Little magazines have been an integral part of history of Bengali literature. It is something more too-in fact, it is like a quaint little world in itself. In their own quiet and unassuming ways, little magazines try to provide some famous and mostly not so famous writers and their connoisseurs a common platform to exchange their views and spread the wings of their imagination. As the name suggests, little magazines are literally little in their size, readership and promotion and probably lifespan too, but the effort behind them have never been too little and neither have they been short of imagination and inspiration. The relevance of little magazines cannot be gauged by the size of their readership but from the fact that little magazines are epitomes of loud protests against commercial necessity of zipping everything between two cover pages as also the fact that little magazines are as much a part of Bengali literary movement as anything else.

SRISHTI is an endeavour to bring together these efforts and take to all corners of the world. SRISHTI will be a common ground for different Bengali little magazines where recent issues will be hosted, the previous issues will be available in the archive section. SRISHTI will also host paintings, photography and music in the MP3 format.

We request those who are working within the world of culture and literature to send us informative and research/review oriented articles on the sections of our site and other cultural fields such as photography, painting, sculpture and music. We also invite artists to send their works in CDs and/ or cassettes along with a short introduction about them and their contact address.
