In 2018, Kiriti Sengupta established Ethos Literary Journal (ELJ) and obtained an ISSN for its online edition (ISSN 2581-592X). The journal launched with a skilled editorial team, including Amit Shankar Saha, Nikita Parik, Utsab Ray, Koushik Sen, and Pramila Tripathi. The first three editions showcased an eclectic mix of poems, short stories, and critical essays, earning enthusiastic praise worldwide. Unfortunately, operations were interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which ultimately caused the journal to lose focus. ELJ hosted five editions of Poetry India, a segment dedicated to Indian poetry written in or translated into English, selected and edited by Angshuman Kar. We have preserved the first three editions of ELJ and all five issues of Poetry India. We are currently seeking meaningful essays, reviews, and poems that help readers reflect and introspect.
