Print Media–Hindi
By Aakriti Mandhwani
Through her study of several issues of Sarita, Mandhwani emphasizes that it was, by nature, contemporaneous, modernizing and multi-dimensional; collapsed distinctions between genders and also public and domestic spaces; commented on social and familial structures; eschewed linguistic chauvinism and a homogenized nationalistic sensibility; questioned mythic beliefs and even reconfigured practices of gendered reading by means of a range of literary, non-fictional and critical pieces and advisories.
