It stopped its print edition last year and is now a free online magazine.
It currently has 800 subscribers.Īnanya Kalasinchana, a bilingual monthly music magazine, is published by Ananya, a non-profit cultural organisation based in Bengaluru. The journal has been in print since 1987 and focuses predominantly on theatre, art and culture. While financial troubles hindered publication, donations received from all over Karnataka helped. “We eventually clubbed two editions,” says K V Akshara, honorary director, Ninasam. Matukate, the quarterly magazine published by the well-known theatre institute Ninasam in Heggodu, faced similar problems. Plus, with the postal service being affected, we had no way of getting the magazines across to our subscribers,” he says. “The printers shut down during the lockdowns. With a team of five, it became difficult to bring out an edition every month, Ithal says. Rutha has brought out issues on a variety of themes, including feminism and tribal culture.
But sadly, Covid had other plans,” says Madhava Ithal, editor and publisher. “Our goal was to bring out an edition every month for 11 months, and one special edition at the end of the year. Rutha, launched in late 2019 from a home office in Basavanagudi, had published six editions when it had to take a break. Little magazines have faced a tough time over the past year but are now back, making up for lost time.
