Open Forum

As an open forum, Counterview strives to reflect diverse perspectives—through news stories, articles, and blogs—for those who believe that official information is not necessarily synonymous with authenticity. We provide a platform for those who prefer not to rely solely on "mainstream" media, which often depends heavily on information from official sources. Our aim is not to dictate how readers should think, but to provide a space for reflection on different, and often opposing, news and views.
Why are we called "Counterview"? A closer look at the term reveals an interesting nuance: it does not merely mean "an opposite point of view," but also "a position in which two dissimilar things illustrate each other by opposition; contrast." In this sense, Counterview connotes the reflection of news and views from alternative, and even contrasting, quarters.
As a purely voluntary initiative, Counterview is not supported by any organization. We invite you to enrich this effort by contacting us.

To Sonam Wangchuk: 'Will undertake 70 hour solidarity fast in Gujarat'

By Martin Macwan *  Dear Colleague Sonam Wangchuk, I have never met you personally. I wrote a short article at the time of your arrest. Your work correctly introduces you. There is truth in your words. You have embarked on a fast, following the footsteps of Gandhiji. Your intention is to make people think. Your demand is reasonable; I believe that the resignation of a single education minister will not improve the state of education in India. However, the question you have raised is extremely important for the future generation of the marginalized. Education is the key to power, development, and progress, which empowers a citizen.
