraj, with a difference. From the news events repor=
ted
everyday, The View attempts to distill that
information which is crucial to everyday life – water, poverty and
livelihoods of marginalized communities - issues that cry for attention but=
can
and do get obscured in the larger media scene. These are stories that are
relevant to India and the world outside it. We hope The View will help you =
to
be more informed.
