Confusion Over Magazine Cover Price

Muslim Murasu January 2011

Magazines of distinction sell at eight dollars (400 rupees) in international market. Readers are conditioned to spend 100 rupees daily. In Tamilnadu, good magazine can be priced justifiably at 50 rupees. But magazines run by Muslim community sell for 10 rupees.
Articles are written in the middle of the night after abandoning slumber, shrinking materialistic atmosphere, forsaking self-interests and with utmost sense of responsibility. Readers who read heart stirring, thought kindling, life changing and path breaking creations should immediately send 1000 rupees to writer or publisher. Nothing will be available eternally for free in today’s world. Air is polluted. Clean water is not available. There is paucity of leaders who love nation and dearth of religious people who love simplicity. Knowledge and motivation has to be imparted in such tough bitter climate. Those who seek quality magazines can consider literary expense as part of their life. Those who spend 20000 rupees per month for family expenses can donate 200 rupees for the benefit of magazines. 2 lakh rupees donation is given for LKG education. Professional courses swallow 10 lakh rupees. Zubeda Hamid writes in Indian Express that reporters and writers in famed magazines and newspaper are given gifts as varying as holiday package, refrigerator, washing machine, admission in educational institution, diagnosis and treatment in star hospital, mobile phone, jewelery, gold coin, imported liquor and perfume, modern suit material, sweet box, expensive wrist-watch and dry fruit box. Muslim writer take up the mantle in religious circle and literary landscape with an attitude of philanthropy and a sense of integrity. Such service is on par with contributions of Imam, Mohsin and Madrasa Ustad. Creators sweat their blood out so that the society will live a balanced life. Without much hype or fanfare they create poems, articles and short stories. Society gradually progresses owing to this. Confusion ends and path emerges. Columnists and journalists complete the task that was once done by Prophets and Auliyas. Readers who get to read apt and perfect writing should extend monetary support with urgency. Though cover value is printed as 10 rupees, 1000 rupees should be granted for the magazine. Else quality creations wont be created.
