The Indo-Caribbean Cultural Council (ICC) is inviting writers to submit

This Indian heritage day, which commemorates the arrival of indentured

observed as a national holiday on Thursday May 30, 2002.

Writers who wish to express themselves on cultural topics, socio-political
issues, current events, or any other subject relevant to the history of
Indians in Trinidad and the Diaspora are asked to submit their material in
the form of articles, reviews, short stories and poems.

The theme of the magazine would be "Protection of Traditional Knowledge."

libel.

ICC is an educational non-profit organization dedicated to publishing a
bi-annual magazine on issues, events and experiences affecting the lives of
Hindus and Indians in the Caribbean.
