Founded, edited, and published by Gayatri Majumdar, brown critique (since 1995), the critically acclaimed literary quarterly, was a meeting ground for hundreds of Indian writers and those from abroad, new and established. In 2000, the magazine was re-launched as an e-zine. Brown critique is now re-launched here and features work published in previous issues of the quarterly as well as new writings. Besides writings it will also include works of art, music, reviews, and other forms of creative expressions.

Writer, poet, publisher, and editor Gayatri Majumdar's poems, short stories, and articles have been published in numerous newspapers and magazines in India and abroad. Her first anthology of poems - Shout - was published by Sampark, New Delhi, India. It includes her poems written since she was 19. Born in Calcutta (Kolkata), Gayatri lived in Bombay (Mumbai) and worked as a journalist at Press Trust of India, The Independent, and Debonair (where she also edited the Poetry Page) and was also associated with the Indian Chapter of P.E.N. She also worked as RJ at All India Radio in Mumbai. Gayatri's first novel, A Song for Bela, will be out by mid-2017! In the meantime, she is penning her second novel. Gayatri's other `passions' are listening to music, watching films, and travelling. Gayatri now lives in Pondicherry and works for a spiritual-based not-for-profit and research organization.

Gayatri's work has been featured in the recent The HarperCollins Book of English Poetry by Indians, edited by Sudeep Sen. Her poems also appeared in A Hudson View, 'Poetry International Web,' and in Indian Literature, IL 264. Some of her poems are up at 'Talking poetry'  ('open space') edited by Priya Sarukkai Chabria. You can also read her poems in the BigBridge issue of Anthology of Contemporary Indian Poetry (edited by Menka Shivdasani).
