Divanee Magazine
Template:Italic title Template:Use mdy dates Divanee Magazine was an online magazine[1] founded in 2003 by Miral Sattar with the aim of bringing about a magazine in which issues and concerns unique to women of the South Asian diaspora could be addressed.[2][3] The word, divanee, means crazy or passionate in Hindi.[1] The first issue appeared in November 2003.[4] The magazine folded in August 2010.[4]
Concentrating on a young 16-33 audience, Divanee offered the usual combination of fashion, health, music and film reviews, but it also hoped to provide a liberal perspective to young Desi women, with an editorial stance that promotes free-thinking, pride in one's heritage and oneself, individuality and overcoming cultural expectations. It promoted South Indian involvement in higher Education and it dedicated a lot of its content to successful Desi men and women.
