To inspire, not to impress মন জোগাতে নয়, মন জাগাতে

Shuddhashar started its journey as a Little Magazine in December 1990, publishing writings by contemporary and anti-establishment writers. Between 2004, when Shuddhashar began book publishing, until 2015, more than one thousand novels, stories, poems, and essays were published as hard copy books. After the attack on Shuddhashar's publisher and office on October 31, 2015, all of Shuddhashar’s activities in Bangladesh were halted. Now, Shuddhashar is functioning as an alternative online platform to organize people's thoughts and opinions about freedom of expression, freedom of press, human rights, democratic values, and good governance. Poets, writers, artists, rights activists, freethinkers, exiled writers, and at-risk writers are presenting their ideas, observations, and opinions on this platform.

To inspire, not to impress.

১৯৯০ সালের ডিসেম্বর মাসে একটি লিটল ম্যাগাজিন হিসাবে শুদ্ধস্বরের যাত্রা শুরু হয় । সমসাময়িক ও প্রতিষ্টান বিরোধি লেখকদের চিন্তা ও লেখা প্রকাশিত হতো এতে। ২০০৪ সালে এর সহযোগি প্রতিষ্টান হিসাবে শুদ্ধস্বর নামেই বই প্রকাশনা কার্যক্রম শুরু হয়। ২০১৫ পর্যন্ত প্রায় এক হাজারের বেশি উপন্যাস-গল্প-কবিতা-প্রবন্ধসহ নানান ধরনের হার্ড ভার্সন বই প্রকাশিত হয়েছে শুদ্ধস্বর থেকে। ২০১৫ সালের ৩১ অক্টোবর প্রকাশককে হত্যা করার উদ্দেশ্যে শুদ্ধস্বর এর কার্যালয়ে আক্রমন করার পর থেকে বাংলাদেশে শুদ্ধস্বরের সবধরনের কার্যক্রম বন্ধ হয়ে যায়। বর্তমানে বিকল্প মাধ্যম অনলাইনে শুদ্ধস্বর মুক্তচিন্তা ও কথা বলার স্বাধীনতা, সংবাদ প্রকাশের স্বাধীনতা, মানবাধিকার, গণতান্ত্রিক সুশাসন বিষয়ে মানুষের চিন্তা ও মতামত সংগঠিত করার জন্য প্ল্যাটফর্ম হিসাবে কাজ শুরু করেছে। কবি-লেখক-শিল্পী-অধিকার কর্মী-মুক্ত চিন্তক-নির্বাসিত লেখক এবং বিপদগ্রস্থ লেখকরা এই প্ল্যাটফর্মে তাদের চিন্তা-ধারনা-পর্যবেক্ষণ ও মতামত তুলে ধরছেন।
