We are the sister site of the groundbreaking and successful Country Squire Magazine in the United Kingdom. Our Magazine launched in November 2021 amidst great fanfare. Readers across India and the United Kingdom raised a glass. Then traffic to the Magazine boomed, for which we are eternally grateful. Where is the magazine for the Anglosphere? For relationship 2.0? Country Squire Magazine India has a simple mission statement: to be an online publication which provides a platform for voices from the Anglosphere in India. To enjoy the present partnership and to look forward to the future for a modern Anglo-Indian relationship rather than looking back to the past that none of us alive today lived or experienced. To showcase the vibrant and young India which is globally confident. We sincerely hope to live up to that mission. Country Squire Magazine India houses a collection of interesting writers from myriad walks of life. We have our fair share of professors, business people, journalists and freelancers. We believe in offering opportunities for budding young writers or anyone who wishes to make a sincere attempt at getting published. Please feel free to send in your contributions.
