This is in connection with Sumanta Banerjee’s article, “Remembering the Past, Continuing with the Present” (EPW, 12 August 2017). In this article, he narrated his long association with EPW as a writer, and the journey of the journal under the editorship of Krishna Raj and his successor, C Rammanohar Reddy.

I broadly agree with his characterisation of the journey. What is most important for us is to ensure that EPW continues to address the predicaments and possibilities of our troubled times.
