In a world increasingly torn by conflicts and divisions, the role of literature in fostering peace cannot be overstated. Shristi, a publication born from the passion and dedication of its editorial team, stands as a beacon of hope for those yearning for harmony in these turbulent times. With its latest issue, the magazine embarks on a profound journey into the realm of anti-war literature, bringing together voices from across the globe to advocate for peace and unity.

The heart of Shristi lies in its editorial team, spearheaded by the visionaries Ajit Kumar Chakraborty (Advisor) and Saibal Sankar Chakraborty (Editor). Supporting them is a passionate board of editors, including Biplab Majee, Dr. Siddhartha Sankar Chakraborty, Debasish Maharana, Kamalesh Nanda, and Bibek Maiti.

The magazine operates from its postal addresses in Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, under the meticulous management of Saibal Sankar Chakraborty.

The Editorial Message: A Call for Global Unity
The editorial for the latest issue of Shristi offers a poignant reflection on humanity's persistent struggle for peace. Despite the establishment of the League of Nations and the United Nations following two devastating world wars, the shadows of conflict continue to loom large. The editorial laments the clever schemes that fan the flames of violence and poison minds, making tranquility increasingly elusive.
However, amid this grim reality, Shristi offers a glimmer of hope. This special issue brings together poets from around the world, uniting their voices under the shared motto of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—"the world is one family." Through their poems, contributors explore the horrors of war and the universal longing for peace, emphasizing the interconnectedness of humanity.
The Challenges of a Global Mission
The editorial acknowledges the challenges faced in curating this issue, particularly the time and effort required to reach out to poets worldwide. Yet, the result is a testament to the enduring power of collaboration and creativity in promoting a noble cause.
A Tribute to Contributors and Readers
Editor Saibal Sankar Chakraborty extends heartfelt gratitude to all those who have enriched the latest issue of Shristi with their writings. The magazine’s mission is clear: to inspire readers to embrace peace, foster unity, and uphold the belief that humanity is a single family.
The Role of Anti-War Literature in Today’s World
Shristi serves as a reminder that literature has always been a powerful tool for reflection and change. By shedding light on the destructive consequences of war and celebrating the beauty of peace, the magazine not only informs but also inspires action.
Stay Well, Stay Healthy, Stay in Peace
As the editorial concludes, it leaves readers with a message of hope and resilience: "Stay well, everyone. Stay healthy. Stay in Peace." This simple yet profound wish encapsulates the essence of Shristi—a magazine that aspires to heal the wounds of division through the transformative power of words.
In a time when the world desperately needs voices of reason and compassion, Shristi stands tall as a literary platform committed to building bridges and nurturing a culture of peace.
