Description
-
Cover of the August 1996 issue of India Currents (Vol. 10, No. 5), featuring conservative writer Dinesh D’Souza alongside the headline “Affirmative Action Is Not the Answer.” This issue highlights a major national debate of the 1990s and showcases how Indian American voices, including those with differing political viewpoints, engaged with U.S. social policy.
The cover also features:
Kiran Bedi, pioneering Indian police officer, under the title “Super-Cop Kiran Bedi”
A piece teasing whether a Bay Area community leader might become “Senator McConigley?”
This issue demonstrates India Currents’ editorial range at the time, balancing political commentary, profiles of South Asian public figures, and civic engagement topics. It reflects the magazine’s role as a space where South Asian Americans explored identity, politics, and belonging in the United States during a formative decade.
