Voice from the Margin
Dear Readers,
Panthi Web Magazine is pleased to share three powerful articles we’ve published recently, each offering a window into struggles often overlooked.
The first investigates what unfolds in India’s so-called Red Corridor under the banner of Operation Kagar, a name that hides a brutal reality. The second is a theoretical inquiry into why many ideological traditions remain silent on capitalism and its deep-rooted impacts. The third piece revisits a historic injustice in a temple town once known for devotion, now entangled in questions of justice, caste, and institutional silence.
We urge you to read, reflect, and share these voices. If you value independent media that speaks from the margins, please consider supporting our work with a donation. Your solidarity keeps us going in difficult times.
Warm regards,
Team Panthi

“Silent Graves by the River”: Alleged Mass Murders and Institutional Cover-up in Dharmasthala
Despite a witness providing skeletal remains and detailed testimony on crimes he says were orchestrated by individuals linked to the powerful temple administration, authorities have delayed action, and much of the national and state media and political establishment remains shamefully silent. With literally hundreds of murders of young women alleged, this could be one of India’s gravest institutional cover-ups, if only the country would dare to look.
