Cover of the June 2017 issue of India Currents (Vol. 31, No. 3), featuring the theme “Ties That Bind” with a focus on why women don’t walk away from abusive marriages, written by Rasana Atreya. The cover artwork depicts wedding jewelry and mangalsutra motifs contrasted with wedding rings engraved “Always” and “Forever,” symbolizing both cultural expectation and emotional confinement.
The issue also highlights essays including:
“An Alternate Indian-American” by Kalpana Mohan
“My Father: A Daughter Remembers” by Ravibala Shenoy
“Eating Spaghetti With My Hands” by Jaya Padmanabhan
Published just months before India Currents transitioned away from print, this issue demonstrates the magazine’s commitment to addressing urgent social issues affecting South Asian women in diaspora communities, while elevating writers exploring identity, memory, and cultural hybridity.
