And We’re Back!

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Finally, after weeks of tweaking the site (and not just plain tweaking), the blog is back up and running better than ever. We apologize to all the rabid followers of the Manifesto.

Under Construction

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Where have the articles gone? Don’t worry, we have plenty of earth-shattering, social-more-questioning, everything-you-know-offending, truth-as-we-see-it, laugh-your-ass-off, I-hate-you-guys posts, articles, and op eds on the way. We’re just taking care of a little site housekeeping, so bear with us.Desi Manifesto Blog will be back on track in two shakes. Depending on what you’re shaking.

Thanks for reading.

Help Wanted

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

We want fresh voices, interesting POVs, captivating stories, and thought-provoking ideas, whether they’re funny, political, dramatic, edgy, fiction or real. Desi Manifesto aims to become a true forum, and we need your voices to get there. Even if that voice yells about how stupid our views are.

Read our submission policy, write your world-altering piece, and send it in. See people’s comments. Smile/frown, write back furiously. Rinse. Repeat.

The Creation

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

As Indian men, we’ve shared numerous experiences that sometimes only other South Asian men can grasp. This is especially true when it comes to living in the US. But up to this point, the only way to really discuss these experiences freely, among other men, was to have a set of brown friends who understand the nuances of your family, culture, stereotypes, and possible frustration with the attitudes of brown women.

Until now.
