Swabhimaan is a weekly paper arguing a libertarian case about India, published every Thursday.
The paper takes its name from the Hindi for self-respect. Its concern is the distance between what a policy is announced to do and what it does to the person it lands on — the mill that may not hold its own sugar, the school that may not open, the applicant who waits for a permit nobody is accountable for issuing.
How it is made
Every issue is written in Markdown and set in LaTeX, and each one exists as a print-ready A4 edition before it exists as a web page. That order matters: the constraints of a page — a fixed measure, a real column, a bottom to the paper — are what keep an argument to its length. The website is generated from the same files the printed edition is set from, by the same tools, so the two cannot disagree about what an issue contains.
The type is XCharter for text and Fraunces for display, with Lato for labels. The cream page and burnt orange are sampled from the cover artwork.
Reading it
