• May I thank you for your letter enclosing therewith a copy of the September issue of Re-Markings containing a review of my autobiography, Wings of Fire. My greetings and best wishes-- Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Hon’ble President, Republic of  India.

·        I received this afternoon the gorgeous September 2002 issue of RE-MARKINGS, which truly humbled me and filled me with gratitude when I saw the back cover, your editorial, and kind inscription. I am in your debt, Nibir. And I'm very eager to read the contents of RE-MARKINGS., especially T.S. Anand's "The Black in Saul Bellow's Novels." Long ago, back in the '70s when I was reading Bellow, I focused on and found myself troubled by his portraits of black Americans---precisely the images Anand refers to early in his article. This is a piece I am eager to finish reading, along with so many of the others. You are publishing terrific, useful scholarship! -- Charles Johnson, Author of Middle Passage, Dreamer, Soul- Catcher and other Stories, Winner of National Book Award , USA , & Director, Creative Writing Program, University of Washington , Seattle , USA

• My Congratulations on the debut of Re-Markings. The inaugural issue is promising and one hopes that it will maintain its high standard of Scholarship and academic excellence. Your Editorial in the second issue of Re-Markings is appropriate. The issue no. 2 is a remarkable achievement in its own right. The journal has established its mark – so early in its infancy – atleast among the ‘elite’ – scholars, book-lovers, critics.--Dr. Bhoopendra Hooja, Chief Editor, Indian Book Chronicle, Jaipur.
  

• Thanks so much for the wonderful edition of Re-Markings. It's such a thrill to see my article and fiction in there. It looks very good. I just got back from Cambridge where I saw Charles Johnson give the Paul Tillich lecture at Harvard.  I mentioned you and the journal, and he said the journal was "very classy." -- 
  Dr. Jonathan Little, Author of The Dolphin Life and Charles Johnson’s Spiritual Imagination & Chair,Department of English, Alverno College ,  Milwaukee , USA .

• Many thanks for the copy of Re-Markings, which looks like a rich collection
  of essays. I look forward to reading it. --Dr. Morris Dickstein, Author of Leopards in the Temple: The Transformation of American Fiction, 1945-1970 and Gates of Eden: American Culture in the Sixties & Distinguished Professor of English & Director, Ph.D. Program in English The Graduate Center, City University of New York, New York, USA

• Thank you so much for sending me a copy of Re-Markings.  From the first
  moment, it seemed very exotic to me -- the paper had a different texture
  from American journals, the language, though English, was clearly and in
  many ways different from "American", the postage stamps were exotic.
  Quite thrilling for me to have a quick trip to India in the confines of
  my office.  It's impressive--Abby Zito, Department of American Literature and Civilization Middlebury College , Middlebury , Vermont , USA .

• I am very impressed with what you reproduce below from the Inaugural issue of Re-Markings. As you might know my views on Naipaul are very similar to yours. U might have seen my piece years ago on Lamming and Naipaul in Commonwealth : Problems of Response ed. CDN, Macmillan,1982. Congrats and best wishes --Dr. Amritjit Singh, Fulbright-Mundt Fellow, Professor of English, Rhode Island College , Providence , RI , USA .

·        Thanks for the issue of Re-Markings (vol 2, #1), which I've been enjoying.  It's rich stuff--you've got quite a set of writers represented, and I see some of your authors are writing in multiple genres. I've not met Jonathan Little yet, but I've had some email correspondence with him, and he seems like a sharp, nice man.  I agree with him about DeLillo. --Dr John Whalen-Bridge, English Language and Literature, National

University of Singapore, Singapore

·        It was kind of you to send me a copy of your journal Re-Markings. I was delighted and touched by your editorial. For me, your line on “Come September” and made unforgettable by Villy Vaughn, was sheer nostalgia. And Charles Johnson’s words made so much sense in our world of today. -- Jayanta Mahapatra,  Noted Indian Poet, Editor of CHANDRABHAGA.

• Letter To The Editor

Dear Dr. Ghosh,

A happy season of Spring & Summer to you. And Congratulations! Re-Markings has completed a year. Three tightly (but neatly) packed issues of interesting and meaningful reading matter, spread in about 400 pages, featuring critical essays and appreciations by over two score critics/scholars of nearly as many authors of India and abroad: no mean achievement this. One admires (almost envies) your ‘debut’ with such a flourish and wide support. It goes to your and your team’s credit that with only three issues, one as good as the other, you have carved out a place for yourself and the Re-Markings amongst the half-a-dozen or so special select literary journals in India. I find most of your offerings of interest and eye-openers. Though, at 80 plus, I just haven’t the time for literary discussions and searchings. Re-Markings has helped me to come abreast with some of the works of new, unheard of but established writers and trend-setters. For example Don DeLillo – the chronicler of what we all are obsessed with – the threat of terrorism. The survey of modern Sanskrit Literature is also useful. (Dated : March 23, 2003)--Bhupendra Hooja, Chief Editor, Indian Book      Chronicle, 11 Uniara Gardens , Jaipur.

• I cast a quick but careful glance at the inaugural issue of the journal Re-Markings. I deeply appreciate the painstaking selection of its scholarly content and the range and  diversity of its writing. The journal caters to a wide reading public interested in an enlarged spectrum of literary knowledge. I am particularly happy that you have introduced a number of more recent middle level teachers and scholars who are full of promise. I congratulate you on your achievement and look forward to your continued effort  in the direction of promoting scholarship and extending patronage to the younger generation.-- Dr. C.R. Visweswara Rao, Prof. & Head, Dept. of English, & Rector, S.K.D. University , ANANTAPUR (A.P.)

• Thank you very much for sending me a copy of the latest issue of Re-Markings. I congratulate you on launching a journal which is a difficult job. The journal is impressive in both content and production. I enjoyed reading the inaugural issue and am reading the current issue with a great deal of interest. It is no doubt a noble venture.-- Dr. Rajnath, Editor, Journal of Literary Criticism & Professor & Head, Department of English and Dean, Faculty of Arts, University of Allahabad , Allahabad .

• Thank you for sending me a copy of Re-Markings. In terms of both the getup and the quality of essays, this journal is destined to make its mark in the world of academics. The special section on Naipaul with three insightful pieces adds to its research viability. Anybody would feel inclined to get associated with this venture and I feel flattered to be invited for a paper.  Once again I congratulate you on bringing out a quality periodical from the Hindi heartland where a publication in English is an event in itself. Please keep on trying to contribute your bit to the world of learning. Your journal has raised great expectations in us. --Prof. S.N. Pandey, Professor of English, Banaras Hindu University , Varanasi .

• I did look up the website and was rather impressed with the overall quality. Of course, it must be a daunting task to publish a journal having to undertake the editor's onus of sorting out variable quality and the publisher's jugglery to balance finance and production. I really liked the honesty with which you have written the editorial  in the March 2006 ed of Re-Markings. Often we do not problematise, question or challenge concepts because we are daunted by the reputations and the linguistic magic of what we read. You have taken the lid off manufactured mysteries in a short but telling editorial. Many congratulations for the excellent work you are doing.
