What the readers say about Drishtikone

In a time and age, where fake news and half-truths are the norm and almost every narrative is decidedly anti-India and anti-Hindu; Dristikone offers a different perspective. Jam-packed with history, current affairs, analyses, and insights, Drishtikone Newsletter is a hidden gem and a must read.

Drishtikone is a sincere and dedicated attempt to raise the voice of BHARAT and SANATAN DHARM in these turbulent times when multiple forces have come together against its message of SARV DHARM SAMBHAV and VASUDHAIV KUTUMBKAM , with lot of research and effort going into it !I Wish well to it , and am there with any contribution that I can make into it!

I’ve been following Drishtikone newsletters for a while. The selection of issues and their in-depth research make the articles a kind of source material for reference and further research. The presentation is interesting, enhanced with aesthetic visuals. I’ve recommended Drishtikone to my friends.

In times when having access to genuinely topical news and credible analysis is a sparse phenomenon, Drishtikone Newsletter offers a wide range of topics, notable perspectives and valuable insights. For the reader who is disillusioned with mainstream media, the difference that the newsletter makes is huge. Drishtikone Newsletter is a media endeavour I hold in esteem for its nuanced exposition of topics and events, albeit with a clear and uncompromising adherence to dhārmic Vastu and Vichāra.

Nowadays, every morning has become an eye-opener with a jolt to wake up from the lethargy. The newsletter from Drishtikone is far more effective in bringing me to senses than a cup of black coffee. It is amazing, how you guys draft this newsletter every day with such facts, figures, and statements on topics that people like me never knew the reality about. Every newsletter shakes off the web of ignorance from my mind. I always copy and paste part of the newsletter to my family members and friends on WhatsApp and the same reaction comes from them, "What? Really?" every time. Thank you so much for your efforts and dedication towards bringing these eye-opener topics to my inbox every day. Getting educated about the 'Truth' is a rare privilege nowadays.
