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 w=
hich
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.
