Our stories present a unique mix of detailed reporting, lively and vivid writing, and a commitment to the art of storytelling whether the subject is politics, culture, travel or art.</div> <div class="rtejustify"> &nbsp;</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> Far from publishing the typical sort of pieces that fill the pages of daily newspapers&nbsp;and weekly magazines rushing to chase yesterday&rsquo;s headlines, <em>The Caravan</em>&nbsp;showcases artfully constructed stories whose subjects go far beyond the chatter of&nbsp;daily television news. Based on months of reporting and research, our stories are&nbsp;crafted into dramatic narratives that employ pace, colour, character and style to keep&nbsp;the reader hooked from start to finish&mdash;combining the excitement and immediacy of&nbsp;great literature with real characters, real plots and real consequences.</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> &nbsp;</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> Drawing on the tradition established by international magazines like <em>The New Yorker</em>&nbsp;and <em>Granta</em>, <em>The Caravan</em> presents a rich and nuanced picture of contemporary India&nbsp;in all its complexity. Since its relaunch in January 2010, the magazine has earned a&nbsp;reputation as one of the country&rsquo;s most sophisticated publications: a showcase for the&nbsp;region&rsquo;s finest writers and a distinctive blend of masterful reporting, incisive criticism&nbsp;and commentary, stunning photo essays, and gripping new fiction and poetry.&nbsp;</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> &nbsp;</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> <em>The Caravan</em> fills a niche in the Indian media that has remained vacant for far too&nbsp;long, one for the intellectually curious and aesthetically refined reader, who seeks a&nbsp;magazine of exceptional quality rather than the proliferating quantity of publications&nbsp;now crowding newsstands. It is a new kind of magazine for a new kind of reader, one&nbsp;who demands both style and substance.</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> &nbsp;</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> <p><strong>Awards and Recognition</strong></p> <p><strong>2010</strong></p> <p>For her article &lsquo;<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150917052844/http://www.caravanmagazine.in/reportage/treasure-trash" target="_blank">The Treasure of Trash</a>&rsquo;

With 32 magazines in nine&nbsp;languages, Delhi Press is also currently the leading magazine publisher in the country.</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> &nbsp;</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> Established in 1939 by the late Mr Vishwa Nath, a visionary and freedom fighter,&nbsp;Delhi Press debuted with <em>The Caravan</em> in 1940, followed by <em>Sarita</em>, a Hindi monthly&nbsp;in 1945. Thereafter, Delhi Press launched <em>Mukta</em>, <em>Champak</em>, <em>Grihshobha</em>, <em>Woman&rsquo;s&nbsp;Era</em>, <em>Suman Saurabh </em>and <em>Saras Salil</em>, among others.</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> &nbsp;</div> <div class="rtejustify" style=""> <em>The Caravan</em> was published for 48 years until, in 1988, Delhi Press decided to&nbsp;discontinue the magazine to start a current affairs magazine, while the group was still&nbsp;demonstrating consistent growth in all its other titles. Then in 2010, <em>The Caravan</em> was&nbsp;relaunched as India&rsquo;s first narrative journalism magazine.</div> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="clear-block"> <div class="meta"> </div> </div>
