Recently I’ve started tracking some blogs focused on India. I figured I’d share the list here if people are interested:

* [[http://desipundit.com/|desipundit.com]]: this is more of a //meta-blog// — it collects stories from a lot of different Indi blogs.
* [[http://desicritics.org/index.php|desicritics.org]]: what the title says — Media, Culture, Politics, Sports and More with a South Indian focus.
* [[http://slashindia.org/|slashindia.org]]: “The real sotries of India”. Inspired by Slashdot, of course.
* [[http://theotherindia.org/|How the other half lives]]: //This blog will attempt to explore that uncertain terrain. It will focus on the “other half” that is often ignored by a market-driven mainstream media. It will attempt to present a fuller picture of India and a fuller examination of issues of concern than what we normally see around us.//
* [[http://www.contentsutra.com/blog|contentsutra.com]]: Focused on digital media related news from India
* [[http://indianeconomy.org/|indianeconomy.org]]: what it says
* [[http://deeshaa.org|Atanu Dey on India's Development]]
* [[http://indicast.blogsome.com/|indicast]]: an experiment in //desi// podcast.

In general, I think the quality at indianeconomy, Atanu, How the better…, and desicritics is good. Desipundit is good for keeping an eye on what //could// be good. Contentsutra is also good, specially because of its sharp focus. Slashindia needs to get its act together. Indicast is fairly new, but its a good beginning. I think with a few more podcasts behind them, they’ll become a lot better (in terms of focus, depth, experience and sense of humor). A quick search on [[http://odeo.com|Odeo]] reveiled two more India related podcasts out there — [[http://www.odeo.com/channel/30799/view|Podmasti]] and [[http://www.odeo.com/channel/33333/view|India in classrooms]] — I haven’t tried them out yet. I’ll check back and report when I have, but both look interesting.
