History
Mother India began as a semi-political fortnightly, and needed Sri Aurobindo's sanction before material in it could be published. Although Sri Aurobindo himself did not write in Mother India, his interest in important issues of the time was reflected in the writings of his disciple Amal Kiran, the editor of the journal. For example, his message on Korea with its prediction of Stalinist communism's designs on South East Asia and India through Tibet, was originally sent in private to Amal Kiran and became the basis of one of the editorials. All the editorials were submitted to Sri Aurobindo for approval, and most were found to be impeccable, although on a few occasions small but significant changes were made. Sri Aurobindo declared privately that Mother India was his paper.
A number of early editorials have recently been collected and published in India and the World Scene (ISBN 81-7060-118-5) and The Indian Spirit and the World's Future (ISBN 81-7060-227-0)
