Indian Music Lovers is a not-for-profit, web-based magazine to promote, nourish and collect; ideas and thoughts on Indian music. It is a passionate attempt to bring together all Indian music fanatics to discuss events, artists, albums, review a concert, and publish ideas on Indian music scene.

It is fairly evident that India at the moment is culturally at an inflection wherein there are hitherto unforeseen shifts in urban India’s social attitudes, behavior, values and human relationships. This radical emergence of a neo-urban culture presents our generation with an opportunity to forge and shape our literary sensibilities within a very unique Indian sub-context. It is equally evident that within the present Indian print media, there is a severe need for a literary magazine wherein intellectual ideas of the highest order being expressed about and or by young Indians need to be presented and discussed. It is within this space and context that Indian Music Lovers has a potential role to play, for the promotion and discussion of ideas and thought around Indian music. The major focus of Indian Music Lovers is to present and promote writing of the highest order about interesting topics for a general audience; wherein every topic is believed to be as important and exciting as the other when written well.

The central idea of this magazine is to publish articles from a few featured writers along with aspiring writers in each of the areas outlined in the subsequent section. The featured writers are primarily young men and women who are exploring a variety of areas at the cutting edge and have a lot of interesting ideas to talk about the directions in which they perceive Indian Music is heading in. Most of these articles by featured writers will be accompanied by articles from aspiring writers in that area giving them an opportunity to publish alongside with some of the leading thinkers of our generation.

This site is a collective and the role of the audience and the writers is as important as the editors. The editors will beg, plead, threaten, maul to squeeze articles out of a list of featured writers on any theme that the writer would like to explore in. It is certainly an uphill battle to obtain articles from aspiring writers; however that in many ways is what this magazine aspires to do – promote young Indian writing in music. The magazine being a not-for-profit effort has no real fiscal and economic market forces to play against.

Indianmusiclovers is the community welcoming writers, bloggers and musicians to blog, discuss, discover and promote ALL kinds of Indian music.
