A voluntary initiative unaffiliated with any organization, Counterview accepts news stories, blogs, and articles on current events and policy changes. While original content is preferred, we may accept pieces published elsewhere, provided you retain the right to republish them.
While we do not adhere to a specific ideology, our content is geared toward a readership of academia, civil society, policymakers, experts, media professionals, and activists.
Content Standards
Your writing can be scathingly critical but must avoid overt propaganda for or against any political outfit, individual, or organization. Content should not be derogatory, incite hate, or be overtly promotional.
Even in commentaries or blogs, you must inform the reader with facts and figures. As a news blog, content should be anchored to a recent event; essay-type articles lacking concrete information will be rejected.

We reserve the right to edit or rewrite content, provide objective headings, and remove portions that suggest we are favoring a specific ideology.

Neville Cardus: The man who turned cricket writing into poetry

By Harsh Thakor*  Neville Cardus was one of the most remarkable literary figures of the twentieth century. A prolific English writer and critic, he achieved distinction in two vastly different fields: cricket and classical music. Entirely self-taught, Cardus rose from humble beginnings to become both the cricket correspondent and chief music critic of The Manchester Guardian . His achievements in these contrasting disciplines earned him widespread acclaim and established him as one of the foremost critics of his generation. In February 2025, the cricketing and literary world marked the fiftieth anniversary of his death, which occurred in February 1975.

​By Harsh Thakor*  The Maoist insurgency in India is arguably at its weakest point since the formation of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) in 2004. Years of sustained counterinsurgency operations, leadership losses, shrinking territorial influence, declining recruitment, and growing technological advantages enjoyed by the state have significantly eroded the movement's operational capabilities.

The Dalit body on screen: Stereotypes, sacrifice, and subjugation in Hindi films

By Dr. Prem Singh*  Despite centuries of reformist efforts, from Gandhi and Ambedkar to contemporary activists, the caste system remains deeply embedded in the Indian psyche. One of the primary reasons for this persistence is the religious sanction provided by Brahminical scriptures, which have shaped not only social structures but also cultural and artistic expressions.
