Tinpahar is a bimonthly, bilingual (English and Bengali) Indian online magazine that promotes art, literature, and culture with the motto, "Free and Fertile".

History

[edit]

The magazine was established by Arkajit Mandal and Siddharth Sivakumar. The idea of Tinpahar was developed from Resonance, a magazine edited by Siddharth and published by Patha Bhavana and Visva Bharati. It was launched on 14 September 2012.

Activity

[edit]

Tinpahar has special columns dedicated to comparative literature, arts, and gender studies in India.[1]

Tinpahar aspires to erase the boundaries between discrete academic disciplines of literature, linguistics, philosophy, sociology, history, anthropology, art history and so on in order to create a "free and fertile" space for constructive discourses on/in humanity.[2] Recently Tinpahar has initiated a programme to support enthusiastic groups engaged in serious cultural endeavours by making them websites for free. The upcoming Tamil website of Tinpahar will act as a platform for students to express themselves on matters of humanities, arts, music, and literature.[3][4]

In 2014, Tinpahar was the publishing partner of the Poetry Slam hosted by the Literary Society, Presidency University.[5] In 2015 Tinpahar became one of the Online Media Partners of the Festember festival.[6]
