The cover page is attractive and gives the feeling of a magazine about armed forces at the first glance.

The thoughtful editorial and Sudharma Newspaper

We have repeatedly said that we consider the Editorial as one of the most important part of any printed media. As it not only serve as a bridge between the reader and the editor, but it also provides editor a chance to share his/her vision about the magazine issue, how the content is curated and/or about surroundings or latest happenings. Needless to say that it also gives the editor a chance to convey anything important to the readers.

The editorial of July 2016 issue of Safari is a not to miss one. Editor Harshal Pushkarna talks abo
ut how much (maximum) should be content v/s advertisement ratio in any magazine/newspaper, as per the guidelines. He then iterates that how some English newspapers are not following it and trying to focus more on earning money only. Harshal then talks about a Sanskrit newspaper named SUDHARMA. He brilliantly talks about how Sampath Kumar runs the newspaper just for the sake of true journalism and saving Sanskrit, the oldedst language from India.

The newspaper is not making any profit and it is alarming, they require more subscriptions, advertisements and financial support.

Hessdalen lights of Norway are vary famous, especially among travelers. There is actually an entire website is there dedicated to it, which you can visit at: http://www.hessdalen.org/index_e.shtml.

We are however going to talk about an article from July 2016 issue of Safari which is focused on the species which possess high pitch sound. Most of us know that the sound is measured in Decibels (DB in short). This article talks about the following species:

You will definitely enjoy reading about these noisy animals 🙂

In 1965, Pakistan attacked Dwarka through Naval forces. Indian Navy was however commanded to not to retaliate, for unknown reason! These things didn’t went will with many Navy officers, including Vice Admiral Bhaskar Sadashiv Soman. Later on an operation named Operation Trident was planned and executed.

There is a very detailed article about this operation. The article also talks about the background, i.e. the sequence of actions which was responsible for this operation and how it is planned and executed. Definitely must read article.

One of the most important article of the magazine is about the weapons used by special forces of India. the article starts from the last cover page and is very detailed.
