Bookstalkist Magazine Description:

There has never been a more transformational time for the fourth pillar of Indian democracy. New exponents and soldiers of this pillar are cropping up every day. In a time when news has become the salt of all Indian meals, it is incumbent upon the flag-bearers of this pillar to take a deep breath and measure its steps. The fulfillment of the Indian dream of an ideal democracy will be a function of rational journalism. Bookstalkist is born out of that contemplative catharsis of Indian journalism. We intend to be the foot soldiers of ethical and rational journalism and in this pursuit, we have let literature be our guiding light, our North Star.

The magazine talks about books, authors, literature, connections between various literary worlds, their socio-economic and socio-political significance, exciting literary events in various parts of the world and interviews of agents of change and development from all over the globe. Bookstalkist is the treasure map every bibliophile, literary enthusiast, and socially conscious individual would want to own on their venture to understand their world better.
