Editors Note

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the 8th issue of “Winds and Waves” – the Institute of Cultural Affairs International magazine.

First published in October 2011, it aims to be a forum for a range of people and groups, both within the ICA and without, to highlight our accomplishments and engage in a dialogue that may bring fresh perspectives on our work.

While the editorial committee has worked hard to solicit articles, edit, lay them out and put them online, it is the insightful articles and reports from readers like yourselves that give this magazine its substance.

We want to keep refining the product and need more and different types of articles. In particular, we want to add a letters/comments page. As an Indian thinker once said: “There is a beggar inside each of us who craves recognition, whether it be praise or a grunt of disapproval.”
So please send us your bouquets and brickbats after reading this issue and we shall put them in the next one. Please also include comments on specific articles.

The deadline for the next issue of "Winds and Waves" is

Friday, July 18th, 2014.

Co-Editors – Dharmalingam Vinasithamby and John Miesen
