The Modern Review was a monthly magazine published in
Indian nationalist intelligentsia.[2] It carried essays on politics, economics, sociology, as well as poems, stories, travelogues, and sketches. Radhakamal Mukerjee published his early, pioneering essays on environmental degradation in India here and Verrier Elwin reports from the Gond country were first published here. Numerous other friends of India including Rev. Jabez T. Sunderland wrote regularly for the magazine. Another indication of the journal's stature was the publication, within its pages, of Jawaharlal Nehru's pseudonymous autocritique Rashtrapati, by ‘Chanakya’ in November 1937.[3] Ramachandra Guha indicates that alone was evidence that it was "leading journal of the progressive Indian intelligentsia."[4]
The Modern Review had a sister magazine Scheduled Castes Federation. Its only real competitor was the Indian Social Reformer.
The Hindu Guru
Swami Nigamananda's collection Thakurer Chithi was published in this magazine in 1941 (other reference date:26 December 1938).[5]
