Independent journalism that centers rights & dignity

Maktoob is an independent Indian newsroom focused on human rights and minorities. Your moral and financial support protects our editorial independence and keeps this space for ideas and reflection alive.

Our coverage of religious freedom and social exclusion in India has become a resource for advocacy groups seeking accountability. Over the years, Maktoob has cultivated a dynamic audience whose timely interventions pressure stakeholders to respond.

“To live like a tree in solitude and freedom, like a forest in solidarity.” — Nazim Hikmet

We value voices often sidelined by mainstream noise. We take clear editorial positions and pursue concise, in-depth journalism — upholding democratic, plural ideals and asking hard questions of power.
