Thank you so much for sharing with me the 14th Dec 2021 issue of your Unheard Voices, an e-periodical under the aegis of the Social Studies Foundation dedicated to the upliftment and due recognition of the people of the SC/ST communities. Your report “Recognised” covering the 15 SC/ST personalities that had been honoured with Padma awards for 2020 and 2021 is vivid and appealing. And thanks a lot for giving space to me as well in the report. Journals, initiatives and movements like yours with a positive and constructive spirit aimed at a harmonious Indian society should be the order of the day. And my views are the same as yours in this regard. May your mission receive the support it deserves and succeed well. Kudos to your entire team.

Thanks to the Padma Shri recipient Dr Asavadi Prakasa Rao who shared with me the 14th Dec 2021 issue (Vol. 1) of your Unheard Voices, I am very much touched with the report "Unrecognised" therein. The hardships and accomplishments of 15 of our SC/ST brethren and sisters brought tears of joy to me. I am a Brahmin having love & affection for the people of SC/ST communities. Your positive & constructive approach for ushering in an India of social harmony is the need of the hour and highly laudable as well as emulable. By the way, I was the official guest accompanying Dr Asavadi Prakasa Rao to the Rashtrapati Bhavan for the Padma investiture ceremony. Warm regards.

I am delighted to have a soft copy of Unheard Voices, devoted to Social Equality Implies Gender Equality. Many many thanks for sharing it with me. The Issues are outstanding collection of articles on very high order and meeting the need of the hour. The issues are excellent and should be read by a sensitive citizen of India.
