An Introduction

Hi,
 
Welcome to ‘Stop Manufacturing Us!’ (aka SMU!)!
 
We’re an online journal pertaining to issues regarding the Indian Education System (aka IES). Please visit our ‘About us’ page to know more about us and also visit the pages on "Our Missions", "Our Policies" and "Submission Guidelines".
 
We will be publishing new material every Friday at 4:00 PM. So, don’t forget to subscribe through email to get the regular updates regarding our posts and announcements!
 
As a general reader, you can contribute in many ways and become part of this enticing student phenomenon. It could be a simple rating of the posts, a comment, a referral to one of your friends who might be interested in this issue or a well thought out essay expressing your original ideas or solutions to the challenges that IES faces…regardless, we welcome you to contribute. Remember, in the world of internet, the keyboard is mightier than the pen (which is already established to be mightier than the sword)!
 
In case you don’t have any significant contributions yourself but know someone who has the capacity to contribute significantly, don’t hesitate to urge them to become part of this phenomenon. We’re sure they’ll enjoy having their voice heard.
 
We hope all this not only makes sense to you and makes you think but also touches your life in ways you didn’t imagine a journal could.
 
Feel free to explore our site and also like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter. When you’re done reading the posts and our pages, please take the time to leave your comments about us on the ‘Guest Comments’ page. We encourage your support and suggestions!
