Several people support Rasmi
knowing that this magazine is run by a few
volunteers and it is only to meet a part of the
costs in printing, postal, graphics, local
writer’s charges that they are requesting a
nominal subscription of 18 Euros or 25 Swiss
Francs . There are some who decline to support
giving excuses like that they reading several
publications from Kerala , no time , no reading
habit ,watching other Malayalam T.V. Chanels etc..
One person occupying an executive committee post
in an NRI association refused to subscribe stating
that Rasmi was below his standard . Asked if he
can give a better article for Rasmi , he shut his
mouth. He must have realised that “ To criticise
is easy, to do better is difficult “ The more
subscribers there are , the better it is as they
will be able to keep up the quality with better
pictures, contents, colour pages etc.. It gives
opportunities for NRIs in Europe to write on their
favourite topics or express their opinion if they
find that that they do not agree with the opinion
of the authors. A few controversial articles like
Gandhi by Avrachan Kadavil, Christ
who was never born or died by Sabu Jacob ,
Original Sin – An interpretation by Babu
Palathupattu provoked protests by a few readers .
But Rasmi allowed the readers to write freely
about their criticisms thus following the
fundamental principle of democracy .” I do not
agree with a word of what you say, but will defend
to death your right to say it “. |
