Dear IFAN members,
This is my first attempt to set up a blog for our members. This could be adapted and modified, as the blog becomes a more effective medium for communication between the members. For some time we felt that a blog might be more effective means of communication than a email list. So I hope you will use it to share information, ideas, and help nurture this liberal network in India.
Please feel free to post your comments, and provide links to your blogs and websites.
Please allow me to take the first shot at information sharing. We have created a new web site www.InDefenceofLiberty.org This is a kind a web based liberal newspaper and media clippings that seek to promote liberal values and ideas in India, and across Asia. You could become a partner, and publish your own articles and recommend relevant articles. It has a user friendly CMS to help the partners publish their articles. The articles can be classified in major sections as per their subject. And there is a keyword feature that allows the articles to be searched more easily.
The difference between this web site, and this blog is that the web site has a more formal structure, and the published material are more or less stand alone articles. This blog I presume will be more informal in character, with network members being able to quickly know about others, and jot down their grief comments in the process of a dialogue.
That is all for now. Let me see how this comes out on the blog.
To liberalism,
Barun Mitra
